(i) The government can spend some money or banks can provide loans to construct wells, etc., which will reduce the dependency of farmers on rains, and they will be able to grow two crops a year.
(ii) Construction of dams and canals can lead to lot of generation of employment in agricultural sector itself.
(iii) If government invests some money on transportation and storage of crops or makes better rural roads, it can provide productive employment not just to farmers but also to others who are in services like transport or trade.
(iv) If local banks give credits at reasonable rates to the small and marginal-farmers, they will be able to buy necessary inputs for their crops in time.
(v) Another way to solve this problem is to identify, promote and locate industries and services in the semi-rural areas where a large number of people may be employed. Example : Many farmers grow arhar and chickpea, for them a dal-mill to procure and process these and selling in the cities; opening a cold storage will give an opportunity to the farmers to store their produce like potato, and onion and sell them at good price; villagers near forests can start with honey collection, etc.
(vi) To improve health situation, we need health centres, hospitals and for that doctors, nurses, workers.
(vii) Similarly to provide education to all children, we would need lots of schools which can also generate employment.
