Abstract :

 This Study Focuses On “Impact Of Economic Reforms In Rice Production In Uttar Pradesh”. The general objective of this study is to identify and measure the relative magnitude of effect of the economic factors affecting Thai rice producer planting decisions using an econometric model of the area planted to rice in Uttar Pradesh, is the fourth largest state in country. State covers an area of about 246413 km2 and possesses varied topographic features. State has 19.95 crores, population in 2011 census its 16.49% of the country population with 225 lakhs farm families. Agriculture is the most important in the state because about 80% of its population resides in rural areas and 75% of the total workers are involved directly or indirectly in cultivation/farming which accounts for 27% of state’s GDP. India is one of the world‘s largest producers of white rice and own rice, accounting for 20% of all world rice production. Despite the focus on industrialization, agriculture remains a dominant sector of the Indian economy both in terms of contribution to gross domestic product (GDP) as well as a source of employment to millions across the country. Agricultural Sector is the mainstay of the rural Indian economy around which socio–economic privileges and deprivations revolve and any change in its structure is likely to have a corresponding impact on the existing pattern of Social equity. “Agriculture is the backbone of the Indian Economy”– said Mahatma Gandhi five decades ago. Even today, as we enter the new millennium, the situation is still the same, with almost the entire economy being sustained by agriculture, which is the mainstay of the villages. Not only the economy, but also every one of us looks up to agriculture for our sustenance too. Studies also show that the economic liberalization and reforms process have impacted on rice production and rural sectors very much.
