Indian economy is one of the most promising developing economy of the world as its structural changes also present a clear picture. The data reveals that after independence; in G.D.P., the share of agriculture has declined, the industrial sector's share is stagnant now, but the share of service sector has increased tremendously. The agriculture sector plays a significant role in the Indian economy. In this paper a brief history of agriculture's situation in country since 75 years after independence is portrayed. In 1950, the share of agriculture sector in total national income was 50%, it declined to 18% in 2016-17. But even today more that 60% of workforce is engaged in agriculture and still the conditions of farmers are very distressed. In all these years, the country has been adopting production centric agriculture, meaning emphasis was on way to increase production and productivity and now there is much need to change the approach and make the agriculture more profitable and increase the welfare and dignity of farmers. The challenges and problems of farmers and agricultural sector are discussed in this paper and also major reforms and new laws initiated by the government to combat with the farmer's suicides and encourage the vision of doubling farmer's income
