Agriculture which supports the growth of industries and some industries which are considered as agro-based industries, who depend on agriculture for raw materials like cotton for textile industry, tobacco for cigarette etc. The agriculture which supports the secondary as well as service sector, but still it only supports 35% of the national income. According to one survey, more than 58% of the Indians are still depend on agriculture in India for their livelihood. But one thing we should remember that, agriculture is having many reasons for its backwardness. The waste created by agriculture is also a major problem which is a major problem before the farmers. But if we use agriculture waste, as a resource, then surely it will be boon to, our farmers and also supports out economic system. According to one survey, more than 20%of the agricultural produce is destroyed by rats. If   we take the precautionary measures to preserve agricultural produce, and taking steps to convert agricultural waste into resource, then many problems relating to agriculture will be solved. In this paper, I want to discuss the issues relating to converting the agricultural waste into resource, which is useful for our reformers.
