More than 60 percent of Indian Population depends for their livelihood on Agriculture i.e. 60 percent of workforce is concentrated on the Agriculture in India. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of our country is approximately 3.17 lakh crores with a growth rate of 8.95 percent. These GDP is the outcome of 100 per cent of Indian working population effort, surprisingly 60 percent of the population who is employed in the agricultural sector is contributing only 18.8 percent of the GDP and the remaining 82 percent of GDP is produced by the other sectors of workforce. This situation reveals the fact that majority of the workforce in India is being wasted; they are concentrating on the less productive activities which is being neglected. This situation has to change in order to achieve inclusive growth. Farmer’s efforts in this area are being neglected. So, there should be a change in the practices, technology up gradation and implementation methods which are bearing no fruits either to the country or to the farmers themselves. The present study has made an attempt to enquire the support provided by the Agricultural Extension Officers to the Rayalaseema Agricultural farmers and evaluate the awareness levels of farmers about e platforms for selling crops. An average farmer spends major portion of his life in the agriculture, in return they are not getting adequate remuneration in any form. In addition the farmers are acquiring huge amount of debt. In order to clear these huge accumulated debts the farmers are selling their lands to private money lenders and businessmen’s and forcing themselves to vacate their village in search of wage labors to feed their families. The data required for the study have been collected from both primary and secondary sources.
