• During the period 2004-05 to 2007-08, the GDP for agriculture and allied sectors had increased from Rs. 5,65,426 crore to Rs. 6,55,080 crore, at constant 2004-05 prices; thereafter it stagnated at this level for two years (2008-09 to 2009-10).

• In 2009-10, agriculture and allied sectors accounted for 14.6 per cent of the GDP compared to 15.7 per cent in 2008-09 and 19.0 per cent in 2004-05.

• Agriculture-sector is expected to grow at 5.4 per cent as per the 2010-11 advance estimates of the CSO.

• Overall GDP has grown by an average of 8.62 per cent during 2004-05 to 2010-11, whereas agricultural sector GDP has increased by only 3.46 per cent during the same period.

• In terms of composition, out of a total share of 14.6 per cent of the GDP in 2009-10 for agriculture and allied sectors, agriculture alone accounted for 12.3 per cent to be followed by forestry and logging at 1.5 per cent and fisheries at 0.8 per cent.

• In 2009-10, despite experiencing the worst south-west monsoon since 1972 and subsequent significant fall in kharif foodgrain production, the growth marginally recovered to 0.4 per cent primarily due to a good rabi crop.

• The share of Gross Capital Formation (GCF) in agriculture and allied sector in total GCF has remained in the range of 6.6 to 8.2 per cent during 2004-05 to 2009-10.

• The GCF in agriculture and allied sectors as a proportion to the GDP in the sector increased to 16.03 per cent in 2007-08 and further to 19.67 per cent in 2008-09 (provisional) and to 20.30 per cent in 2009-10 (quick estimates [QE]).

• For four consecutive years from 2005-06 to 2008-09, foodgrains production registered a rising trend and touched a record level of 234.47 million tonnes in 2008-09. The production of foodgrains declined to 218.11 million tonnes during 2009-10 (final estimates) due to the long spells of drought in various parts of the country in 2009.

• As per the second advance estimates released by Ministry of Agriculture on 9.2.2011, production of foodgrains during 2010-11 is estimated at 232.07 million tonnes compared to 218.11 million tonnes last year. This is only marginally below the record production of 234.47 million tonnes of foodgrains in 2008-09. The country is likely to achieve record production of wheat (81.47 million tonnes), pulses (16.51 million tonnes) and cotton (33.93 million bales of 170 kg. each) this year.

• As per the second advance estimates, production of rice is going to be 94.01 million tonnes in 2010-11 i.e. 5.52 percent higher than the 2009-10 final estimates. 

•  As per the second advance estimates, production of wheat is going to be 81.47 million tonnes in 2010-11 i.e. 0.83 percent higher than the 2009-10 final estimates. 

•  As per the second advance estimates, production of foodgrains is going to be 232.07 million tonnes in 2010-11 i.e. 6.40 percent higher than the 2009-10 final estimates. 

• As per the second advance estimates, production of coarse cereals is going to be 40.08 million tonnes in 2010-11 i.e. 19.46 percent higher than the 2009-10 final estimates. 

•  As per the second advance estimates, production of pulses is going to be 16.51 million tonnes in 2010-11 i.e. 12.62 percent higher than the 2009-10 final estimates. 

• The livestock & fisheries sector contributed over 4.07 per cent to the total GDP during 2008-09 and about 29.7 per cent to the value of output from total agricultural and allied activities.

• In 2009-10, livestock & fisheries sector produced 112.5 million tonnes of milk, 59.8 billion eggs, 43.2 million kg wool, and 4.0 million tonnes of meat. The result of the 18th Livestock Census (2007), derived from village-level count, has placed the total livestock population at 529.7 million and poultry birds at 648.8 million.

• India ranks first in world milk production, increasing its production from 17 million tonnes in 1950-51 to about 112.5 million tonnes in 2009-10.

• The per capita availability of milk has also increased from 112 grams per day in 1968-69 to 263 gram per day in 2009-10. It is however still low compared to the world average of 279.4 grams/ day, as per FAOSTAT (Food and Agriculture Organization Statistical Database) 2009 data.

• India produces more than 59.8 billion eggs per year, with per capita availability of 51 eggs per annum. The poultry meat production is estimated to be 1.85 million tonnes in 2008-09.

• Fish production increased from 7.14 million tonnes in 2007-08 to 7.85 million tonnes in 2009-10. Fishing, aquaculture, and allied activities are reported to have provided livelihood to over 14 million persons in 2008-09, apart from being a major foreign exchange earner.

Migration

• Traditional rural-urban migration has seen a gradual increase, with its share in total migration rising from 16.5% to 21.1% between 1971 and 2001&&
• In India, 73 million people in rural areas have migrated from 1991–2001; of which 53 million have moved to other villages and 20 million to urban areas – a majority of them in search of work&&

Poverty and Human Development 

• As per the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Human Development Report 2009 (HDR 2009), the Human Development Index (HDI) for India in 2007 was 0.612 on the basis of which India is ranked 134 out of 182 countries of the world placing it at the same rank as in 2006$$$
• The value of HDI for India gradually increased from 0.427 in 1980 to 0.556 in 2000 and went up to 0.612 in 2007$$$
• At 36.8, India’s Gini index was more favourable than that of comparable countries like Brazil (55), Turkey (43.2), Thailand (42.5), China (41.5), Indonesia (39.4), Vietnam (37.8) and even the USA (40.8), Singapore (42.5), Hong Kong(43.4) and Portugal(38.5), which are otherwise ranked very high in human development$$$
• Life expectancy at birth in India was 63.4 years in 2007 as against 80.5 years in Norway, 81.4 years in Australia, 74.0 years in Srilanka and 72.9 years in China$$$
• Adult literacy rate (aged 15 and above) in 1999-2007 was 66.0 percent in India as against near 100 per cent in many of the developed nations, 93.3 per cent in China and 92.0 per cent in Indonesia. Combined gross enrolment ratio in education in 2007 was 61 per cent in India as against 99.3 per cent in Canada, 98.6 per cent in Norway, 78.0 per cent in Thailand and 76.4 per cent in Egypt$$$
• In terms of the Gender Development Index (GDI), with an index value of 0.594, India ranks 114 out of 155 countries$$$
• Agricultural labour households accounted for 41% of rural poor in 1993–94 as well as in 2004–05%&
• Among social groups, Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs), and backward castes accounted for 80% of the rural poor in 2004–05%&
• The number of poor in rural areas in the country as a whole has declined from 2613 lakhs in 1973 to 2209 lakhs in 2004–05%&
• The exact number of BPL households may vary according to the definition of poverty line one selects. In that case, it would be difficult to target the original BPL households under the new Food Security law. There are four different estimates for the number of BPL households: one by Prof. Arjun Sengupta (www.nceus.gov.in), another by Dr. NC Saxena (www.sccommissioners.org), World Bank estimates and the Planning Commission estimates%$.
• According to Prof. Arjun Sengupta who chaired the National Commission for Enterprises in the Unorganized Sector, 77% of the population of India lives below the poverty line. Dr. NC Saxena, a retired civil servant acting as a Commissioner appointed by the Supreme Court, feels that half the country’s population of 1.15 billion is below the poverty line, which he apparently defines as a monthly per capita income of Rs 700 in rural areas and Rs 1,000 in urban areas. While a Planning Commission estimate puts the number of below poverty line (BPL) families at 62.5 million, state governments estimate that this number is closer to 107 million. Some experts feel that availing the public with more number of BPL ration cards help the state-level politicians to win elections through populist means. The World Bank’s figure for the percentage of population below the poverty line in India is 42 per cent, based on 2005 data%$.
• According to the Economic Survey 2008-09, the Uniform Recall Period (URP) Consumption distribution data of National Sample Survey (NSS) 61st Round places the poverty ratio at 28.3 per cent in rural areas, 25.7 per cent in urban areas and 27.5 per cent for the country as a whole in 2004-05. The corresponding poverty ratios from the Mixed Recall Period (MRP) consumption distribution data are 21.8 per cent for rural areas, 21.7 per cent for urban areas and 21.8 per cent for India as a whole. While the former consumption data uses 30-day recall/reference period for all items of consumption, the latter uses 365-day recall/reference period for five infrequently purchased non-food items, namely, clothing, footwear, durable goods, education and institutional medical expenses and 30-day recall/reference period for remaining items. The percentage of poor in 2004-05 estimated from URP consumption distribution of NSS 61st Round of consumer expenditure data are comparable with the poverty estimates of 1993-94 (50th Round) which was 36 per cent for the country as a whole. The percentage of poor in 2004-05 estimated from MRP consumption distribution of NSS 61st Round of consumer expenditure data are roughly comparable with the poverty estimates of 1999-2000 (55th Round) which was 26.1 per cent for the country as a whole
