After independence, the agricultural sector has seen a lot of developments in seeds, technology, fertilizers, micronutrients, pesticides, herbicides, GPS, robotic farming, block chain, the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, data analytics, etc. But it’s not free from crisis as well. During the last seventy- five years agricultural sector has gone through so many crises. Most of the population of the country depends on agriculture, and doing it for so many years, they are still not satisfied with the income and productivity of agriculture.

Government of India has implemented so many policies for the development of agricultural sector and farmers. This paper also covers the alternatives, which are essential for optimizing the agrarian distress and farmers’ dissatisfaction.
