While it boosted food production, it also led to <strong>regional inequalities, soil degradation, and rising input costs<\/strong>, contributing to a new phase of agrarian distress, particularly for small farmers.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong> Commercialization and Capitalist Farming: <\/strong>Agriculture in India has increasingly shifted from subsistence to commercial modes. With the rise of contract farming and corporate influence, farming has become profit-driven. However, <strong>marginal farmers, lacking bargaining power and capital, are pushed into debt traps and economic vulnerability<\/strong>, creating a dualistic rural economy.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong> Rural-Urban Migration: <\/strong>Due to <strong>unemployment and agrarian stress<\/strong>, many rural residents migrate to cities in search of work. This distress migration leads to the <strong>depopulation of villages, leaving behind the elderly and children, while creating overcrowded urban slums<\/strong>. Such <strong>migration<\/strong> is reshaping the demographic and social structure of rural India.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong> Government Schemes and Rural Development: <\/strong>Initiatives like <strong>MGNREGA, PM-KISAN, Digital India, and the Rurban Mission<\/strong> aim to improve rural livelihoods and infrastructure.
