Introduction • Jharkhand state is carved out from Bihar state in 2000. • The state is rich in mineral resources and poor in agricultural production. • More than 75% of work force is engaged in agriculture, but generates only 20% of state’s GDP. • About 45% area is under non-agricultural use and 32% is culturable waste and only 23% area is under cultivation. • Despite a strong industrial production base in the state, rural population has not benefited and majority are still earning their livelihoods through agriculture. • During last ten years agriculture could not grow in the state as per expectations, resulting in higher rural poverty.
