I'm not thinking so far into the future. What I'm saying is for rural India to have a profound growth in income it is not necessary to engineer a radical movement away from agriculture. If Indian farmers are provided with an opportunity to participate in new markets (domestic and export) they can generate higher income. My next point is for the food processing industry to be actively developed to move the 'agricultural' economy further up the value chain. This industry need not necessarily have to be located where the agro-inputs are grown. The crucial enabler for all this is infrastructure. Taking grains to factories, canned food to the ports, frozen food to the airports on refrigerated trucks, fresh fruits to global supermarket shelves, cold storage etc needs good roads, power, and telecommunications. I'd even say that once you get this infrastructure in place, the rest will happen on its own.
