Page | 1 Pmfias.com This notes on Indian Agriculture – Major Crops is only for Prelims (Compiled from Prelims point of view. This notes should be sufficient for Prelims). This notes doesn’t include any maps. Complete Notes on Indian Agriculture [GS 1 Geography (Factors determining the location of primary, secondary and tertiary industries related to agriculture) + GS 3 (Major Crops till Land Reforms)] with maps will uploaded on given later (not sure when). “Indian Agriculture – Major Crops” will be a cake walk if you have understood Climatology, Climatic Regions and Indian Climatology well. It can still be managed without the knowledge of Indian Climatology. But it will take a bit longer to understand. Green revolution, Bringing Green Revolution in Eastern India (BGREI), Sustainable Agriculture, Organic Farming and Biofertilizers are already included in my Environment Notes. How to approach this notes  All points important for prelims are Bolded (Highlighted).  Read only the lines containing Bolded (Highlighted) phrases or words.  If you are unable to grasp only by reading lines containing Bolded (Highlighted) phrases or words, then read the whole text.  Don’t try to by heart or remember, try to understand the concept, it will stick in your mind for long for sure.  Don’t rush, because ‘half knowledge’ is more dangerous than ‘no knowledge’, especially in prelims where there is negative marking.  Read 1 hour a day for 4-5 days. 5 hours + 1 hour revision should do the job.  Answer previous prelims questions + practice questions from this section after revision.  This part is a ‘low-cost – High- Benefit’ section for prelims. So don’t ignore.
