An Evolution Of Agriculture Development In Rajasthan
Keywords:
Total Agriculture Production, Gross Cropped Area, Annual Seasonal RainfallAbstract
Food security is a major concern all over the world. Rajasthan is the largest state of India where food security is extremely essential since about 61 area of the state is desert so agriculture production is also affected by it. The paper is tried to examine consequence of many factors on agriculture during the year 1985-86 to 2015-16 for the grounds that agriculture production is positively related with food security. This paper deals with agriculture efficiency in Rajasthan which function many exogenous factors like rainfall, use of fertilizers, irrigation facilities, area of operational size holding, cropping intensity etc. This study based on secondary data of agriculture statistics of Rajasthan .The result of study based on multiple regression models that reveal that annual rainfall, fertilizer, irrigation, HYV seeds, area of operational size holding are positively correlated with the production. There is significance role of fertilizers, irrigated area, copping intensity & HYV seeds for enhance productivity.
