Description Bundelkhand region of Central India is hot spot of water scarcity, land degradation, low cropping intensity,
poor crop and livestock productivity and poor socio-economic status. Nearly 70% of the population of
Bundelkhand is dependent on agriculture and allied sectors for its livelihood. A National Sample Survey
report of 2017 shows that the per capita income in Bundelkhand is nearly ₹25,000, far below the national
average (₹103,000) and those of Uttar Pradesh (₹43,800) and neighboring Madhya Pradesh (₹56,200) and
Rajasthan (₹76,900). Given that strategies that focus on transforming agricultural and allied sectors are
key to improving livelihoods of rural populations, the Government of India laid the pathway for doubling
farmer’s incomes by 2022.
