Lower agricultural development in Assam can be seen from various reasons like poor irrigation, lack of inflow of credit, etc. From the period of Green Revolution, to shortage of market infrastructure and to budget allocation till date, the agricultural sector experiences a neglected attitude in Assam. The study uses secondary sources of data to examine various initiatives taken by the Government and impact of these initiatives on the agricultural sector. Some suggestions are also included for better performance of agricultural policy in the state at the end to the paper.
