Authors

Abstract
Agriculture being the prime moving force plays a considerable role in
the economic development of India. It accounts 17.4 per cent share in the GDP
of India and provides employment to more than 50 per cent workforce. The
production of total food grains has increased substantially in the country but
providing food grains to the growing population is a matter of concern as it is
possible only by increasing the production and productivity of food grains. The
present research work discusses the district-wise trends in the growth of food
grains production in Haryana. Secondary sources of data have been used for the
period from 2005-06 to 2014-15. The result revealed that growth in the
production of food grains was due to the growth in area and productivity; and
largely affected by the increase in area under food grains. The study also
revealed that the highest growth in the production of food grains has been
recorded by Sirsa (5.25) while Kurukshetra, Karnal, Panipat and Nuh districts
recorded negative growth rate.
