Abstract

The income of the farmers is unstable in India since it started. Which affect their livelihood inevitably in resulting their access to health education and employment savings going down day by day. Farmers of the Jharkhand state suffer from low income and unstable income due to low productivity causes of these issues are infertile, backward technology, and climate changes because Jharkhand is located in that kind of geographical area. Thus we see there are many issues for the farmer in Jharkhand in their income and livelihood. All of the above is which can be solved if the farmers adopt the ground-level effect. The ground-level effect is how the farmers will be involved in agriculture development. At the level of farmers the basic need of a farmer is funding to support their deficiency in production and unaffected livelihood these funds should be provided by banks and other financial institutions such as NABARD. This research paper is trying to discuss the issues of farmers in Jharkhand relating to their income and livelihood and suggest some remedies to resolve the issues. Because farmers are the backbone of the Indian economy we cannot ignore farmers.
