Helping the Ryot

To Agricultural workers in all walks of life whether in the field or in the laboratory, the most essential function is to help the ryot. The nature of the help and the capacity for help may vary with the position of the worker as well as the ryot. Help has to be rendered to the small illiterate ryot, the bigger land-lord, the manager of large Farms and on occasions to the ryots' community as a whole whether in any one locality or on wider field. Within the past decade partly due to the high prices following the war and partly due to the need for meeting shortages, there has been a greater intensity on the part of the ryots to take up agricultural improvements and this drive for better agriculture is likely to gain more and more opportunities in the five year plan for India, which is now finalised by the Prime Minister.
