1 Agriculture and Allied Activities 121 SECTION-3: AGRICULTURE AND ALLIED ACTIVITIES The agriculture situation in India has been presented with the help of a number of Tables highlighting India s share in World Agriculture, Land Use, Inputs, Crop Production, Crop Insurance, Livestock, Storage, Marketing, Exports, Wasteland Development and Afforestation. 3.1: Data on the geographical area, arable land, area under irrigation, crop production and livestock details and use of modern inputs in agriculture are incorporated for both India and the World for the year (a), (b) & (c): The component-wise budget estimates under broad Agricultural Sector are included for the years to Plan-wise share of public sector outlays and expenditure for to are presented. 3.3: Statistics on land use classification in terms of fallow land, net area sown, irrigated area, etc., are given for the years , , , , , , , to : Selected indicators of land use for some years during to are presented. 3.5: Distribution of operational holdings and area operated for all Social Groups for and are given. Source of data is the quinquennial Census of Agriculture. An Operational Holding is defined in Agricultural Census as: All land which is used wholly or partly for agriculture production and is operated as one technical unit by one person alone or with others, without regard to the title, size or location. The holdings are classified into five major groups according to size viz., marginal (below one hectare), small (between 1-2 hectares), semi-medium (2-4 hectares), medium (4-10 hectares) and large (10 hectares and above). 3.6 (a & b): The number of operational holdings across five farm size groups in respect of each State and UT for the years and is indicated. 3.7 (a & b): Size of area operated according to landholding size groups in respect of each State and UT are presented for the years and (a & b): Average size of operational holdings by major farm size groups in respect of each State and UT are presented for the years and : The extents of rainfed area for States during are given. 3.10: This Table contains data on Ceiling on Landholdings. 3.11: The estimates of irrigation potential created under Accelerated Irrigation Benefit Programme (AIBP) to are presented. 3.12: Data on the net area irrigated according to source in respect of each State and UT during are included. 3.13: State-wise coverage of irrigated area under principal crops during is shown. 3.14: The extent of irrigated area both in absolute and percentage terms for different crops for some selected periods i,e , , , , to are presented. 3.15: This Table shows gross cropped area across different crops during and : The quantum of breeder and foundation seeds produced and also the seeds distributed during to are presented (a to d): Average gross cropped area, gross area under crop, harvested value and quantity produced for agricultural households reporting cultivation as major for selected crops are given in these Tables.

3 Agriculture and Allied Activities 123 Highlights l l l l l l l l India s advantage in world agriculture is evident from its share in production of pulses, tea, sugar and jute. While it accounts for a high proportion of global livestock, its share in otal milk production was highest at 18.7 per cent. The public sector outlays in agriculture during the last decade indicate increased emphasis on crop husbandry, animal husbandry and strengthening of cooperatives. The declining trends in public sector outlays on Food, Storage and Warehousing and Agriculture Research and Education are disturbing unless the private sector enters into these areas on a large scale to bridge the demand supply gap. The area under forest cover expanded considerably until and thereafter stabilised but it is still well below the desired level of one-third of the geographical area. The fallow land which is about 25 million hectares provides an opportunity for promotion of millets and crops for enhancing productivity of ruminants. The near stabilisation of net sown area around 141 million hectares suggests that future growth of agriculture depends upon the cropping intensity and productivity of major crops. Nearly 45 per cent of the gross cropped area has been receiving irrigation and lack of assured irrigation is one of the determinants of low productivity of crops. One of the measures undertaken towards achieving this goal is utilisation of the irrigation potential created which helps in realisation of benefits from the investments made. The Indian agriculture is small-holder agriculture as 85 per cent of the holdings are small in size and their share in total operated area is about 44 per cent. Besides enhancing productivity of these tiny holdings, occupational diversification is essential for sustainable growth of the rural economy. Distribution of surplus land (above the ceiling limit) to the landless poor is one of the important programmes for reducing socio-economic inequality. The gap between area declared surplus and land distributed brings out clearly the lack of total commitment by the State in implementing the programme. Distribution of government wastelands is another related measure. To achieve the four per cent growth rate in agriculture, provision of quality and adequate quantum of inputs such as quality seeds, fertilisers and electricity have been the key concerns of the policy. However, the progress is a way behind the requirement. With over 86 million hectares of the area under agriculture rainfed, the crop insurance is one of alternatives to minimise the risks. To achieve high growth of agriculture as well as food security, price support policies coupled with market regulation, storage, procurement and distribution are envisaged. However, the benefits of procurement could not be reaped to the desired extent by backward and poverty stricken States such as Bihar, due to lack of infrastructure and weak institutions. The per capita net availability of foodgrains which is a major source of nutrients has been declining though fluctuating in a narrow band after attaining the peak level in Given the inequalities in the distribution of grains, these trends would explain the prevalence of high levels of malnutrition among low income groups. Perhaps, they also indicate the shifts in consumption basket from foodgrains to nonfoodgrain food items (milk, eggs and fish, etc.).

4 124 Rural Development Statistics l l There has been remarkable progress in the production of milk since It is growing at the rate of 2.46 million tonnes per annum in 90s and further increased to 3.58 million tonnes per year in the last decade ( to ). The share of Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat and Maharashtra in total production was about 54.0 per cent in The output of eggs has gone up significantly and the rate of increase per year was 1.5 billion eggs in 90s and 2.64 billion eggs in the last decade. States of Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Haryana, Punjab, Maharashtra and West Bengal are the major producers. Five States viz., Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh together account for nearly 59 per cent of the estimated net irrigated area of about 66.1 million hectares in Nearly three-fifths of the net irrigated area is being served by tubewells and other wells. Tanks as a source of irrigation are mainly found in Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. In Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, about 98.7, 92.5 and 77.2 per cent of areas under total foodgrains was under irrigation in
