Indian farmers, especially the owners of marginal and fragmented holdings, are running and reeling under incessant stress and drudgery. The stressors are dwindling and uncertain income, insurmountable debt trap and unpredictable climate. When costs are simmering, returns are extremely stoic; the farmers are being thrown into a hell of chaos. The sociology of Indian farming steers down the pathway of chaos and entropy; farmers’ suicides are the shocking indicator to measure the unfathomable agony and distress.

The objective of this study is to examine the service sector impacts on economic growth of Bihar, since it plays an important role in contributing in Bihar’s GSDP. At the all India Level, services share has increased at a greater rate than industry after 2003-05 while in Bihar, services through have easily increased at a greater rate than agriculture. The economy of Bihar is largely service oriented, but it also has a significant agricultural base. This study discusses the nature of growth of services in Bihar and compare with the overall India level. This study also look into the sectoral contribution of services in Bihar and other important feature of the services led growth in the state. India has experience rapid change in the growth of service sector since 1990-91, to become the economy’s leading sector, during the same period services in Bihar have too upgrown. The study also find that there are variations in growth and performance of different sub-sectors of services. While the main contributors to services growth in India are transportation, trade, hotel and communication, the main contributors in Bihar are hotels, trades, and restaurants. After the economic reforms of the 1990s, the share of all the services subsectors in GDP has increased. The share of financing, trade and transport sectors in total services sector has increased while that of community, social and personal services has declined.

Looking to the importance and scope of the pomegranate crop in
Maharashtra this study has been undertaken to identify the growth in
Total Factor Productivity of the Pomegranate crop in Maharashtra. An
attempt has been made to study the Total Factor Productivity Growth
in Pomegranate crop of Maharashtra. The data on area, production and
productivity of pomegranate for Maharashtra and India was collected
from the various published sources viz: Director of horticulture,
Maharashtra state, Pune, Economic Survey of Maharashtra, National
Horticulture Database (NHB) etc. The information on expenditure on research, extension, salary, contingency etc. was availed from the office record of AICRP on Arid Fruits, Central Campus, MPKV Rahuri. The information on sale of University released Bhagwa variety were taken from the office record of Chief Seed office, MPKV, Rahuri, Seed Council Reports from 2000- 2001. The time series data on costs and returns of pomegranate crop for the year 2000-01 to 2016-17 were collected and compiled from the quick estimate reports of State cost of Cultivation Scheme, Department of Agril. Economics, MPKV, Rahuri. Maharashtra state ranks first in area and production of pomegranate in India contributing 65 to 70 percent of area and production of the country. The production of pomegranate was increased through both area expansion and productivity improvement for the entire period. There is a contribution of technology and input in TFP growth even though the input indices decreasing. Research investment (0.08), N to P ratio (0.66) and area under drip (0.99) have significantly contributed to TFP growth in pomegranate. The contribution of research and rainfall was significant in TFP growth for pomegranate in Maharashtra. Hence the Government should allocate substantial funds to public research in pomegranate for productivity improvement of pomegranate crop.
