Agricultural productivity in India: Under five year plans

India is the second largest producer of food in the world: more than 200 million tons of food grains, 150 million tonnes of fruits and vegetables, 91 million tonnes of milk, 1.6 million tonnes of poultry meat, 417 million livestock, and 6.05 million tonnes of fish and fish products. The Indian agriculture has made great strides over the years. The food grain production has increased more than fourfold-from 51 million tonnes in 1950–51 to 212 million tonnes during 2003–04 growing at an annual average rate of more than 2.4 percent per annum. India accounts for only about 2.4% of the world's geographical area and 4% of its water resources, but has to support about 17% of the world's human population and 15% of the livestock. Agriculture is an important sector of the Indian economy, accounting for 14% of the nation's GDP, about 11% of its exports, about half of the population still relies on agriculture as its principal source of income and it is a source of raw material for a large number of industries. The present paper examines the performance of Trends of Agriculture growth and production in India. And also The paper has shown the growth and production has significantly increased from during the last three decades and also highlight the performance of the Indian agriculture growth is also increased over the period of time the present paper mainly focused on the secondary sources with help of the statistical tools such as mean, standard deviation, covariance, CGR, regression methods has been used for study purpose. From the above evidence we can conclude that overall performance of the Indian agriculture growth and production has shown the significant change in the last three decades. It reveals that the agriculture major crop has increase over the period of time.
