Indian agriculture is at crossroads owing to the agrarian distress which manifests itself in
various forms affecting farmers’ welfare. The present paper tracks the trend in wheat
producers’ income between 2006-07 and 2013-14 followed by suggesting framework for
doubling farmers’ income (DFI) by 2022. Convergence between science & technology,
institutions and policy with emphasis on potential drivers like productivity enhancement
through improved genotypes coupled with adoption of cost reduction technologies,
diversification, irrigation, price realisation under efficient markets, terms of trade, risk
adaptation, public-private partnership, skilling and land use governed by strong policies and
leadership at all levels will enable an environment for DFI .
