Detailed Solution

The Personal Accident Insurance Scheme (PAIS) and Kissan Credit Card (KCC) are two programs the Indian government has launched to help farmers. Radio and television also established agricultural programming and specific weather updates for farmers. To prevent farmers from being taken advantage of by intermediaries and speculators, the government also publishes minimum support and remunerative and procurement prices for vital commodities. According to the five-year plan, agriculture was given major attention. The creation of HYV seeds for rice in the 1970s and wheat in the early 1960s laid the groundwork for India's Green Revolution.
