Synopsis

Measurement of agricultural development is complex phenomena, which is dependent on various factors. These factors are co-related with each other. Hence, all factors may be influenced due to change in any one factor. Composite index based on all selected agricultural and non-agricultural indicators is a pure number which is free from measuring unit. It gives unique figure which represents all selected indicators like arithmetic mean, one single figure represents entire data. The methodology suggested by Narian in (2007) of construction of composite index was used in this book. This is superior methodology as compare to methodology suggested by Central Statistical Organization of India. Researcher can measure agricultural growth on the basis of "AREA(A)", "PRODUCTION(P)", "PRODUCTIVITY(Y)", independently as well as integrated growth base on Area+Production+Productivity, simultaneously. Development is next step of growth. Agricultural development was measured based on agricultural+ non-agricultural indicators as non-agricultural indicators is having significant contribution in agricultural development.
