article/opinion/columns/ agricultural-reforms-farm- laws-farmers-protest-msp- 7134233/ - In the intro, cite figure about the water usage for agriculture to highlight the excessive use of resources.
- In the body, discuss the areas in which science and technology could help for example- research for reducing water usage, increasing yields of coarse grain crops to replace wheat and rice, genetic engineering and gene-editing technology to deal with the pests etc.
- Conclude by mentioning the need to increase the expenditure on R&D as India spends only 0.7 to 0.8 per cent of GDP on it.

Good intro.
In the challenges, you can give facts like Indian total factor productivity growth remains below 2% per annum; in contrast, China’s total factor productivity growth is about 6% per annum, even though China also has smallholding farmers.
Good content.
Way froward is suggested in a decent manner.
Good conclusion.
Keep working hard.

Hi SRP
Good intro.
After the introduction, give a proper heading to refrain from monotony.
In this case you can give heading- Challenges to crop productivity in India.
Content is there but need to present it in a better way.
Underline keywords and use subheadings in the way forward.
Keep working hard.
