 ABSTRACT

Green revolution in Uttar Pradesh was fairly successful but after 1990 agricultural growth has slowed down in the state. Farm households of the state are among the poorest in the country. This paper investigates the factor responsible for low levels of agricultural growth in UP from a micro-perspective. The study was carried out in the Karsanda village located 40 km away from the Lucknow city. Primary information was collected from the farmers with the help of various Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) tools. Garret’s ranking technique was used for problem prioritization. Knowledge gaps, low market prices, irrigation water scarcity, poor crop yield at farms, poor institute Linkage and loss due to wild animals were found to be the main reason for lower growth.

Key words: Uttar Pradesh, Agricultural Growth, Participatory Rural Appraisal, Garret’s ranking.
