NAJMUS SAADAT , SUJIT DAS , KRISHNENDU GUPTA ,SHAKTIPADA MONDAL DOI : 10.9780/22307850, Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : The present research work makes an attempt to examine the ine the inter-district disparities in the levels of agricultural development based on eighteen selected variables in West Bengal. The entire work is
based on the secondary sources of data. The district has been taken as a smallest unit of
analysis. The statistical technique of composite index has been used to measure the level
of development and to find out the disparities. Wide disparities were observed in the level
of development among the different districts. The northern mountainous part and south
western high land were found to be most agriculturally backward. Most of the districts of
the state are found to be moderately developed. Particular strategies and techniques
should be develop and adopt for the backward region keeping in view the ecological
constraints of the region concerned for more sustainable agrarian development.
The economy of West Bengal is mainly agrarian.
