The importance of agricultural education, for improvement of agriculture, was stressed even as early as in the 1890s. In the hundred years that have passed since then, a number of educational centres from the farmers' levels to agricultural universities and research organisations have been set up in different parts of the country.- India's Food Policy Since Independence

The food policy followed by the Government of India has been dependent, to a large extent, upon the availability of food grains in the country. In periods of shortages, stringent controls on movement, procurement of food grains and rationing have been resorted to. In periods of good production, on the other hand, a relaxation in these measures has taken place. Over the years, the fair price shop system has become the major instrument for supplies of food grains from government stocks to consumers.- Panchayats in India-Approaches and Ground Realities in a Historical Perspective

The panchayats have had a chequered history in the country. After fits and starts of establishing them during the British Period, they were set up in most parts of the country after Independence. The Panchayati Raj Institutions were on their ascendency during 1959-64, stagnated during 1965-69 and entered a phase of decline thereafter. The 73rd Constitution Amendment Bill passed in 1993 visualises the grant of powers and ensuring elections being held regularly. The Bill also gives authority to panchayats to undertake development programmes, provisions for grant-in-aid from the Consolidated Fund of India for the purpose, and setting up of State Finance Commissions every five years for providing funds to the panchayats.- The Assam Movement Class, Ideology and Identity
