Traditional occupations in India - Agriculture

This topic introduces agriculture as one of India’s traditional occupations and places it within the broader study of work, livelihood and career in Class 11 Home Science. Students explore how farming supports families and communities, the knowledge and skills it requires, and its links with food, natural resources and rural life. They also consider how technology, markets, education and changing work opportunities influence agricultural livelihoods, helping them view agriculture as both a cultural tradition and an evolving area of work.
