Abstract
Indian agriculture today faces many challenges and it is further aggravated by the extremeweather variations.Majority of the farmers are small and marginal landowners who are resourcepoor. They aremost affected due to their low adaptive capacity,lack of technical knowledge and risk-taking ability. In view of the present perspective, the research paper traces the variousmeasures from the literature review which would increase the resilience and adaptivecapacity of the small land holders. It further provides insight to the stakeholders connected with agrarian communities in retaining thesmall and marginal farmers, especially young farmers in Agriculture
