The book entitled Rainfed Agriculture in India Research and Development Scenario is an attempt to highlight the importance of rainfed agriculture in India. Rainfed areas are the habitat of the ecologically and economically disadvantaged small holders landless and the poor. In any R&D activity to improve the lot of such a community in particular there cannot be an adhoc approach. This book assesses the earlier attempts made in the country and elsewhere. Then a study is taken up for a thorough understanding of the natural resources including the socio economic conditions of these areas. This is followed with a critical review of the various R&D efforts already put in place both within and outside the country. Later SWOT analysis was taken up to suggest improvements in various production systems. Finally the future R&D efforts needed have been highlighted. 508 pp.…

Though agriculture has now shrunk as a proportion of gross domestic product (GDP) to around 13 percent, it is a vital sector and provider of livelihood for 2/3rd of India s working population. Although Indian agriculture is way back compared to the levels in developed countries, some notable developments have occurred since Independence in 1947. Large areas which suffered from repeated failures of rainfall have received irrigational facilities and new crops have come to occupy a significant position in the country s production and trade. Problems of rural indebtedness and the exploitative practices of the village moneylenders are much less. While there have been farmers-friendly efforts such as those to promote institutional credit to rural areas, improved access to inputs, subsidies on fertilisers and electricity, minimum support prices etc. but these have not been fully successful in protecting the interest of the farmers in general, and small/marginal farmers in particular. Marginal and small farmers have borne the brunt of the adverse circumstances in agriculture. The spate of suicides by farmers in many areas is the most disconcerting manifestation of this distress. Accelerating the rate of growth of agricultural production must be seen as central to a more inclusive growth. (jacket).…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. In the state of Jammu and Kashmir, agriculture plays a very prominent role for development of economy with distinct geographical outlook of three agro climatic zones of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh wherein each zone having its own particular climatic character that describes its cropping pattern and productivity. The average land holding in the state is (0.67 ha) and majority of the farmers (78 per cent) in the state are marginal having less than 1ha land holding. Irrigation is the artificial application of water to the land or soil. The net area sown in the State during 2013-14 was 741 thousand hectares, whereas the gross area sown (total area sown under different crops) was 1160 thousand hectares and 41 per cent of the net sown area is irrigated by different sources and remaining area is rain fed. About 89 per cent of the net area irrigated is irrigated through canals while tanks, tubes wells and other means are also used. Fisheries and sericulture sectors occupy a very important place in the socio-economic development of the state. It has been recognized as a powerful income and employment source for a large section of economically backward population of the country. Annually about 1022 MT of cocoons are produced generating an income of about Rs. 2026.00 Lakhs from these silkworm rearers coupled with the annual employment generation to the tune of 3.5 Lac man days (3.0 Lac-farm and 0.50 Lac off-farm). Thus, agriculture development still provides a crucial foundation for growth in agricultural and non-agricultural sectors in view of its contribution towards labour employment. Paddy and fruits are the main crops of Kashmir, followed by maize, oilseeds, pulses, vegetables, fodders and wheat. In Jammu region wheat is the predominant crop followed by maize, paddy, pulses, oilseeds, fodder, vegetables and other crops while in Ladakh, barley is the major cereal crop followed by wheat. In this book, an attempt has been made to evaluate agricultural development in India and J&K.…

Indian agriculture was traditional and stagnant in every respect on the eve of Independence in 1947. It was characterized by feudal land relations and primitive technology, resulting in low productivity per hectare of land. Agricultural policy followed since Independence can be broadly classified into three phases. Phase one, immediately after Independence, witnessed several institutional changes through land reforms and initiation of major irrigation projects. The second phase, since the mid-1960s, was aimed at increasing agricultural productivity to attain self-sufficiency in food grains through technological revolution and Government support for credit, marketing, and extension services. This was followed by the current phase, since the late 1980s, aimed at making agriculture more market-oriented. Agricultural sector occupies a key position in the Indian economy. It provides employment to about 65 percent of the working population of India. Agriculture being a State subject, the bulk of public investment in agriculture takes place at the level of States and the Central Government supports the States as a catalyst. The Approach Paper to Twelfth Five Year Plan (2012-17) released by the Planning Commission in October 2011 expressed concern at the slow growth of agriculture and allied activities in recent years. The Approach Paper attributed current increase in food prices to below target growth of the agricultural sector and stressed the need to redouble efforts to achieve at least 4 percent average growth rate in the farm sector in the coming years. Though agriculture has now shrunk as a proportion of GDP to 13.9 percent, it is a vital sector and provider of livelihood for 2/3rd of India's working population. Unfortunately, Indian economy is witnessing loss of dynamism in the agriculture and allied sectors in recent years. The sector, as a whole, has showed poor performance in the recent years. Signs of agrarian distress are visible in some years. The spate of suicides by farmers in many areas is the most disconcerting manifestation of this distress. Marginal and small farmers have borne the brunt of the adverse circumstances in agriculture. The Government of India has launched the National Food Security Mission and the Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana to rejuvenate agriculture and improve farm income. Accelerating the growth rate of agricultural production is seen as central to a more inclusive growth. The present work traces developments in Indian agriculture during the post-Independence period. It explains the key reform measures undertaken for the modernization of agriculture. The book contains 26 chapters which provide a detailed description of the various aspects of agriculture in India. In addition, there are. …
