b.Scenario of Agriculture & allied department including administrative details

Apart from the issues faced by the district in agricultural activities, another disquieting feature of agriculture growth in the recent years is that some of the allied sectors of agriculture which were considered as sunrise sectors, e.g. livestock and fisheries and horticulture also started showing deceleration. The growth rates in the output of fruits and vegetables and fisheries decelerated.

The declaration is also seen in the case of livestock sector. At present allied sector especially animal husbandry is seen as additional source of income and very less emphasis has been given in its development. However, due to the limited scope of further addition to the net area sown in the district, diversification of district agriculture through allied activities is a significant way of reduction in income disparities between rural and urban population.
