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 Agricultural labour productivity growth, TFP, Malmquist index, Regional disparity, India 29168 The Indian Journal of Labour Economics AGRICULTURAL LABOUR AR 0 0 ddc 0 0 393072 IIPA IIPA 2022-01-20 64(2), Apr-Jun, 2021: p.371-388 AR126061 2022-01-20 AR
