Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda

Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda has been established as a full-fledged State University, having unique honour of being the “First Agricultural University of Bundelkhand Region”. The University was notified vide Government Order No. 301/79-V-1-10-1 (Ka) 27-2009 Lucknow and established on 2nd March 2010 under Uttar Pradesh Agriculture University Act (Sanshodhan) 1958 Gazette-Adhiniyam 2010. Initially it was named as “Manyawar Shri Kanshiram Ji University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda”, which was changed as “Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda” vide Uttar Pradesh Agriculture University Act (Sanshodhan) Adhiniyam, 2014, No. 1528(2)/LXXIX-V-1-14-1(Ka)-13-2014 dated 4th December 2014. The University has been established for the development of the agriculture and allied sectors in the Uttar Pradesh on the whole and Bundelkhand region in particular. It is committed to serve the Bundelkhand region with trinity concept, i.e. complete integration of teaching, research and extension for the development of agriculture and allied sectors in order to ensure food security and enhance socio-economic status of inhabitants. State Government of Uttar Pradesh has assigned the University with the responsibilities of (a) human resource generation and development, (b) generation and perfection of technologies, and (c) their dissemination to the farmers, orchardists and dairy farmers in the Chitrakoot Dham and Jhansi divisions. The Chirtrkoot Dham Division consists of four districts, namely Banda, Chitrakoot (Karvi), Mahoba and Hamirpur whereas Jhansi Division consists of Jhansi, Lalitpur and Jalaun (Orai) districts.

    DYNAMICS IN AREA, PRODUCTION AND PRODUCTIVITY OF GRAM IN BUNDELKHAND REGION (U.P.)
    (BANDA UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE & TECHNOLOGY, BANDA-210 001, UTTAR PRADESH (INDIA), 2023-08-01) ANKIT KUMAR MAURYA; Rahul Kumar Rai
    The research study entitled “Dynamics in Area, Production, and Productivity of Gram in Bundelkhand Region (U.P.)” had aimed to study growth rate, instability, and decomposition analysis of gram as well as forecast the production of gram for the Bundelkhand region and also identify the gap between FHPs & MSPs of gram. During the last 20 years (2001-2021), the growth rate of area and production of gram were negative in all districts and also it was negative for Bundelkhand region. But in term of productivity, it has indicated a positive impact in almost all districts and for this region. During the study period, Gram was found as the highest instability in Jhansi (29.01), Mahoba (59.87), and Mahoba (43.97) while the least variability was recorded for the Banda (4.46), Hamirpur (38.65), and Lalitpur (26.13) in term of area, production, and productivity, respectively. By the decomposition analysis, it has been anticipated that area was one of the important factors in the overall development of gram production with a convincing and parallel to productivity contribution. The gap between FHP and MSP resulted that in most cases FHP is higher than MSP because higher demand than supplies does not allow the market prices to fall below MSP. In recent years, market prices ruled higher than MSP. For forecasting, specifically, the ARIMA time series model was utilized. Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) made forecasting of gram production in Bundelkhand region by using 21 yearly observations. This model went through a battery of diagnostic and investigative tests so as to explore and examine the efficacy of the model. The model ARIMA (1, 0, 0) had the lowest normalized value, so this model was chosen. A ten-year ahead production of gram has been predicted. According to observations, they indicate a declining trend in gram production. The present study showed negative growth in area, production and productivity of gram in the Bundelkhand region noticed because of shift in area from these crops to other competitive crops. Thus, there is a need to give more emphasis on concerted research efforts, technological aspects as well as policy aspects (extension services and more remunerative prices) and also suggest appropriate remedial measures for correcting this undesired trend so that increase in area, production, and productivity of gram.
