Answer 2

Explanation:

In 2015, Madhya Pradesh contributed over 8 million metric tonnes (MMT) of wheat to the

central procurement pool. This was the second highest procurement of wheat by any state that

year and even higher than that of Haryana, traditionally the second highest contributor after

Punjab. The event capped a remarkable period of eight years, which saw Madhya Pradesh

emerge as the state with the highest growth rate in agriculture. Long clubbed with the so-

called BIMARU group of poor northern, central and eastern states, MP successfully broke

ranks to set a scorching pace of growth, which has been unparalleled in the past quarter

century. Understanding the factors that helped to drive this growth and drawing lessons for

other states at similar levels of development is the main objective of this paper.

Madhya Pradesh spans over 30.8 million hectares of land and comprises around 6.0 per cent

of India’s population. The state is primarily an agricultural state, with almost 70 per cent of

its workforce engaged in agriculture, much above the all-India average of 55 per cent. Unlike

other states where the share of agriculture in GDP has been falling, MP has undergone a

reverse structural change after 2010-11. Between 2003-04 and 2010-11, the share of

agriculture in GDP declined from 29.8 per cent to 22.5 percent (2004-05 prices), which

reflected the national trend. However, after 2010-11, the share of agriculture in GDP has

increased from 22.5 to 30.0 per cent (2004-05 prices) in 2014-15.

Not only has the importance of the sector in the overall economy of MP increased but the

sector has also performed significantly better than other states in the country. The agricultural

GDP of Madhya Pradesh increased at 9.7 per cent per annum during 2005-06 to 2014-15,

surpassing even record holder Gujarat’s 7.7 per cent. The last five years have been even more

spectacular: agricultural GDP increased at 14.2 per cent per annum. Keeping this background

in mind, this paper has used secondary data published by the government to study the

composition, sources and drivers of agriculture growth in Madhya Pradesh and the lessons

that can be drawn for developing states. Earlier research by the World Bank (World Bank

Report, 2008) shows that higher agriculture growth holds the key to faster alleviation of

poverty. This is particularly so, as 82 per cent of poverty in Madhya Pradesh is rural.

Although MP has recorded a significant decline in poverty rates from 53.6 per cent in 2004-

05 to 35.7 per cent in 2011-12, there is still much to be done to improve the livelihood of the

rural population. Moreover, MP’s per capita income is low, standing at Rs 51,798 (FY14 at

current prices) as compared to the national average of Rs 74380. Although it is much better

than that of Bihar (Rs 31,199) and Uttar Pradesh (Rs 36,250), it remains way below top

performing states like Sikkim (Rs 1, 76,491), Maharashtra (Rs 1,14,392), Haryana (Rs

1,33,427) and Gujarat (Rs 1,06,831). Therefore, the study also makes policy suggestion to

bolster agriculture growth in MP.
