Conclusion
Agriculture is one industry that will never go redundant which means that there is constant room for scientific and technological innovations and improvements. Since agriculture is an ancient profession in India, several farmers still practise farming in the traditional manner. It is not to say that there is anything wrong with the traditional methods. But each farmer must be able to honestly introspect how much of the process can be mechanised to enhance yield and how much of it must remain traditional to preserve the fertility of the soil. Only then will there be a perfect marriage between the old and the new.
