The study observes a significant growth in agricultural labour productivity despite variation in their sources, across the states in India during the sample period. While growth of India’s agricultural labour productivity mainly depended on the accumulation of inputs and technical progress, efficiency changes contributed more towards regional disparities in agricultural productivity growth. Improving efficiency to promote TFP growth is important for agricultural labour productivity growth for the low-performing states. – Reproduced   aAgricultural labour productivity growth, TFP, Malmquist index, Regional disparity, India  aThe Indian Journal of Labour Economics
