Data insightsFrom marginal to large-scale operations, the Agricultural Inputs Consumption Survey Dataset for Himachal Pradesh offers a nuanced understanding of input consumption patterns. It provides detailed insights into irrigation practices, distinguishing between net and gross irrigated areas, as well as unirrigated sections, crucial for evaluating water resource utilization. The dataset also covers total operated area and livestock count, offering a comprehensive view of agricultural activities. Detailed information on credit usage, including sources like Primary Agricultural Credit Societies, Land Development Banks, and Commercial Banks, highlights the financial support system for operational holdings. Additionally, insights into seed adoption trends, including certified, notified, or hybrid varieties, enable informed decisions and the formulation of targeted agricultural policies to promote sustainability in Himachal Pradesh.

MethodologyThe "Input Survey Composite" dataset, within the domain of Food and Agriculture, is collected and maintained by the Agricultural Census Division under the Department of Agriculture and Cooperation, Ministry of Agriculture. The data is gathered at the district level and is conducted on a quinquennial basis, meaning it occurs every five years. The methodology employed involves a comprehensive survey process wherein data pertaining to various aspects of food and agriculture within each district is systematically collected. This includes information on crop production, livestock, agricultural practices, and other relevant variables. The survey is likely to involve field visits, interviews, and possibly the use of specialized tools or technologies for data collection. The aim is to provide a detailed and accurate snapshot of the agricultural landscape in each district, enabling informed policy-making and resource allocation in the sector.
