The study investigates the trend and spatial distribution of the draught animal population in Madhya Pradesh, situated at lat. 21.6°N to 26.30°N and long. 74°90¢E to 82°48¢E. Draught animals dominated around 20% (3 million hectares) of the net sown area of Madhya Pradesh, with power availability of more than 0.37 kW/ha. A 1% increase in tractor density reduces the draught animals by 0.89%, and a 1% increase in percentage forest area increases the draught animals by more than 0.5%. The spherical form of the semivariogram model with an estimate of nugget, sill and range as 0, 500 and 1.6 respectively, was used in kriging. The neighbour search radius and the minimum number of neighbours were taken as 3° and 20 respectively.
