Hyderabad: Telangana secured the top position among all States by registering double growth in Agriculture in a period of five years. As a result, the Net State Value Added (NSVA) by economic activity from agriculture witnessed a cent per cent rise during 2017-2021.

During this period, States like Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal, considered to be fastest growing states in the agriculture sector, registered only 30 per cent to 40 per cent growth in farm production.
