Abstract
This chapter discusses the rationale behind India's goal to double farmers' income, the trends in farmers' income, and the initiatives by the government to increase farmers' income. A three-pronged strategy for faster agricultural growth to double farmers' income is then suggested. This strategy pursues (1) improved productivity and production efficiency, (2) agricultural diversification including secondary and speciality agriculture, and (3) policy support and linking farmers to market. An action plan for implementing this three-pronged strategy is presented.
