Harvesting the Crop-Interim Budget 1996-97

Interim Budget 1996-97 Ashok Gulati The interim budget for 1996-97 does not contain anything for agriculture except the proposed increase in food and fertiliser subsidies. On the growth front, while agriculture performed well during 1992-93 to 1994-95, it is difficult to say whether this was because of the economic reforms or good monsoons.
