Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar

Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University popularly known as HAU, is one of Asia's biggest agricultural universities, located at Hisar in the Indian state of Haryana. It is named after India's seventh Prime Minister, Chaudhary Charan Singh. It is a leader in agricultural research in India and contributed significantly to Green Revolution and White Revolution in India in the 1960s and 70s. It has a very large campus and has several research centres throughout the state. It won the Indian Council of Agricultural Research's Award for the Best Institute in 1997. HAU was initially a campus of Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana. After the formation of Haryana in 1966, it became an autonomous institution on February 2, 1970 through a Presidential Ordinance, later ratified as Haryana and Punjab Agricultural Universities Act, 1970, passed by the Lok Sabha on March 29, 1970. A. L. Fletcher, the first Vice-Chancellor of the university, was instrumental in its initial growth.

    Co-integration approach for estimation of supply response of major crops in Haryana
    (CCSHAU, 2011) Vikas; Manocha, Veena
    The present study is an attempt to estimate the acreage and yield response functions for major crops in Haryana within the framework of co integration and error correction model and to compare the short-run and long-run supply elasticities of major crops. The long-run acreage response to lagged price was positive and significant in the case of rice, rapeseed-mustard and sugarcane with elasticity values 0.19, 0.22 and 0.29, respectively. In case of other crops except bajra and gram, very low positive but non significant price elasticities have been observed. In the short-run, lagged price elasticities were found to be positive for all the crops. However, the positive significant values have been observed in case of rapeseed-mustard, sugarcane and bajra. The long-run acreage response to lagged year yield was found to be positive and significant in case of rice, wheat and cotton (Am.) with elasticity values 0.26, 0.18 and 0.29, respectively,. Irrigation elasticity has been observed to be positive for all the crops in the long-run, while it is positive for all the crops except gram and rapeseed-mustard in the short-run. However, only wheat and sugarcane are found to be positively and significantly responsive to irrigation in the long-run as well as short-run. The long- run yield response to price has been observed to be very low and non-significant in case of all the crops except wheat, rapeseed-mustard and sugarcane. The yield response to irrigation has been observed to be positive and significant in case of wheat, rapeseedmustard and cotton (Am.) only.
