1.2 Introduction to Agriculture
Agriculture is the cultivation of land and breeding of animals and plants to provide food,
fiber, medicinal plants and other products to sustain and enhance life. Agriculture was the key
development in the rise of sedentary human civilization, whereby farming of domesticated
species created food surpluses that enabled people to live in cities. The study of agriculture is
known as agricultural science. The history of agriculture dates back thousands of years;
people gathered wild grains at least 105,000 years ago and began to plant them around 11,500
years ago before they became domesticated. Pigs, sheep, and cattle were domesticated over
10,000 years ago. Crops originate from at least 11 regions of the world. Industrial agriculture
based on large-scale monoculture has in the past century come to dominate agricultural
output, though about 2 billion people worldwide still depend on subsistence agriculture.
Modern agronomy, plant breeding, agrochemicals such as pesticides and fertilizers, and
technological developments have sharply increased yields from cultivation, but at the same
time have caused widespread ecological and environmental damage. Selective breeding and
modern practices in animal husbandry have similarly increased the output of meat, but have
raised concerns about animal welfare and environmental damage through contributions to
global warming, depletion of aquifers, deforestation, antibiotic resistance, and growth
hormones in industrially produced meat. Genetically modified organisms are widely used,
although they are banned in several countries.
The major agricultural products can be broadly grouped into foods, fibers, fuels, and raw
materials (such as rubber). Classes of foods include cereals (grains), vegetables, fruits, oils,
meat, milk, fungi and eggs. Over one-third of the world's workers are employed in
agriculture, second only to the service sector, although the number of agricultural workers in
developed countries has decreased significantly over the past several centuries.
Indian agriculture began by 9000 BCE as a result of early cultivation of plants, and
domestication of crops and animals. Settled life soon followed with implements and
techniques being developed for agriculture. Double monsoons led to two harvests being
reaped in one year. Indian products soon reached the world via existing trading networks and
foreign crops were introduced to India. Plants and animals—considered essential to their
survival by the Indians—came to be worshiped and venerated.
The middle ages saw irrigation channels reach a new level of sophistication in India and
Indian crops affecting the economies of other regions of the world. Land and water
management systems were developed with an aim of providing uniform growth. Despite
some stagnation during the later modern era the independent Republic of India was able to
develop a comprehensive agricultural programme.

Over 65% of the population of more than one crore depend on agriculture and allied
sectors.
Agriculture and Allied Sectors Contribute 27% of State Income.
State faces massive deficit in food (40%), Oilseeds (70%) and vegetables (30%)
Net Sown Area (NSA) at 7.52 lac ha (2004-05) is 35% of the reported area as against
National Average of 46%.
Only 42% area is under irrigation. Around 90% of available ground water is
unutilized.
Over 70% of NSA is under food crops. A little over 13% is under fruits.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
2.1 Introduction
Data collection is the most essential aspect of any research because the whole result of
research depends on the data and information, therefore, the methodology adopted by me to
collect the data final interpretation were through.
8
Secondary Data
Secondary sources are the other important sources through which the data were collected.
These are the readily available sources of the data where one had need not put much
effort to collect, because it is already being collected and part in an elderly manner by
some researchers, experts and socialites. The secondary data was collected through
internet.
MEAN:
The mean is the most popular and well known measure of central tendency. It can be used
with both discrete and continuous data, although its use is most often with continuous.
The mean is equal to the sum of all the values in the data set divided by the number of values
in the data set.
In our data we have calculated mean to find average of the data.
Significance:
The statistical mean has a wide range of applicability in various types of experimentation.
This type of calculation eliminates random errors and helps to derive a more accurate
result than a result derived from a single experiment.
9
The statistical mean can also be used to interpret statistical data. Some important
properties make statistical mean very useful for measuring central tendency.
Statistical mean is popular because it includes every item in the data set and it can easily
be used with other statistical measurements
Through our data we can analyze that mean is affected by the value of every item in the
series.
MEDIAN:
The median is a simple measure of central tendency. Median refers to the middle value in a
distribution.
Significance:
Even though the mean is the most common measure of the central tendency, the median is
used where statistical measure makes a definitive social impact.
Median can be used in situations where we cannot get a proper measurement but can rank
data in a order.
Median is useful for distributions containing open-end intervals since these intervals do
not enter its computation.
Median is also affected by the number rather than the size of item
MODE:
The mode is a statistical term that refers to the most frequently occurring number found in a
set of numbers. The mode is most occurring number in the series.
We have calculated mode in our data by collecting and organising data in order to count the
frequency of each result. The result with the highest number of occurrences is the mode of
the set.
Significance:
10
The mode is calculated when the most typical value of a distribution is desired .It is the most
meaningful measure of central tendency
CORRELATION:
Correlation is the measure of degree of relatedness of variables. Correlation helps us in
analyzing the co variation of two or more variables.
In our data also we have calculated correlation on the basis of two variables.
Significance:
REGRESSION:
Regression is the measure of the average relationship between two or more variables in terms
of the original units of the data.
In our data we have calculated regression to find out average relation between two variables.
Significance:
Regression analysis provides estimates value of the dependent variable from values of the
independent variable.
Main aim of regression analysis is to obtain a measure of the error involved in using the
regression as a basis for estimation.
STANDARD DEVIATION:
Standard deviation is the measure of dispersion of a set of data from its mean. It measures the
absolute variability of a distribution; the higher the dispersion or variability, the greater is the
standard deviation and greater will be the magnitude of the deviation of the value from their
mean.
Significance:
It measures the deviation from the mean, which is a very important statistic
11
It squares and makes the negative numbers Positive
The square of small numbers is smaller (Contraction effect) and large numbers larger
(Expanding effect). So it makes you ignore small deviations and see the larger one clearly!

5.1 CONCLUSION
A village is a living, organic entity, with blood flowing through its veins and with a definite
pulse and heartbeat. It has its own distinct personality and its own dark caustic humor and
was constantly processing and regurgitating information through its winding, meandering
streets.
In India village development is a very crucial and important aspect today as a great amount of
population of India today lives in villages. Many efforts by the government of India are being
taken for the upliftment of villages. Upliftment of these villages is not only the responsibility
of the government, but we as individuals can also take part in it. Our survey report
contributes a major part to it as it may provide insight to the problems faced by the village
taken by us and Jammu University may take initiative to adopt it.
If we talk about agriculture aspect of the village, Bain bajalta is facing many issues and all
these issues need to be dealt with. The village has a great scope for agriculture as
employment will also get covered by employing more public. This can be done by improving
agriculture facilities and making them aware of various agricultural schemes.
