This open access book provides an evidence-based roadmap for revitalising Indian agriculture while ensuring that the growth process is efficient, inclusive, and sustainable, and results in sustained growth of farmers’ incomes. The book, instead of looking for global best practices and evaluating them to assess the possibility of replicating these domestically, looks inward at the best practices and experiences within Indian states, to answer questions such as -- how the agricultural growth process can be speeded up and made more inclusive, and financially viable; are there any best practices that can be studied and replicated to bring about faster growth in agriculture; does the prior hypothesis that rapid agricultural growth can alleviate poverty faster, reduce malnutrition, and augment farmers’ incomes stand? To answer these questions, the book follows four broad threads -- i) Linkage between agricultural performance, poverty and malnutrition; ii) Analysing the historical growth performance of agricultural sector in selected Indian states; iii) Will higher agricultural GDP necessarily result in higher incomes for farmers; iv) Analysing the current agricultural policy environment to evaluate its efficiency and efficacy, and consolidate all analysis to create a roadmap. These are discussed in 12 chapters, which provide a building block for the concluding chapter that presents a roadmap for revitalising Indian agriculture while ensuring growth in farmers’ incomes.
This open access book examines the interactions between India’s economic development, agricultural production, and nutrition through the lens of a “Food Systems Approach (FSA).” The Indian growth story is a paradoxical one. Despite economic progress over the past two decades, regional inequality, food insecurity and malnutrition problems persist. Simultaneously, recent trends in obesity along with micro-nutrient deficiency portend to a future public health crisis. This book explores various challenges and opportunities to achieve a nutrition-secure future through diversified production systems, improved health and hygiene environment and greater individual capability to access a balanced diet contributing to an increase in overall productivity. The authors bring together the latest data and scientific evidence from the country to map out the current state of food systems and nutrition outcomes. They place India within the context of other developing country experiences and highlight India’s status as an outlier in terms of the persistence of high levels of stunting while following global trends in obesity. This book discusses the policy and institutional interventions needed for promoting a nutrition-sensitive food system and the multi-sectoral strategies needed for simultaneously addressing the triple burden of malnutrition in India.

The Present Book Offers A Comprehensive And Coherent Account With Evaluation Of The Impact Of Irrigation On Agricultural Growth In Sharda Sahayak Command Area. Here, The Main Thrust Is On Irrigation As A Key Factor For Agricultural Development Of The Area, Which Ultimately Leads To Increase In Yield Per Unit Land. Inefficient Management Of Irrigation System Emanating From Lack Of Coordination, Failure Of Irrigation Department In The Provision Of Proper Distribution System, Drainage Facilities And Appropriate Steps For Reduction Of Seepage Losses, Was Realized By The Government During The Third Plan Period. Consequently, A Planned Programme Of Area Development Through A Unified Multi-Disciplinary Organization Was Thought Of. This Concept Of Area Development Necessitated The Creation Of Command Area Development Projects In The Country. Sharda Sahayak Command Area Development Project Was Established In 1973-74. The Main Objectives Of The Study Were Set To Examine The Definite And Positive Impact Of The Project, To Boost Agricultural Production And To Suggest Effective Remedial Measures. To Achieve These Objectives, The Study Aims Particularly At Making An Assessment Of The Following Core Functions Of The Project: (A) Integrated Water Management, (B) Farm Development Works, And (C) Agricultural Inputs And Extension Services. This Book Will Serve As A Suitable And Useful Text For Cad Workers, Planners, Economists, Agricultural Scientists, Policy Makers, Rural Development Planners And Researchers. The Book Is Also Likely To Be Of Great Interest To All Those Interested In Project Analysis Whether As Administrative Change-Agents, Academic Theory Builders Or As Field Researchers.
