Volume : III, Issue : III, April - 2013 THE CROP PRODUCTIVITY AND MANAGEMENT OF INDIA FROM 1950-51 TO 2007-08 : A STUDY BORAGE VILAS KASHINATH Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : The production of crops in India has been increasing day by day since
independence. Before the colonization of India, the Indian agriculture was much
developed than modern advanced countries of the world. In those days the productivity
of land was high. But the policy of the British destroyed the village handicrafts and
cottage industries. However, in post-Independent era the production and
productivity of crops tends to increase gradually year by year from 1950-51 to 2007-08
due to the planning of the Indian government; and due to the adoption of new technology,
increasing facilities of irrigation, launching of high yield varieties of crops, credit and
marketing facilities, changing view of farmers from traditional to commercial. But the
increasing level is very slow as compared with other developed countries in the world. In
this paper an attempt is made to focus the real picture of the crop productivity and
management of India from 1950-51 to 2007-08. Besides this, some suggestions Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : BORAGE VILAS KASHINATH, (2013).
