India must focus more on its agricultural sector in order to sustain long-term economic growth, a leading industrialist has said.
Bharti Group boss Sunil Bharti Mittal called for "serious intervention".
He said the government, private sector and foreign investors all needed to play their part if they wanted to see India's economy grow at the same rate.
"Without agriculture, India cannot move forward," said Mr Mittal in an exclusive interview with the BBC.
