Compound growth rates, Instability index, Standard deviation, Coefficient of varianceAbstract
The present study has been carried out to analyse the trends, growth performance and instability in area, production and productivity of pulses through time series data for the period of 15 years (i.e., 2002-03 to 2016-17 which is divided into 3 five years plan periods). The mean, compound growth rate and coefficient of variation were estimated for three plan periods and overall period. The analysis highlights the remarkable increase in area, production and productivity of total pulses in all the plans and the period as a whole. The highest growth rates for area (4.9%) was observed in 12th five year plan followed by 11th. However, the highest compound growth rates for production (5.5%) and productivity (2.6%) were estimated during 11th five years plan. Amongst targeted plan periods, coefficient of variation in area (9.77%), production (13.48%) and productivity (7.51%) were highest in 12th five years plan. The problems pertaining to each plan and the period as a whole were also discussed.
