Abstract

The main objective of the present study was to examine the district-level regional disparities in the agriculture development of Haryana. The study computed an agricultural development index using the Wroclaw taxonomic method, selecting 23 key agricultural indicators. The finding confirmed that the agricultural disparities had widened over the period in Haryana, where Yamuna Nagar and Kurukshetra districts had a high level of agricultural development. In contrast, Mahendragarh, Nuh, Rewari, and Bhiwani lagged in agricultural development. In addition, northern Haryana was prosperous in agricultural development, except for Panchkula and Panipat districts and the southern state had fallen behind in agricultural development, except for Palwal and Faridabad. The government should focus on lagging indicators in low and low-middle-developed districts to achieve balanced regional development
