Abstract: Chhattisgarh
is divided into three agro-climatic zones, each with distinct characteristics
regarding area, soil, irrigation, and cropping systems. The state government's
efforts to promote agricultural development and improve farmers' economic
conditions have been recognized nationally, with Chhattisgarh receiving the
"Krishi Karman" award multiple times. These awards, given for
achievements in paddy and pulses production and overall food grain output,
highlight the state's commitment to agricultural excellence.
Include paddy, soybean, urad,
and arhar, while gram and tivda dominate the Rabi season. Additionally, some
districts in the state are conducive to sugarcane cultivation, and currently,
four cooperative sugar mills are operating successfully. Other crops include
maize, small grains, moong, wheat, and groundnut, with the central plains of
Chhattisgarh often referred to as the "rice bowl of Central India."
Keywords : Rice bowl, commitment.
