Abstract
An examination of monthly farm income obtained by agricultural households in India presents a very dismal picture of these households. Only a small percentage of agricultural households in India receive a monthly farm income greater than ₹10,000. Furthermore, nearly 70 per cent of agricultural households in India earn a farm income of less than ₹5,000 per month. Agricultural households in several states are too poor even after accounting for income from non-farm sources. A large proportion of agricultural households in Jharkhand, Bihar, Odisha, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal and Madhya Pradesh are unable to obtain a subsistence level of income. JEL Codes: Q12, D31, R20
