Answer
Irrigation and marketing facilities enhance agricultural productivity, income, and employment, benefiting both farmers and the overall economy. Irrigation facilities allow farmers to cultivate crops throughout the year, reducing dependence on rainfall. With consistent water supply, farmers can grow multiple crops, leading to higher yields and increased income. Similarly, marketing facilities enable farmers to sell their produce efficiently. Better access to markets means higher/ fair prices for their crops, directly impacting income.
