Abstract


The problem of food is becoming a crisis day by day, engaging the best brains and the greatest men of the country. This inadequacy started in 1942-43 in the midst of war, due to sudden influx of evacuees from Burma and other States coupled with increased numbers of Military to be fed Inspite of all efforts by the State for increased production, by various concessions such as manures, seeds, mechanical and electrical power and land with irrigation projects and improvements for increased water supply, this deficit is still not made up. The reasons quoted are the failure of crops by excess or shortage of rains, and adverse seasonal effects, but there should also be some underlying root-cause that contributes to this crisis.
