A Simple note on Rajasthan: Agriculture Statistics (Timely Reporting Scheme)

Rajasthan has been implementing the Indian Government’s Timely Reporting Scheme since 1972. It is recommended under the Timely Reporting Scheme to enter rapid, consistent, and precise estimates of location immediately after the sowing of primary crops in Rajasthan, namely Rabi, Zaid, and Kharif, on the basis of definite area listing in the chosen 20% villages through trial survey. These approximations enable the government to analyse agricultural forecasts for the current year and to take swift policy actions in the areas of agricultural fabrication, exports, and imports.

Rajasthan is India’s leading producer of rapeseed, bajra, mustard, and wool, as well as second in oilseeds, spices, and milk. Rajasthan is India’s third-largest soya bean and coarse cereal producer.

Rajasthan is also North India’s biggest milk producer. Rajasthan Co-operative Milk Producer Union’s Saras milk product brand has outlets in Jodhpur (HQ), Jaipur, and New Delhi.

The following are the fundamental concepts behind the Timely Reporting Scheme:

• To obtain unwavering and statistically precise approximations of the area of major crops as soon as planting is completed.
• To obtain disconnected estimations of the area of non-irrigated and irrigated crops.
• Obtaining estimates of location under a variety of crops
• Due to a 9-fold categorization, estimations of land usage were obtained.

The agriculture of Rajasthan:

Wheat and barley, as well as pulses, sugarcane, and oilseeds, are widely grown. Cotton and tobacco are both profitable crops. Rajasthan is India’s second-largest producer of edible oils and second-largest producer of oilseeds. Rajasthan is also India’s largest wool-producing state.

Rajasthan cultivates half of its land (342.58 lakh ha), producing roughly 100 lakh tonnes of grains, 7.26 lakh tonnes of pulses, 7.14 lakh tonnes of oilseeds, 5.61 lakh tonnes of sugarcane, 8.05.14 lakh bales of cotton, and 4.81 lakh tonnes of guar seed, among other things. 

The Green Revolution has been the cornerstone of agricultural progress, converting the country from a food-insecure state to one of self-sufficiency. The persistent issues in Rajasthan include a big population of 3.50 crore people, a diverse farming community of 32 lakh farmers, the main task force “women flocks over 70%,” the majority of resource poor farmers, low literacy, and a high number of small holdings, a lack of access to technology for resource poor farmers, unique demands of each group of farmers, a range of farming scenarios, inadequate irrigation facilities, agro climatic variation, a poor marketing chain, and over 20000 senior, medium, and junior level field functionaries.

Agricultural statistics at a glance:

The collecting, processing, and analysis of statistical data that characterize the current state and development of agriculture, as well as the fulfillment of production goals, are the main activities involved in agricultural statistics. Such information is utilised to create yearly and long-term agricultural output strategies.

Agriculture and related industries continue to play an important part in the country’s economic growth and development. The sector’s developments are of interest to a wide range of people around the world, including policymakers, researchers, academicians, the agribusiness community, international organisations, and so on. The Directorate of Economics and Statistics’ yearly publication, ‘Agricultural Statistics at a Glance,’ presents a comprehensive set of information on the trends in agriculture and related industries throughout States and across time. It has become one of the most trusted sources of information on agriculture and related sectors in India due to its extensive coverage and up-to-date information.
