Developing countries of the world rests upon the agriculture sector. Agriculture sector is the major source of livelihood to its residents by providing employment to the larger section of the society. However, due to certain infrastructural bottlenecks that such economies face, agriculture sector is the most hit sector. Lack of mechanization, rapid urbanization, inadequate infrastructure, irregular power supply and unpredictable weathers are some of the major falls of the agricultural sector. There have been instances from economies like India, Pakistan and Bangladesh that farmers face difficulty in harvesting and cultivating their crops and consequently there is a decline in output level which ultimately results in the increased number of hunger people. The heavy dependence onto this sector has definitely resulted in inadequate and exploitation of the land and labor as well. Land is exploited by heavy cultivation and changed (which are unfavorable) sowing patterns whereas labor is exploited by over-working hours on the field, higher maintenance and above all an irregular feed. Such practices emerged due to the prevailing inequalities in economy.
