This paper has been made possible by the unconditional support of any people. We would
like to acknowledge and extend our heartfelt gratitude to Asst. Prof. Rajesh Gautam for
guiding us throughout the development of this project into a coherent whole by providing
helpful insights and sharing his brilliant expertise. We would also like to thank the officials of
Gyan Mandir, NLIU for helping us to find the appropriate research material for this study.
We are deeply indebted to our parents, seniors and friends for all the moral support and
encouragement.
In this project, we will try to determine the trend and pattern of capital formation in Indian
agriculture and the role it plays in shaping the economic policies.
It helps the students understand and analyze all the macroeconomic factors that influence the
economy. And, presents detailed information with a lot of illustrations, graphs and examples. This
book helped me learn about the various concepts used in the project work.
Fare of flavours from India are depended upon to reach US$ 3 billion by 2016-

The National Food Security Mission (NFSM) was propelled from Rabi, 2007-
08. The principal focuses of the National Food Security Mission (NFSM) is to
grow creation of rice, wheat, beats and coarse oats through area augmentation
and effectiveness overhaul supportably in the perceived district of the country;
re-establishing soil readiness and benefit at the individual farm level; and
enhancing ranch level economy (i.e. farm benefits) to re-establish certainty
among the agriculturists. The Mission met with a stunning accomplishment
and achieved the concentrated on additional age of rice, wheat and pulses. The
Mission is being kept in the midst of Twelfth Five Year Plan with new focal
points of additional age of sustenance grains of 25 million tons including 10
The majority of the Indians are specifically or by implication relying upon the
agriculture. Some are straightforwardly connected with the cultivating and
some other individuals are associated with working with these products. India
has the ability to create the sustenance grains which can have tremendous
effect in Indian Economy. To accomplish focused on stamp by the
administration it needs to offer help if there should be an occurrence of land,
bank credits and different hardware to the little ranchers alongside the
enormous agriculturists with this we can expect some enhancement in Indian
economy.
Capital formation is a term used to describe the net capital accumulation during
an accounting period for a particular country. the term refers to additions of capital stock,
such as equipment, tools, transportation assets and electricity. countries need capital goods to
replace the ones that are used to produce goods and services. if a country cannot replace
capital goods, production declines. generally, the higher the capital formation of an economy,
the faster an economy can grow its aggregate income.
In other words, capital formation involves making of more capital goods such as machines,
tools, factories, transport equipment, materials, electricity, etc., which are all used for future
production of goods.
For making additions to the stock of capital, saving and investment are essential.

Therefore, in a modern free enterprise economy, the process of capital formation consists of
the following three stages.
Creation of savings:
The level of savings in a country depends upon the power to save and the will to save. The
power to save or saving capacity of an economy mainly depends upon the average level of
income and the distribution of national income. The higher the level of income, the greater
will be the amount of savings.
The countries having higher levels of income are able to save more. That is why the rate of
savings in the U.S.A. and Western European countries is much higher than that in
comparatively less developed and poor countries like India. Further, the greater the
inequalities of income, the greater will be the amount of savings in the economy. Apart from
the power to save, the total amount of savings depends upon the will to save. Various
personal, family, and national considerations induce the people to save.
People save in order to provide against old age and unforeseen emergencies. Some people
desire to save a large sum to start new business or to expand the existing business. Moreover,
people want to make provision for education, marriage and to give a good start in business
for their children.
Further, it may be noted that savings may be either voluntary or forced. Voluntary savings are
those savings which people do of their own free will. As explained above, voluntary savings
depend upon the power to save and the will to save of the people. On the other hand, taxes by
the Government represent forced savings.
The third source of savings is government. The government savings constitute the money
collected as taxes and the profits of public undertakings. The greater the amount of taxes
collected and profits made, the greater will be the government savings. The savings so made
can be used by the government for building up new capital goods like factories, machines,
roads, etc., or it can lend them to private enterprise to invest in capital goods.
Mobilization of Savings:
The next step in the process of capital formation is that the savings of the households must be
mobilized and transferred to businessmen or entrepreneurs who require them for investment.
In the capital market, funds are supplied by the individual investors (who may buy securities
or shares issued by companies), banks, investment trusts, insurance companies, finance
corporations, governments, etc.
If the rate of capital formation is to be stepped up, the development of capital market is very
necessary. A well- developed capital market will ensure that the savings of the society-will be
mobilized and transferred to the entrepreneurs or businessmen who require them.
For savings to result in capital formation, they must be invested. In order that the investment
of savings should take place, there must be a good number of honest and dynamic
entrepreneurs in the country who are able to take risks and bear uncertainty of production.
Given that a country has got a good number of venturesome entrepreneurs, investment will be
made by them only if there is sufficient inducement to invest. Inducement to invest depends
on the marginal efficiency of capital (i.e., the prospective rate of profit) on the one hand and
the rate of interest, on the other.But of the two determinants of inducement to invest-the
marginal efficiency of capital and the rate of interest—it is the former which is of greater

Fluctuations in investment are mainly due to changes in expectations regarding profits. But it
is the size of the market which provides scope for profitable investment. Thus, the primary
factor which determines the level of investment or capital formation, in any economy, is the
size of the market for goods.
FOREIGN CAPITAL:
Capital formation in a country can also take place with the help of foreign capital, i.e., foreign
savings.
There are very few countries which have successfully marched on the road to economic
development without making use of foreign capital in one form or the other. India is
receiving a good amount of foreign capital from abroad for investment and capital formation
under the Five-Year Plans.
DEFICIT FINANCING:
There is specially a good case for using deficit financing to utilise the existing under-
employed labour in schemes which yield quick returns. In this way, the inflationary potential
of deficit financing can be neutralized by an increase in the supply of output in the short-run.
DISGUISED UNEMPLOYMENT:
Another source of capital formation is to mobilize the saving potential that exists in the form
of disguised unemployment. Surplus agricultural workers can be transferred from the
agricultural sector to the non-agricultural sector without diminishing agricultural output.
The objective is to mobilize these unproductive workers and employ them on various capital
creating projects, such as roads, canals, building of schools, health centres and bunds for
floods, in which they do not require much more capital to work with. In this way’, the
hitherto unemployed, labour can be utilised productively and turned into capital, as it were.
There are various ways in which a government can get resources for investment purposes or
for capital formation. The government can increase the level of direct and indirect taxation
and then can finance its various projects. Another way of obtaining the necessary resources is
the borrowing by the Government from the public.
Another source of capital formation in the public sector is the profits of public undertakings
which can be used by the government for further investment. As stated above, government
can also get loans from foreign countries and international agencies like World Bank. India is
getting a substantial amount of foreign assistance for investment purposes under the Five-
Year Plans.
Tables 1 and 2 demonstrates the outline of the Gross domestic product and GCF i.e. Total
national output and Gross Capital Development for the length of 1960-94 have been given
with the end goal to give an outline since the early occasions of India after Freedom
Constm.
1993-94 29.75
The sectoral areas in Gross domestic product are someway additionally reflected in the
sectoral commitment in GCF. In supreme terms. The GCF in farming expanded by 3.44
occasions from Rs. 1777 crores in 1960-61 to Rs. 6119 crores in 1993-94. Conversely, the
relating increment in assembling and administration parts was 4.98 occasions and 4.20
Relevantly, these patterns in GCF show that falling (expanding) offer of an area in Gross
domestic product essentially does not mean a falling (expanding) GCF in the division. The
idea of the sectoral action and effectiveness of utilization of capital might be essential factors
in deciding the development in sectoral GCF.Moreover, the transient varieties in the sectoral
movement may likewise have critical effect in deciding the sectoral Gross domestic product
and GCF.
Be that as it may, the falling pattern in all out capital development in Indian farming appears
to have turned around since 1987-88 in spite of the determinedly declining open area. This is
delineated by a 3 percent for each annum development in 1987-88 to 1993-94 (Table 6).
Strangely, these patterns in private capital arrangement in this declining period of eighties to
mid nineties (i.e., 1982-83 to 1993-94) has been sure. Truth be told the fall in absolute capital
These patterns in capital development in Indian farming specifically, decrease out in the open
segment, more than compensatory development in private segment and coming about
recuperation in by and large capital arrangement bring up relevant issues. The last could be
acted like : (1) do the state level patterns affirm comparative marvel? (2) does it imply that
the cases of prior investigations with respect to complementarity in broad daylight and
private area hold not any more? (3) on the off chance that there is no complementarity, what
is the idea of connection among open and private segment capital arrangement in Indian
horticulture? We take up these inquiries in seriatum in the accompanying segments.
Our above examination does not give a proof of complementarity among open and private
areas. For relatively whole term, there have been developments in capital arrangement in
horticulture demonstrating a developing job of private area. Indeed, even at the state level,
with the exception of Rajasthan, the developing noticeable quality of private division is
apparent. In A.P., for example, since 1985-86 GFCFA in private division started to end up
conspicuous. Comparable is the situation in Kerala since 1980-81. In Tamil Nadu
additionally from 1987 ahead the example supported the private GFCFA. In this foundation,
there rise the accompanying two relevant inquiries: (I) what are the variables which impact
open and also private capital development in Indian farming? Furthermore, (ii) what could be
the arrangement alternatives to reinforce the procedure of capital development explicitly
keeping in view the progressing procedure of advancement in Indian economy? The
responses to second question somewhat rise to be sure from an examination of the elements
affecting open private capital arrangement. In such manner, it is relevant to see that prior
examinations have focussed their consideration on clarifying different components that may
have prompted a decrease out in the open segment capital development. In this manner, at the
all-India level, assuming complementarity among open and private segments, the falling
GFCFA out in the open part has been clarified regarding : (I) decrease in the extent of
consumption on horticulture and partnered division in the total (plan and non-plan) use of the
inside and states and (ii) quick development of farming sponsorships or rising extent of use
on income account (Shetty, 1990; Rao, 1994). Raising questions about the assumed
A large number of the population is involved in Agriculture in India. This is the reason why
Agriculture constitutes a major part of the Indian GDP. At least some near about a figure of
about 16% stands with respect to the contribution of agriculture in GDP. Majority of the
exports of India constitute of agricultural produce such as fruits, vegetables, pulses, tea,
spices etc.
India, stands tall as one of the leading producers in the world for many agricultural products
such as tea, wheat etc. The nation stands tall and proud of its agricultural sector. The income
earned, mostly circulates for purchasing food items which is good for the financial growth.
Capital formation is of utmost importance in the shaping of policies by the state and the
central governments. The most important role it serves is as a harbinger of economic growth.
It is helpful in uncovering the latent potential of investment in the public and private sector
and also helps in bringing in net addition to the assets acquired during the current year.
Even though prima-facie most of the government policies are focused towards increasing the
capital formation in the agricultural sectors, the efforts seems to go futile with little to no
impact and the condition rather than improving is not even stable and is degrading at a
devastating rate.
