Trends in Indian wheat production before and after the inception of the All India Coordinated Research Project (AICRP) on wheat have been analyzed to show its significant progress over the years. A brief intercountry comparison of productivity, production and area coupled with regional comparison within India has been attempted to give an idea about the contribution of country and regions, respectively, for global and national food security. The milestones in Indian wheat programme and research outcomes were highlighted post-AICRP along with the vision and strategies set for 2050 against diverse production challenges. Regional disparities, zone-wise production constraints and research programmes for achieving the set production target were briefed. The chapter concludes with possible interventions in strengthening the complete wheat value chain for ensuring food security for the future generation.

In India, the agriculture sector is constantly improving its mechanism to maximize output and ensure food security. However, a large population is leaving farming practices because of the low-income generation. As a result, in 2016, the government of India formed an interministerial committee for the evaluation of existing problems and then recommends feasible strategies to accomplish the mission of 'Doubling Farmers' Income by 2022'. In this review, we have discussed the concept of doubling farmers' income, its present standpoints, challenges and the role of the Indian government in mitigating the same. Further, the innovative approaches to meet the aforementioned goal have also been highlighted. The Indian government has supported various development programs, implemented a large number of schemes and recently, additional income transfer under the PM-KISAN scheme to double farmers' income. Innovative agricultural approaches like advanced farming methods, smart agriculture, diversification and commercialization, climate smart agriculture and nutrition farming if implemented at Pan India level will definitely resulted into income generation. Despite tremendous efforts by the Indian government, some challenges still exist in the agriculture sector and this study gives valuable recommendations that would act as pillars in the policymaking to achieve the 'doubling farmers' income initiative.

“…The crop management strategies through manipulating production technologies like ensuring availability of quality inputs (Singh et al, 2017), timely sowing, optimum plant stand for higher yields, managing adverse effects of climate change, promoting farm mechanization, adoption of RCTs especially zero tillage for high yield and net returns, increasing resource use efficiency, improving soil health through balanced fertilization, green manuring may be advantageous. Efficient technological dissemination through use of IT tools, farm advisory and market intelligence, upscaling improved technologies through economic assessment, creating awareness among farmers of new improved varieties and production technologies for yield as well as income enhancement (Sendhil et al, 2017) are supportive link between research institutions and farmers that help in enhancing farm productivity and profitability. The policy reorientation for price, seed, credit availability to farmers, Infrastructure development (roads, storage structures, market) and Institutional innovations like e-National Agriculture Market are some of the policy issues to be considered for enhanced production (Nagarajan, 2005).…”
