| Summary, etc |
The present study has been conducted for Himachal Pradesh of Western Himalayan region with the objectives to analyze mainly the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) of hill agriculture in the state of Himachal Pradesh during the five year plan periods since 1951-52. The study included the planning aspects of agriculture, horticulture and animal husbandry, constraints faced and areas of intervention in the state in respect to total outlay and respective allocation during the different plan periods. In order to make green revolution period a movement, the outlay was enhanced in the fourth plan period to about 3.5 times that of the third plan. Similarly, the economic reforms period started in the VIIIth plan period with an enhancement of outlay to about 2.5 times that of the previous plan. Interestingly, in the VIth plan period the allocation made was almost 4.4 times that of the Vth plan, which is an indication of more thrust for the green revolution movement. Based on SWOT analysis it is suggested that the policy makers should devise ways to increase the share of producers in consumer’s price to about 60 to 70 percent. The State should concentrate in agriculture sector with added emphasis on the development, off-season vegetables, cash crops and organic manure based farming. In horticulture sector the emphasis should be on forest-based plants like medicinal herbs and aromatic plants, spices, dry fruits, flowers, conventional and unconventional fruits for diversified farming. While in case of livestock sector, more useful programs like better breeding, feeding and disease control should be encouraged along with the improvement in pasture land. – Reproduced
