Indian agriculture is essentially monsoon- and market-dependent, and suffers frequent distresses posing threat to the welfare of farmers as well as interest in farming. Declining farm productivity and income have serious implications on rural prosperity and overall economy. Hence, increasing the real farm income, i.e. nominal (actual) income adjusted to inflation has become a priority for the state and policy planners.Full Text

Prioritizing and targeting less developed regions is one of the multi-pronged strategies for doubling farmers’ income (DFI) in India. Using an indicator approach, the present study assessed and mapped agro-ecological sub-regions (AESRs) based on ten indicators representing production, infrastructure, information, marketing and income of the farmers. On the basis of the composite index of agriculture development, AESR 9.1 and AESR 1.1 were found to be the most and the least developed regions respectively. Further, the potential districts for each of the less-developed AESRs have been identified for greater prudency in planning. The study concludes that for achieving the target of DFI within the stipulated time-frame, it is imperative to mainstream AESR-based planning in technological development and dissemination. The evidences revealed large and equitable response of the efforts targeted towards less-developed regions.Keywords
