MICRO LEVEL STUDY OF LONG TERM GROWTH RATE AND SHORT TERMGROTH RATE OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITY IN MADHYA PRADESH (YEAR 1970-71 TO YEAR 2003-2004)

DR. MUKESH MISHRA

Abstract

To meet out the increasing demand of the growing population it is an urgent need to develop our agricultural resources. There are two ways to increase the production from agriculture: (i) horizontal expansion in the agriculture, and (ii) the intensification. There is a remote possibility of horizontal expansion in the state; therefore intensification in the agriculture is now only alternative to increase the production. Several efforts have been made out to raise the per unit the productivity and overall production from agriculture in the state during last five decades. The state has recorded a significant progress both in the productivity and production. Madhya Pradesh was one of the backward states of the country in terms of the agricultural production before 1957, and there was an acute shortage of food for the people (Mishra, 1989). After 1960, this state has achieved a sufficient progress in the production of food grains, oilseeds, vegetables and fruits, and therefore the state has become one of the surplus producers of the country. But, in recent decade water has became one of the major deciding factors for this improvement. There is a scarcity of water in the state and it has direct impact on the use of agricultural inputs and indirect impact on the production. (Mishra, R. P. 1989).
