Characteristics of State Economy

Dominant role of agriculture in economy.

A large segment of work-force is dependant on agriculture

for livelihood.

The level of agriculture productivity is relatively low and

still the food-grains cultivation is the main source of income

due to inadequate increase in high value commercial crops

and less diversification in agriculture and allied activities.

Preponderance of marginal and uneconomic holdings,

together with low level of average size of holding and per

capita net cropped area.

The share of manufacturing sector is not increasing which is

an indicator of inadequate diversification in the economy.

in 2006-07 and the level of consolidation achieved is most likely to be maintained, but after implementation of recommendations of the Sixth Pay Commission, state economy adversely affected.
