Author : Laimayum Ashutosh Sharma and Dr. Amit Kumar Chauhan

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the issues surrounding agricultural growth in Manipur through the use of specific criteria, such as worker distribution, area under cultivation, crop yield, land usage, land holdings, etc. It also makes an effort to deal with the long-term problems related to Manipur's agriculture. According to the study, Manipur's traditional agriculture can be transformed into a modern one by implementing science-based technology, creating an effective pricing system within the industry, offering financial incentives, giving agriculture priority, lowering the frequency of general strikes and bandhs, making the best use of human resources, fostering communication and knowledge dissemination among farmers, establishing a welcoming social structure, and ensuring financial inclusion. Because modern agriculture promotes economic growth and lowers poverty, it will quicken the speed of economic development.
