A-19 A - ii ANNEX-A NATIONAL AND STATE SOCIO-ECONOMIC BACKGROUND A-1 National Policy A-1.1 Vision 2020 According to the Report of the Committee on Vision 2020, the total population will exceed 1.3 billion in 2020, and the demand for principle foods at that time is projected to be 119 million tons for rice, 92 million tons for wheat, 15.6 million tons for coarse cereals, 19.5 million tons for pulses and 166 million tons for milk. Assuming the moderate growth rate of production at the same rates as during the 1990s, India will be able to meet these projected demands for rice, wheat and milk, although there would be shortage supplies of 2.6 million tons for coarse cereals and 3.5 million tons of pulses. If the high growth rate of production like the 1980s is realized, India will also be also able to meet the future demand for feed grains which will grow significantly as milk consumption is likely to increase at a high rate. In this regard, India needs to sustain an agricultural growth rate of 4.0% to 4.5% in order to reduce food insecurity and poverty. With keeping this growth rate, agricultural development could more rapidly diversify into horticulture, fishery, dairying, animal husbandry and other areas. It would also spur the growth of agro-processing industries in rural areas. Such an achievement is well within reach, provided there is the requisite commitment to: a) raising crop productivity by dissemination of advanced technologies; b) increasing investment in irrigation, research and training; c) water harvesting; and d) improved access to credit. A-1.2 Eleventh Five Year Plan In India, the agriculture sector still provides livelihood to nearly 60% of people and remains vital for food security. To ensure a better life for women and men engaged in agriculture, it was necessary to double the growth rate of 1.7% achieved in the Tenth Five Year Plan (2002/03-2006/07) and put agriculture on a growth path of 4.1% based on the proposed growth rates for sub-sectors of agriculture as shown in Table A-1.1.

  • Chapter 10 Agricultural Development, Growth and Poverty in India's
    Chapter 10 Agricultural Development, Growth and Poverty in India’s Mountain Region RAMESH CHAND Principal Scientist National Centre for Agricultural Economics and Policy Research ICAR, New Delhi, India 10.1 Introduction India can be classified into five primary or major natural regions on the basis of topographical factors These are: i) the Himalayas and Associated Hills; ii) the Northern Plains; iii) the Peninsular Plateaus and Hills; iv) the East Coast Plains, and v) the West Coast Plains (Alagh 1990). Out of these five regions, the hill areas of the country constitute 21% of the total geographical area and 9% of the total population of the country. The hill areas offer a basic life support system and natural resources. Besides those living in this region, a large part of the population in the plains is dependent on hill resources, especially those of the Himalayan region, and on their management. Most of the perennial rivers of the country originate and have their watersheds in the Himalayas. These rivers are a lifeline of agriculture in the plains, and any adverse change in the Himalayan ecology directly affects flows in these rivers For instance, deforestation in the Himalayas results in reduction in water discharge from the watersheds and increase in soil erosion, leading to siltation of rivers which raises river beds, causes frequent floods in the plains, and reduces the lifespans of multipurpose reservoirs The indirect effects are innumerable. The hill and mountainous areas of the Himalayan region are ecologically fragile and generally underdeveloped. Development of these regions cannot be ignored because underdevelopment and poverty are serious causes of ecological degradation in the hills.
