Abstract

The present study discussed a growth of agricultural production and productivity trend in India since green revolution from 1966 - 67 to 2020 - 21. Data on important variables like, Agricultural production, area under cultivation, and yield per hectare in selected states like Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Punjab, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, TamilNadu and Madhya Pradesh and their major crops in India. For analysis of this study were used the statistical tools like Simple Linear Regression Model, and annual growth rates. The major objectives of the study were to analyse the trend and growth of production and productivity of major crops in selected states of India from 1966 - 67 to 2020 - 21. The study concluded that on an average of area production and yield per hectare of the major crops like Rice, Wheat, Maize, Jowar and Bajra were continuously increased after the green revolution by using of high yielding varieties of seeds over period.
