The farmer is said to be the God of cereals whatever he produces necessary for human survival and welfare. He serves the people of nation by ploughing and growing food grains to calm the flame of stomach. Today’s vulnerable condition of farmers compelled to live on half bread or forced to commit suicide. Increasing cost of input, low value crops, dependency on monsoon and unsatisfactory price of output resist to left farming. Central as well as State government have framed many policies for their betterment but delay on timely execution and lack of awareness become unresponsive. Parlous conditions of farmers set great challenge to make them in farming. Long term retention on the occupation is riskier unless measures have been taken to double their income. It is not easy to doubling income only focusing on minimizing cost, developing and facilitating infrastructure and increasing efficiency on input uses. In Bihar, it is felt that farmers should be given proper training to adopt non farming practices. Paying more attention towards creating market and mechanism for output and conscious efforts for promoting nonfarm practices would be the reliable measures to doubling farmers’ income.
