agriculture. Also there are many farms. India sought

has one of the largest economies in the world! Because
of population growth, average incomes are the lowest in
the world. Many millions of the country’s people live in
poverty. Nearly a third of all families have no land at all,
and both adults and children must sell their labor to the
large land holders. A very high proportion of the landmore than half overall-is used for farming.
