agricultural regionalisation in assam and kerela
A study on agricultural regionalization , credit allocation and urban rural disparity in Assam And Kerela.
ABSTRACT
This report deals with the three aspects ,namely , the agricultural regionalization ,credit allocation mechanism and the rural-urban disparities within the two states of assam and kerela. Both the states are predominantly agrarian with almost similar rainfall patterns and topography .Being agrarian in nature agricultural regionalization as well as the credit allocation mechanism play a pivotal role in it. If agriculture stagnates, it will act as a break on industrial expansion and halt real growth. . But it is obvious that there is hardly any possibility of substantial increase in the area of cultivation Therefore, intensive cultivation and strong credit allocation system that will inturn help the farmers to get good seeds ,farm equipments appears to be the only way to boost agriculture Both the states have the same staple crop rice but the variety do vary due to temperature and the rainfall patter in the respective states. Kerala being termed as the ideal state has been growing at the rate of 6.98% whereas Assam which is considered as an underdeveloped state its economy grew only by 3.3% as compared to the 6% growth rate by india . there are various factors responsible for it. In this report we aim to look at the various agricultural issues and disparity .However we would suggest some key measures/policy prescriptions that need to be taken by the state to more equitable distribution of resources within the regions and sectors of the state.
Overview of agriculture in Assam
Agriculture in Assam exhibits most of the characteristics of underdeveloped/backward agriculture, namely, a high dependence on agriculture for livelihood, widespread practice of traditional farming techniques and correspondingly low usage of modern farm inputs, low levels and low growth in productivity and incomes in the sector, widespread prevalence of
