With sub aggregation of state wise data for six different regions of India, the analysis at disaggregate level revels that the acreage expansion under paddy farming during liberalization period has let to smaller increase in paddy output when compared with the overall period of study. Over the past two decades, the success in the realization of higher output of kharif and rabi paddy has remained restricted with the irrigated regions of the country. Such result have been complemented by the negative value of relative productivity gap in irrigated areas of the Northern and southern region but was abysmal in rainfed areas of Central, Eastern, Western and North Eastern region of India for the reference period. - Reproduced
