Technical Efficiency in Gram Production of Amravati Division

This book deals with study of Rabi season crop Gram in Amravati Division of Vidarbha region,Maharashtra. Empirical studies on technical efficiency and resource use efficiency provides basic factors for the considering the input use to boost the agricultural production. This study will be helpful in identifying the efficient inputs in cost of cultivation and to formulate the base for some strategies such as use of low cost and location specific resources conservation technologies to improve the yield level ensuring more income to the farmers. As the present study is concerned with specific area i.e. Amravati division of Maharashtra and for specified period. The results will be applicable only to the areas which have similar situation of the area under study. Gram is one of the major crops grown in Amravati division of Maharashtra State.
