MEDC Digest - Cover_FOOD PROCESSING INDUSTRY Inner Pages.indd 1 27-Apr-19 12:13:30 PM Cdr. Dipak Naik President & CEO, Naik As many of you are aware, MEDC is one of the organizers of Agrovision, Environment Research a unique event held annually in Nagpur by the Agrovision Foundation Institute Ltd. (NERIL) under the leadership of Union Minister Mr. Nitin Gadkari. The event is supported by the government of Maharashtra, and it benefits from the Mr. Nandkishor Kagliwal regular and enthusiastic participation of the Chief Minister Mr. Devendra Chairman, Nath Group Fadnavis. This year, the 11th Agrovision will be held from November 22 to 25, and it will attempt to create a common platform for farmers, industry Printed, Published & Edited by and government and bring together stakeholders in the agricultural sector Ms. Ananya Prem Nath on in the hope of creating a better future for farmers. The aim of Agrovision behalf of Maharashtra Economic is to create a more knowledgeable and practical farmer, who understands Development Council (MEDC) what is likely to benefit him and acts accordingly. India’s agricultural and Printed at Onlooker Press, 16, Sassoon Dock, Colaba, community has been at the receiving end for too long, and this is our Mumbai - 400 005 Maharashtra. attempt to rectify that unfortunate state of affairs by providing the farmer and Published from Maharashtra suitable information and opportunity to better his future prospects. Economic Developement Council, Y. B. Chavan Centre, 3rd Floor, The current situation of agriculture in Maharashtra is challenging, and in Gen. J. Bhosale M a r g , Na r i m a n Central India, probably even more so. Even though the Vidarbha region is Po i n t , Mumbai - 400 021. blessed with lush forests, fertile black soil, water resources, and appropriate weather conditions favourable for agriculture, what is really needed is MEDC Economic Digest November 2019 3 educating farmers about better/smart farming. This includes the adoption of modern technology, implementing the right cropping patterns keeping in mind global warming and climate change, awareness of new avenues in agriculture, importance of allied agricultural businesses like dairy, food and fruit processing, goat farming, fisheries, poultry etc. Farmers also need to be educated on the forward and backward linkages of agriculture with the other sectors of the economy, particularly MSMEs. We are happy to say that all this is seriously attempted in Agrovision. MEDC believes in creating genuine initiatives, which provide an integrative framework and a platform to bring all stakeholders together. To that end, Agrovision is our serious attempt in the agricultural sector. We aim to bring farmers, the administration, NGOs, researchers and industry under a single umbrella to debate and deliberate on the all-round growth of the agricultural sector. Discussions should be free and frank and errors of the past should be courageously rectified without regard to their implications. Farmers should broaden the scope of their consultative activities to include their smaller brethren and informal workers in rural areas, in order to create conditions in favour of real growth. A broader outreach would MEDC Digest - Cover_FOOD PROCESSING INDUSTRY Inner Pages.indd 1 not only be useful27-Apr-19 12:13:30 in PM creating a counterweight to vested interests, but it would also reflect the changes transforming the agrarian economy on a real-time basis. This is an experiment we conduct in Agrovision. Apart from providing loans and interest subsidies, government schemes also have a provision to impart skill development training in fields related to agro-industries and allied services. The larger objective is to generate suitable employment opportunities for rural youth in agriculture and allied industries, covering all crops and all regions. From group farming to self- help groups, all segments of society have been considered under the new schemes. MEDC stands with the government every step of the way and will do its best to alleviate infrastructural bottlenecks impeding agricultural productivity and rural entrepreneurship, in an attempt to maximize the growth potential of our farming community. The current issue of the Digest analyses some contemporary issues pertaining to agriculture and allied sectors. We need to better understand how public policies can be further refined to enhance the smooth functioning of this important part of our economy. Ultimately, India’s socioeconomic recovery lies in thousands of small fixes. The agricultural sector is the most appropriate place to begin. 4 October 2019 MEDC Economic Digest From The President’s Desk 03 l MACRO MUSINGS l Agriculture and the Rural 07 Economy - Dr. Dhananjay Samant l GOVERNMENT l jeä^er³e DeVe megj#ee DeefYe³eeveebleie&le 09 ieUerleOeev³e Je lesuelee[ DeefYe³eeve - ke=À<eer efJeYeeie, cenejeä^ Meemeve ke=Àef<e ³eebef$ekeÀerkeÀjCe GheDeefYe³eeve 13 Vol.II No.3 November 2019 November No.3 Vol.II

    PREFACE The process of planned economic development in India began with the launching of the First Five Year Plan in 1951 and currently India is in the 12th Five Year Plan (2012-13 to 2016- 2017). The main objective of policy makers is to promote growth with social justice. During the Eleventh Plan period, the agricultural sector experienced a miniscule growth rate of 3.64 per cent per annum. Indian agriculture is presently at cross roads and one of the major challenges is to reverse deceleration in agricultural growth rates so as to successfully achieve a higher broad based growth. In view of the above, a special Additional Central Assistance Scheme -Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojna (RKVY) which is a State Plan scheme administered by the Union Ministry of Agriculture was conceived. The main purpose of the scheme is to supplement state specific strategies with a view to rejuvenate agriculture. The pattern of funding under this scheme is 100 percent Central grant. In order to avail of funds under RKVY, each district is entrusted with the task of preparing a comprehensive district agricultural plan. Accordingly, this plan was prepared for Pune district. The Plan revealed that the city has suitable infrastructure and conducive climate for high value agriculture. Floriculture is also coming up in a big way. Similarly dairy development and poultry have huge potential in the district. As the city is close to Mumbai and well connected by road, rail and air to other major cities there is a ready market available for consumption of agricultural goods, processed goods, dairy and poultry products.

    DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS INEQUALITY, INCOME DISTRIBUTION AND GROWTH IN MAHARASHTRA IN THE 2000s Neeraj Hatekar Swati Raju WORKING PAPER UDE 43/2/2013 FEBRUARY 2013 ISSN 2230-8334 DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS UNIVERSITY OF MUMBAI Vidyanagari, Mumbai 400 098 Documentation Sheet Title: Inequality, Income Distribution and Growth in Maharashtra in the 2000s Author: External Participation: Neeraj Hatekar ------ Swati Raju WP. No.: UDE 43/2/2013 Contents: 20 p, 7 T, 3 F, 15 R Date of Issue: February 2013 No. of Copies: 100 Abstract The paper analyses the inter-district inequality of per capita incomes in Maharashtra for the period 2001-2009 and finds that inter-district inequality rose for the period 2001-05 and subsequently declined. Though it has been rising, it is at a lower level than that observed for 2001-05. This has been accompanied by shifts in the relative ranking of different districts across the income distribution. Data does not point to the convergence of per capita incomes across districts. The historical composition of incomes, in particular the share of the tertiary sector in GDP, is an important predictor of divergence in district per capita incomes. Keywords: Inequality, Income Distribution, Convergence, Maharashtra JEL Code(s): O47 Inequality, Income Distribution and Growth in Maharashtra in the 2000s I Introduction Maharashtra’s economy has witnessed an annual average growth rate of 8.13% during the decade 2001-10. This is the third highest growth rate after Haryana and Gujarat which saw an annual average growth rate of 8.95% and 8.68% respectively among the non-special category States.
