No full textIn the last year and a half, COVID-19 has disrupted economies and livelihoods across the world, as well as causing large-scale infections and deaths. In this paper, an attempt has been made to analyse the economic impacts of COVID-19-induced lockdowns in India, with an emphasis on the agricultural sector and rural economy. The study has found that although, production, growth, and trade were affected less adversely in the agricultural sector than in the other sectors; the lockdowns had huge bearing on unemployment, incomes, and consumption in both rural and urban areas. The findings also indicate that the people in the urban areas suffered more than those in the rural areas; and that people in the bottom quintile were more adversely affected than those in the top quintile. COVID-19 thus worsened the already slow economy, and post-lockdown, it is yet to fully recover
Public expenditure in agriculture: Unmasking the real trends?
No full textPublic expenditure in the agriculture sector and its role in reducing poverty and enhancing household incomes, especially in rural areas, is widely studied and firmly established (Bathla et al 2020; Fan et al 1999, 2000; Fan et al 2008; Mogues et al 2015). In India, the union government and various state governments are the primary sources of public expenditure. Agriculture is a state subject under the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution of India (GoI 2020). However, considering the vast importance of the agriculture sector in the Indian economy (Wagh and Dongre 2016), the union government is also responsible for its development. In addition to spending directly on the sector, the union government allocates a major share of its budgetary resources to the state governments through various available instruments, including central sector schemes, centrally sponsored schemes, and grants-in-aid
