Abstract
India has made impressive strides on the agricultural front during the past three decades. Much of the credit for this success should go to the several million small farming families that form the backbone of Indian agriculture and Indian economy. Policy support, production strategies, public investment in infrastructure, research and extension for crop, livestock and fisheries have significantly helped in increasing the agricultural productivity, food production and its availability. The present paper examines the performance of Trends of Agriculture growth and production in India. Andalso The paper has shown the growth and production has significantly increased from during the last three decades and also highlight the performance of the Indian agriculture growth is also increased over the period of time thepresent paper mainly focused on the secondary sources with help of the statistical tools such as mean, standard deviation, covariance, CGR, regression methods has been used for study purpose. From the above evidence we can conclude that overall performance of the Indian agriculture growth and production has shown the significant change in the last three decades. It reveals that the agriculture major crop has increase over the period of time.
Introduction
India has made impressive strides on the agricultural front during the past three decades. Much of the credit for this success should go to the several million small farming families that form the backbone of Indian agriculture and Indian economy. Policy support, production strategies, public investment in infrastructure, research and extension for crop, livestock and fisheries have significantly helped in increasing the agricultural productivity, food production and its availability. Notwithstanding these achievements, producing additional food with limited land, and providing economic access to food at the household level for ensuring food security would continue to be a major challenge for the nation. India has experienced considerable changes in the crop mix, yield and production since the inception of the Green Revolution. The Green Revolution phase displayed a high yield growth per unit of input. The first post-Green Revolution phase (from late-1960s to mid-1980s) was marked by the continued growth in returns from land through the intensification in use of chemical inputs and machine labor. The second post Green Revolution phase (beginning...
