| description | In the recent years India’s agricultural sector has experienced significant changes in
institutional and policy interventions and productivity at the national and sub-national
levels. But although overall production has increased growth has slowed down, inter-state
and intra-state disparities continue to remain very high and even widened in some cases.
Using Principal Component Analysis technique and constructing district-wise agricultural
development indices, this paper analyses the spatio-temporal variations in agricultural
development in Odisha , India for 3 years over the period 2001-02 to 2011-12, identifies the
underlying factors, examines inter-relationships and draws policy implications for
improving the agricultural situation. Increasing public investment in agricultural
infrastructure including irrigation, establishing appropriate farming systems , developing
suitable and affordable technology and crop varieties, augmenting credit delivery and
designing region and crop-specific plans and strategies are suggested for moderating
spatial inequalities and achieving a less unbalanced regional development in agriculture. |
