Abstract

The development of the agriculture sector as change for inclusive growth of any economy in the world is very important. At present, numerous of developing and under developing countries, the agriculture sector is generating maximum employment as compared to other sectors. In order to achieve the sustainable development, the agrarian economy has been providing various incentives for accelerating productivity of agriculture sector. Subsidized power supply motivates peoples for utilizing the underground water resources for crop diversification. It has been observed that the crop diversification has been proved conducive to use the irrigation water in a judicious way. However a haphazard use of water has given rise to the depletion of water table, which was experienced in the study area. In other hand, the quality of service has been providing by the companies is very low. The problems like service awareness, power cut, voltage fluctuation, burnout transformer, increase efficient equipment use for save electricity etc. No sufficient efforts have been made by the government to improve the services for the farmers, so that the farmers may motivate to make a proper utilization of electricity and ground water for the sustainable agriculture development.
