Abstract
This research paper explores the regional disparities in agricultural development across Rajasthan, India, and examines the socio-economic factors contributing to these inequalities. The study highlights significant variations in agricultural productivity, income levels, and resource distribution between the state's diverse regions. By analysing key indicators such as crop yields, income disparities, and infrastructural differences, the paper identifies the major factors influencing these disparities, including irrigation access, soil fertility, and socio-economic conditions. Case studies of high and low-performing regions illustrate the extent of these disparities and their implications for economic stability, social equity, and environmental sustainability. The paper concludes with policy recommendations aimed at addressing these disparities, including investments in irrigation infrastructure, improved access to agricultural inputs and credit, promotion of sustainable practices, and targeted socio-economic interventions. The findings underscore the need for a comprehensive and region-specific approach to policy formulation to achieve more equitable and sustainable agricultural development in Rajasthan.
