Explanation:

Himachal Pradesh describe by the ancients as “DevBhoomi” (Abode of the Gods), is situated in the heart of the Himalayas in the northern part of India. It has a geographical area of 55.67 lakh hectrares by professional surveys. Most of which is under forests, pastures and grazing lands. Less than ten per cent (5.6 lakh hectares) of the state’s net area is under cultivation. The state has a large range of mountains and valleys rising from 350 meters to 7000 meters above mean sea level. Its climate ranges from sub-tropical to sub-arctic cold with an annual rainfall of 350 millimeters to 3800 millimeters. Its temperatures vary from -25 C to 42 C. The state has snow fed parts. In addition, there are some natural lakes. The topography, soil, climate, rainfall and temperature provide the state with wide opportunities and potential for agriculture and horticulture.

Due to its hilly terrain, the economy of the state is predominantly mixed farming, agro-pastoral, silvi-pastoral and agro-horticultural. Most of the group based farming systems, engaging a majority of the farmers are found in the valleys of Yamuna, Satluj, Beas, Ravi, ChanderaBhaga and their tributaries. Agriculture accounts for over 30 per cent of the state’s net domestic product and provides employment to about 71 per cent of its residents. The annual growth rate of the state during 1999-2000 was 5.8 per cent against India’s 6.4 per cent. Earlier, during the Eighth Plan the annual growth rate of the state was 6.3 per cent. The state enjoys the special category status and thus gets special funds from the centre for its development activities.
