The research work was conducted on “Growth Dynamics of rice in Nagpur Division” was carried out with the objective to estimate the district wise growth rate of area, production and productivity of rice in Nagpur Division. The study was based on the secondary data of area, production and productivity of rice in the Nagpur Division. The complete data of rice available for five districts of Nagpur Division from 2000-01 to 2019-20 was split into two sub-periods i.e. period I 2000-01 to 2009-10 and period II 2010-11 to 2019-20.
