Author(s): Shivjeet Kaur, Sandeep Kaur and KS Sohal
Abstract: The principal objective of the present study is to reveal the changes in regional Imbalances of maize productivity in Rajasthan, his study examines the regional imbalance in maize productivity in Rajasthan from 1990-91 to 2014-15. The research analyzes the trends and disparities in maize productivity across different regions of the state, highlighting the factors contributing to these imbalances. The findings reveal significant variations in maize productivity, with some regions experiencing higher growth rates than others. The study uses district-level data to assess the productivity gaps and identifies the key drivers of productivity differences, including irrigation, soil quality, and adoption of technology. The results provide insights into the regional disparities in agricultural productivity, offering valuable information for policymakers and stakeholders to develop targeted strategies for promoting balanced agricultural development in Rajasthan. The study's findings can inform policy interventions aimed at reducing regional imbalances and enhancing overall agricultural productivity in the state. The study in hand is based on secondary sources of data. The unit of study is district. Modified formula of Singh (1976) technique is used for deriving the results and cartographic method is applied for mapping the results.
