A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF EXTENT OF NET AREA SOWN OF RAJASTHAN: 2010-11 TO 2018-19

Agricultural development entails fundamental adjustments to agricultural methods and practises, improvements to outputs as a result, and modications to the socioeconomic makeup of rural communities. It involves moving the agricultural sector away from the crude, widely diverse, mostly rain-fed, subsistenceoriented family level production towards technically sophisticated, more specialised, market-oriented output, to put it succinctly. Changes in land-use patterns, such as a decline in the amount of cultivable waste land, an increase in the net area planted, and an improvement in crop intensity, indicate changes in the agricultural environment. The percentage of cultivated land that is planted at least once in a farming year is known as net area sown. It refers to the real area of land that is farmed throughout the year
