    [abstract] => <p>Agriculture is the backbone of Indian economy that plays a vital role in its development. Almost 54.6% of the population engaged directly or indirectly in agriculture and allied activities. It&rsquo;s one of the most important operation is food grain production, among the food grain; coarse cereal development not given a priority in India until recent years. It was only post 2007 period that a focused attention was given to increase the production of coarse cereal through an enhancement of plan allocation by National Food Security Mission (NFSM) and implementation of location specific technology.&nbsp; In coarse cereal crop, Ragi (Finger Millet) crop is one of the major crops and its production is not only in terms of food security, but also in creating better nutrient for people. It has several varieties such as yellow, white, tan, red, brown, or violet color, only the red colored are cultivated extensively throughout world. The main objective of this paper is to analysis the trends and growth of area, production and productivity of ragi crop in India. The study indicated that the Compound Growth Rate (CGR) of area under ragi has decreased -1.10 per cent, production has increased 0.36 per cent, and productivity has increased 1.47 per cent during the period 1950-15 in India. CGR of area under ragi cultivation has increased 4.35 per cent, production has increased 4.12 per cent, and productivity has increased 1.93 per cent during the reference period in selected states of India.</p>

<p><strong>KEY WORDS:</strong> Coarse Cereal, Ragi Crop, Compound Growth Rate.</p>
