      Decent attempt, introduction is fine. Content is also good, however, also discuss about the methodology given in the article(designating farmers as those having 50% income from crop cultivation) and the drawbacks associated with it. Rest of the points are okay.

      Conclusion is fine.
      Keep writing. 🙂

      Nandhini,

      Nice attempt, intro is good. In the body mention the different methods for e.g agriculture census, designating farmers as those having atleast 50% income from crop cultivation, PM-KISAN method etc to make the answer more specific. Otherwise points are good.

      The answer ends a bit abruptly, you can mention a short conclusion with a forward-looking suggestion.
      Keep writing. 🙂

      4.5/10
