ThesisItem Open Access Agricultural development in belagavi district of karnataka state(Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Krishi Vidyapeeth, Parbhani, 2017-05-16) Swati Kini; Deshmukh, K.V.Agriculture plays a vital role in . India's economy. Over 58 per cent of the rural households depend on agriculture as their principal means of livelihood. Agriculture, along with fisheries and forestry, is one of the largest contributors to the Gross Domestic Product(GDP). India is the largest producer, consumer and exporter of spices and spice products. India ranks third in farm and agriculture outputs. Over the recent past, multiple factors have worked together to facilitate growth in the agriculture sector in India. Karnataka is one of the fastest growing states in India. The natural resources, policy incentives and infrastructure in the state favour investments in the IT, Biotechnology, Engineering, Electronics, Textiles, Agriculture. and Food-processing sectors. The state contributed 7.54 per cent to the Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) of India in 2015-16. Between 2004-05 and 2015-16, the GSDP of the state grew at a Compound Annual Growth rate (CAGR) of 13.93 per cent to US$ 156.23 billion and the net state domestic product (NSDP) grew at a CAGR of 14.19 per cent to US$ 142.9 billion. Belagavi is the commercial hub and divisional headquarters of North Kamataka, ranking second to Bangalore in the state in terms of overall exports (mainly related to the automotive industry). It is an important source of vegetables, fruits, meat, poultry, fish, mining production, and wood (due to heavy rainfall, rivers and the abundance of water). Belagavi devotes 48% of its land for cultivation; amongst this cereals and pulses occupying 42% and 6% of the land respectively. It is best known for its fruits & vegetable cultivation next only to Hassan and Kolar districts; Onion, Tomato, Potato, Chilly, Capsicum, Carrot, Mango, Sapota, Banana, Grapes & Papaya are the other major horticultural crops in the region. The district has got established trade centre for food grains, sugarcane, cotton, tobacco, oilseed and milk products. The area of the district is 13,415krn2 , which has been divided into ten blocks. The main economic activities of the district are sugar and jaggery cultivation and processing, milk production, vehicle construction, weaving, leather and tanning industries and foundries. Sericulture is gaining prominence in the district with nearly 481.9 hectares under Mulberry cultivation. There is also an Agri Export Zone for flowers in the district. Belagavi is the emerging hub for cold storage infrastructure augmenting the agriculture and allied industries here.58 Export oriented units, 22 Sugar industries and Raisin and Jaggery cluster in Chikkodi taluk further enhance the agro based industries. The study of agriculture development is very essential in the present days because of fast growth of population; agriculture is only source of food for living things. So we have to develop the agriculture system in the state, region or in the country. The agricultural development would be the aggregate performance of various crops with regard to their output per acre but the share of Crop land. The measurement of agricultural efficiency is necessary to understand whether maximum returns per unitOs area of land have been obtained in particular Physio-cultural environment with the application of human efforts at the existing levels of development. Agricultural development in a true sense denotes the quality of the agricultural systems of a region in terms of productivity, diversification and commercialization consists with a desired state of agrarian relations and ecological balance. For the present study Belagavi District of Kama taka State was purposively selected. To fulfill the objective of the study time series data for the period of time from 1998-99 to 2014-15 were obtained from secondary sources like Belagavi District at a Glance , www.indiastat.com, Directorate of Economics and Statistics, Bengaluru. The linear and compound growth rate of selected parameters were worked out and presented .The average area under forest and barren, uncultivable land were significant for entire working period. The average area under current fallow, other fallow, net area sown and gross cropped area were non-significant for overall period.Gross cropped area for district has been positive in period I in both linear and compound growth rate. In period III was stagnant by 0.28 and 0.31 respectively. The growth rate of area under maize cultivation had been significant at 1 per cent for period III. Wheat and sunflower remained to be significant during period I at 5% Area under cultivation of rice, bajra, tur, horse gram, green gram, total pulses, groundnut, nigerseed, soyabean,cotton were non-significant for overall period. Growth rate of production of different crops in Belagavi has been depicted in Table 4.16. Rice, jowar, bajra, wheat,tur, horse gram, ground nut, nigerseed, soyabean production remains non-significant during overall period.Production of maize remains significant at 1% during III period and green gram and cotton remain significant at 5% during II period respectively.Production of sunflower remains.Production of sunflower remains significant at 1 % during I period . Productivity of rice , bajra and cotton remained significant at 5% during period III. Jowar, total cereals, tur , sunflower and total food grains are significant at 1% for III Period and maize been significant at 5% during period !.Productivity of wheat, horse gram , green gram , groundnut , nigerseed and soyabean remained non significant during all the III periods. Tubewells and percentage of net area irrigated to net sown area were also significant at 5% and 1% during II period respectively. Area more more than once during III period at 5% remained significant.Canals, tanks and other sourses were non significant during all the three periods Nitrogen and potassium conswnption remains significant at 5 per cent during time period III . Phosphorous consumption remains non significant at all three time periods.
