ABSTRACT: The paper focuses on the plight faced by farmers in the Indian agricultural sector and particularly those related to income. The initial parts of the paper are devoted to highlighting the scale of the problem, the composition of the Indian agricultural sector, and the policy measures introduced by the Government of India to ease the situation. Additionally, it focuses on the factors that affect farmers’ pay and suggests affecting them in order to increase farmers’ pay. The latter half of the paper examines exactly how those factors can be influenced and what the expected outcomes could reasonably look like. The latter half of the paper also pays attention to how nonconventional policy measures can impact farming incomes. The paper concludes by highlighting how different sectors of the government and civil society need to cooperate to achieve the goal of high income for farmers.
