Statistical evaluation of agricultural development in Raipur district based on agricultural indicators

Sapna Bhardwaj, Monika Paikra, Pooja Aaditya, Yamuna Kashyap and DP Singh

This study focuses on assessing the agricultural development of Raipur district in Chhattisgarh by constructing composite indices derived from a range of developmental indicators. The analysis was carried out for four blocks—Aarang, Abhanpur, Raipur, and Tilda covering the year 2024–25. To ensure a comprehensive evaluation, three different methods were applied: Principal Component Analysis (PCA), the Narain et al. (1991) [16] method, and the Michela method (2005) [17]. The findings of the study revealed notable disparities in the level of agricultural development across the blocks. Among them, Aarang emerged as the most advanced, reflecting higher performance across the selected indicators. In contrast, Raipur and Tilda were identified as significantly lagging behind, showing weaker agricultural development. Abhanpur, while not at the top, was positioned in an intermediate stage, indicating progress and potential for further development. These results highlight the uneven nature of agricultural growth within the district and underline the need for targeted interventions to reduce block-level disparities.
