Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Agriculture and allied sector forms the bedrock of Indian economy as it engages more
than 50% of the workforce and contributes about 17% to the country’s Gross Value
Added (GVA). The developments in this sector are keenly watched by the policy makers,
business, academia and other stakeholders. The flagship publication of Directorate of
Economics & Statistics, namely ‘Agricultural Statistics at a Glance’ is one of the most
reliable sources of information to gauge the performance of agriculture and allied
sector in India. This publication provides the exhaustive and updated database on
various facets of Indian agriculture, including crop production and productivity
across States, growth and investment in agriculture, cost of production, minimum
support prices, terms of trade, land-use statistics, agricultural inputs, rainfall, etc.
It gives me immense pleasure to see that the Directorate of Economics & Statistics
has continuously endeavored to increase the relevance of this publication by adding
information on emerging areas of concern and relevance for the agriculture sector.
This issue of the publication has been enriched with the results of latest Agriculture
Census 2015-16 (Phase-I), Back Series data of National Accounts Statistics with
Base Year 2011-12, and updated information on major recent initiatives by the
Government, viz., coverage under Soil Health Card, Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima
Yojana (PMFBY), Micro Irrigation, Cold Chain infrastructure, etc.
