Food crisis, crude shock drive youths to agriculture

June 17, 2008

Urbanisation will change India's landscape. That is what all the pundits have been predicting since the dawn of reforms in the country.

But, then the world doesn't follow predictions. It has its own ways of turning things upside down.

Till recently you must have heard about educated people rushing to the metros to look for jobs and make a career.

Take the case of Kerala, a place where educated unemployed youths are easily available. Till now they used to hunt for jobs in foreign shores and in the metros like Mumbai, Delhi and Kolkata.

They never bothered about agriculture after their graduation.
