Dr. S. Linga Murthy, Dr. Priyesh C. A

Abstract :

This study on Agrarian Crisis in South Indian States makes an attempt on the issue of farm sector crisis at the national level and four major South Indian States. This study presents data on the growth rate of agriculture, manufacturing, service sectors and GDP over the years, agriculture production especially food grains production, data on capital formation and per capita availability of food grains in the Indian economy. It also presents the agriculture, manufacturing, service sector and SDP growth rate of the four South Indian states in the pre and post-liberalization period and agricultural production including food grains. In all these four South Indian states, food grains production also shows sharp decline in the post-liberalisation period. This may be due to low priority given to agriculture in the economic reform period of 1990s.The shifting of priority from this vital agriculture and allied activities to some other sun rise industries like IT, BT and tourism by the Centre and the states once well known for agriculture and food grain production led to poor performance of the farm sector.
