National Agricultural Museum Delhi depicts how "agriculture" in India has transformed and developed over time, since pre historic periods to the present day.

Indian economy owes a major part of its livelihood to Agriculture and runs deep in the nerves of the Indian sub continent. Achievement of food self sufficiency was the major concern of the national leaders after1947. Hence, in the third five year plan, the issue was taken up with more dedication. Food security, today, is not a problem of quantity but rather of distribution and quality.
