Abstract
India's agricultural economy is undergoing structural changes. Between 1970 and 2011, the GDP share of agriculture has fallen from 43% to 16%. This isn't because of reduced importance of agriculture or a consequence of agricultural policy. This is largely because of the rapid economic growth in services, industrial output, and non-agricultural sectors in India between 2000 and 2010. In study analysis the farmers’ opinions towards the agriculture schemes rum by central government of India. The different tools which are used in this study are schedule, interview, direct observation and informal conversation. In the study, primary as well as secondary data used to achieve the objective of the study. The primary data was collected through the survey in Sirsa District with the help of well structured questionnaire. The administrative region of District Sirsa has been divided into five Tehsils. For the purpose of the study two tehsils will be selected from District Sirsa.The next problem is related to the selection of the villages in the sample. Ten villages will be selected at random from each tehsil. Thus, in all, 20 villages will be selected from two sample tehsils. Considering various aspects of the study, we have decided to survey of 600 agricultural workers include marginal and small farmers and landless agricultural labour from each sample tehsil. The analysis of data has been made by using various descriptive and inferential statistical tools like Arithmetic Mean, Percentage, and Frequency. The Government of India has launched many agricultural schemes for the upliftment of the economic conditions of agricultural workers. But as the survey has suggested that the poor section of the agriculture sector is trickle down by these schemes. Some respondents are slightly and average benefitted as the result shows, but, the majority of the farmers is not benefitted.
