Project Detail:
Himachal Pradesh is a small state with more than 50% of its areas in mountains and less than 10% in cultivation. The state's economic growth in the 1990s was driven by agriculture and its allied activities, but has gradually shifted to theindustrial/manufacturing and services sectors. Still, Himachal Pradesh is the only state in India where 90% of the state's population live in rural areas and nearly 62% of the state population relies on agriculture and its allied sectors for employment. Despite the importance of agriculture in the livelihood of large rural population, there is a distinct agricultural development gap between the northern (or temperate horticulture areas) and southern (or subtropical horticulture areas) parts of Himachal Pradesh.
Total Project Cost: 163.11 Million
