Question
How has horticulture encouraged Indian rural development?
✓
Answer
Horticulture plays an important role in providing crops for nutrition and food, besides addressing employment concerns. It gives employment to around 19 percent of the total labour force.
It has become a means of improving livelihood for many women and underprivileged classes too.
Flower harvesting, nursery maintenance, hybrid seed production, tissue culture, propagation of fruits, flowers and food processing give employment and remunerative options for women in rural areas.
