Increase in state government’s share to agriculture:
The data collected from various government budgetary allocation database
shows that state governments are having very less amount of expenditure
in agriculture sector. Increasingly the state governments have become
more risk averse and attentive towards showing a surplus balance sheet
for vote-bank. This reduces capital corpus to be spent on various fields
and agriculture falls short of its potential requirement. Though the
data in the diagramme shows a positive increase in state contribution
(blue segment of the diagramme) it requires further deliberate and
spontaneous action from the states’ side.
