India is one of the most population countries of the world. Indian agriculture under the climate change conditions is continuously support to feed the 1.42 billion populations because of largest agri-regions (20), different climates (15) and soil types (46 out of 60) of the world. The climate change is great challenge all over the world but in these situations, India is largest producer of many agricultural commodities as milk, tea, pulses, spices, jute, cashew and second major grower of cereals as rice, wheat and oilseeds, sugarcane, cotton furthermore, second in horticultural crops like fruits and vegetables and major producer of banana and mango. But the population is increasing at fast rate so counter it, there is need the rigid transformation of Indian agriculture in the era of climate change. In this article discussed the strategies or approaches for the transformation in Indian agriculture as suggested by different experts at scientific basis.
