1. What is the bigger picture for this study? (max 500 words)
Here, you need to explain what the context of the study is, why anyone reading about it
would care that the research is done/funded, and what we already broadly know about the
problem. Include both general and then specific knowledge about the problem.
Increasing use of pesticides in field of agriculture is required due to increasing
population and demand of the high quality food from the agriculture. Farming and agriculture
is the most important field supporting the more than 50% economy of the country. This
research proposal is aimed to research in identification of the “impact of pesticides uses in
agriculture of India and its impact on the health of human.”
This study will analyse the impact of the pesticides over the health of human, in direct
and indirect manner. Since establishment of human live on the earth, first activity of human
was to search food and satisfy the hunger. After development of human civilisation, man
started growing crops with aim to satisfy the hunger and to sell these to earn the money. India
is a farming country, but it is also rich in vegetation. Maximum population in past was
depending for the harvesting and cultivation of crops and other agricultural development
activities. Climate of India is very dynamic, sometimes it has high rain and sometimes there
is draught affecting the development of challenges in the agriculture.
Use of pesticides in the crop cultivation is aimed to manage safety and security of the
crop from the insects and other harmful aspects. Use of pesticides affect the quality of crop,
soil, water and infect it affects the human who grow the crop and human who sell and
purchase the same for consumption.
Agricultural development endures to continue the most significant aspect of concern of
Indian planning and policy. In the procedure of expansion of agricultural science, pesticides
have developed as an important instrument as a vegetal security negotiator for increasing

food manufacture. Additional, it plays an important part by protection from many terrible
infections. However, introduction to pesticides both for the occupation and for the
environment sources a range of human health complications. It has been detected that the
pesticides acquaintances are progressively related to immune destruction, hormone
disturbance, weakened brainpower, generative irregularities and tumour or many type of lung
and skin cancer. A vast preponderance of the populace in India is involved in farming and is
then open to the insecticides used in process of agriculture. Though Indian regular ingestion
of pesticide is faraway lesser than many other established economies, the issues of pesticide
deposit is very high in India. Pesticide dregs in numerous crops have also affected the trade
of agricultural merchandises in the last few years in many countries. In this situation, proper
submission technologies, guideline of pesticide use, pesticide safety, and combined pest
supervision are some of the important policies for reducing human contact to insecticides.
There is a shortage of trainings interrelated to these problems in India. Hence, the stab of this
research proposal is to review the expertise of submission of pesticides in India, impact of
these Pesticides on the health of human and find some steps useful to commend future
policies for the balanced use of pesticides and reducing the issues related to wellbeing of
human and environment.

2. What is not known about this problem? (max 350 words)
In this section you should move on from what was written above, to add some clear examples
of what we don’t know about this problem, and what the research gaps are. This should be
bringing us closer to the questions that you have decided to answer in the proposal.
Majority in India Presently is the chief maker of pesticides in Asia and positions twelfth in
the international market of selling and using for pesticides. This use of pesticides at high level
and its negative impacts are not accepted or understand in the users. Use of pesticides affects
the plant and users as well, unawareness and lack of technical understanding in the users
about the amount of used pesticides, and impact of using this on the health and environment.
Research laboratory discoveries specify that the atmosphere is highly poisoned as there are
many poisonous metals and deposits originate in the soil, water, humans, animal and plants.
The insecticide elements also enter into agricultural goods. Research laboratory grades also
disclose that pesticide dregs present in green leafy vegetables generate health complaints like
neural tube defect (NTD) among baby children. These discoveries allow us to verify the fact
that insecticide deposits are accountable for producing environmental problems and health
disarrays. Continuous, undiscriminating and no judicial use of pesticides donate to useless
agricultural production. Exposing of pesticides in the water and animal leads the issue as it
contain harmful particles that affect the long –term dieses in the users. Children, pregnant
females and old age person re majorly affected due to these in toxic particles. Human (breast)
milk and cow milk are many times found with pesticide residues and many other human
bodies grieve from illnesses like epilepsy, skin diseases, and intolerable sorrow due to
pesticide use, some of the village dweller devoted suicides. Thus pesticide usage takes a
substantial peal on environment and health and hereafter there is a need for another model for
artificial inputs.

3. Research questions (max 150 words)
Clearly link your research question(s) into the section above (gap), and then carefully spell
out the question(s) in order of importance/logic below.
The proposed research paper and study is to analyse and examine impact of pesticides
use in agriculture in India over the health of human and importance of teaching and training
to implement the uses of pesticides on the crop. The project will answer the following
question in specific way.
How current market of pesticides making guidelines to the uses over the agriculture?
What are the government policies and strategies to limit the use and to prevent the
human and environment from harm?
What is essential to aware the user about harmful impact of pesticide in agriculture?
4. What is the contribution of your study to policy, practice or knowledge? (max 200
words)
Here, outline why your study will add value to policy, practice and/or knowledge and
therefore why it should be approved/funded. Be specific where possible – avoid general
statements and ‘feel good’ text.
This research paper will civer to anayse the impoact of the suse of prestiied over the
health of hua=man and will identify the esatial recomandationa available to the user to limit
the use to control the harmfull disease.
Use of pesticides affects the fertility of soil and health of the human interacting with the
agriculture products. This soil by flowing in water affects the water quality and many in toxic

Page 6 of 13
elements and particles affecting the health in much serious issues.
This study aims to find the reason making the use familiar and lack of polices making
the situation worse for the production. Agriculture is the important source of income for the
major population hence it is essential for them to use the pesticides but if they are unaware
about has effective use and limit of using this leads the situation towards worse.
This report will make effective recommendations to the users to implement the newly
bio-composting pesticides to impact the quality of food and Agriculture product by
minimising the impact of toxic elements.
5. Proposed methodology (max 300 words)
The methodology section should clearly link to the research question(s) that you have
proposed, and logically suggest that you will be able to answer them as a consequence.
Outline some understanding of the methodology—do not use simple or basic language here.
Convince us that you know this methodology well.
This investigation will collect all information through secondary data collection as
literature review. Bulk form of facts will be on qualitative technique to answer subsequent
investigation questions. For outline or project training to understand impact of pesticide uses
in the agriculture affecting the human health. I will use data from the Indian agriculture and
development websites and many organisations working to limit the uses of pesticides in the
field of agriculture. Literature reviews, practice papers, news articles and other authentic
source of data collection is used.
To identify the original data about the impact of these over the health this report will
collect current system identification, technologies to solve the issues, but importantly I will
focus the finding from the historical records and health statics as well as literature reviews

published by the agriculture and development colleges, and in articles presented in Asian-
Australian journals.
Nest emphasis will be over the health facilities availability to the people infect due to
pesticides and many responsible resources available to find the qualitative data.

6. Study limitations and challenges (max 100 words)
Outline some thoughts about what the limitations and challenges for this research might be.
Make sure to plan for problems along the way, and explain how you might deal with them is
encountered.
This research is aimed to discuss a very important issues related to the major economic
supporting field of India. Pesticides are often considered a quick, easy and reliable source but
awaking the uses of these in limit to the user are very critical. This paper will use effective
methodologies and literature reviews to make the research easy, but many challenges
potential to arise in the research is related to apply the primary date application to gain the
qualitative information and data for analysis of green revolution impact over the agriculture.

Green revolution affected the market and many changes were accepted by the user in
chemical pesticides, but still it is the first priority of farmers and to find this reason of uses is
very challenging for the research.
