The main aim of the proposed study is to assemble district level evidence for a broader assessment of development and growth in Indian agriculture for the latest period 2001/2-2003/4, the period for which the latest district level data is available.

A broad overview of emerging trends and tendencies in wake of the recent developments following the processes of liberalization and globalization of Indian economy since early 1990s, expected to equip us in better understanding of the emerging district level spatial pattern and dynamics in the Indian agriculture.
