Tasks

We have implemented the following tasks in the dashboard:

1. Task 1: To analyze crop production statistics across the nation (district-wise)
2. Task 2: To analyze trends in crop production over the years
3. Task 3: To correlate rainfall pattern with crop production trends

Task 1 Analysis

1. Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh were the first Indian states to cultivate wheat.
2. Today, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan have joined the list of the largest Wheat-producing states.
3. Govt. policies and missions like NFSM, RKVY, PMFBY, subsidies, and farmer knowledge caused the change.

Task 2 Analysis

Cereals

• Rice and Wheat were cultivated most, over all the years
• Bajra production peaked in 2012 and decreased henceforth
• Jowar production decreased overall, and consistently after 2008
• Millet production has decreased over the years, especially since 2010. The proportion of other crops(crop diversity) has decreased

Pulses

• Proportion of moong has decreased over the years
• Moth and Horse-gram production has decreased

Task 3 Analysis(Rainfall correlation)

• Bajra, and Gram are dry land crops and are hence, most grown in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh(low rainfall).

• Rice cultivation is also concentrated to high rainfall areas(like the East coast) owing to its water requirements
• The extensive rice cultivation in the Punjab-Haryana region in the absence of sufficient rainfall explains the rainfall issues faced there
