Abstract:
India is predominantly an agrarian economy that has traditionally relied on the monsoon. However, its contribution to the country’s Gross Value Added (GVA) is less than one-fifth in comparison to the manufacturing and service sector. The ailing sector has been receiving a multitude of sops from the Central and state governments for improvement in the socioeconomic and environmental conditions of the rural and agricultural areas. However, the outputs have not been impressive, except for the increase in food production. Socio-environmental impacts in the rural and agricultural scenario tell a different story. For instance, growing regional disparities in production, increasing farmer suicides, depleting ground water, rising soil toxicity have risen dramatically in the recent past etc. Furthermore, the impacts of climate change have become more evident in agriculture. This highly vulnerable sector needs robust and high-risk management solutions. This article attempts to direct the reader’s attention to the significant role that solar energy technologies can have in not only mitigating climate risks but also improve rural and agricultural livelihoods and make the sector resilient and self-reliant in the years to come.
