Paradoxically, however, it also enjoys the dubious distinction of a state having highest rural-urban disparity in standard of living of its population.^ The share of agriculture in the net state domestic product of Maharashtra declined steeply from 36% in 1961-62 to 18.7% in 1992-93. The comparable shares for Indian agriculture were 47% and 27%. Yet, in terms of the proportion of labour force engaged in agriculture which was 60% in 1991, Maharashtra's economy continues to be predominantly agrarian. Indeed, the share of State's rural labour force employed in agriculture (main workers only) was as high as 83 per cent even in 1991, nearly half of the agricultural workers being labourers. Thus, the crucial dependence of its rural labour force on agriculture is quite evident and is unlikely to diminish drastically in the near future. It is against this scenario, that importance of accelerated growth in Maharashtra's agriculture must be judged. Apart from the direct impact of agricultural growth on generation of rural employment and incomes its significant secondary linkages with the development of rural non-farm sectors are more crucial. Trade in agriculture's outputs and inputs and services required by it and processing of its products open up additional and more significant avenues for labour absorption. Maharashtra being an important producer of cotton, sugarcane, groundnut and quiet a few horticultural crops, such secondary linkages of agriculture assume added importance to its rural economy, more so now, in the context of new liberalised trade environment for farm products. That is why, careful assessment of agriculture's past performance and based on it, future prospects of growth is needed. The present study undertakes this exercise, focussing on the comparison between the early phase i.e., the years from 1967-68 to 1979-80, vis-a-vis the latter phase i.e., 1980-81 to 1992-93 of the post green revolution period. More specifically, our objectives are :- (i) To examine trends in and sources of growth in production of major crops and crop groups and changes in them over the two phases of the period under study both at the state and the district level. (ii) To investigate possible causes responsible for differential performance in growth in the two phases and thereby identify the constraints on 1 future growth. (iii) To study the degree of and trends in instability in crop output, analyse the sources of instability and identify the factors associated with changes in degree of instability over the two phases of the study period. (iv) To analyse the inter-district disparity in output growth and input concentration and further to examine inter-relationship between the output and input concentration for the two phases. (v) To identify technology and non-technology variables having significant association with productivity growth in agriculture in the two phases of the entire period with the help of regression analysis and comparison of the characteristics of selected districts with distinctly differential inter­ temporal patterns of growth performance. (vi) Finally, to comment on the prospects of growth and emerging constraints on growth in Maharashtra's crop sector. 1. Coverage Periods : The analysis undertaken in the present study has been restricted to the post green revolution period (henceforth GR period or the period under study) only, covering the years from 1967-68 to 1992-93 at the state level and from 1967-68 to 1990-91 at the district level. The entire period has been bifurcated into two periods or the two phases, to be referred to as the early and the latter phase/period or periods I and II. Period I covers the years from 1967-68 to 1979-80 and period II from 1980-81 to either 1992-93 or 1990-91. Bifurcation of the period at 1980-81 coincides with the optimal point of break in the time trend for Indian agriculture.^ As 1971-72, 1972-73, 1986-87 and 1991-92 were the worst drought years in Maharashtra state the alternative analysis have been attempted mainly at the state level by omitting these four years from the state series and the first three years from the district level series for output instability analysis.

    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.
