Abstract
The trends of composite and individual infrastructural indicators, fertilizer and HYVs have been
examined and their impacts on agricultural productivity in Uttar Pradesh have been reported. The
trend of composite infrastructure index has shown sharp fluctuations, while electrified villages and
rural roads have indicated a rising trend. The agricultural productivity and fertilizer have shown
increasing trend with marginal fluctuations, while HYVs have illustrated an increasing trend at a
decreasing rate. The impact of composite infrastructure index, fertilizer and HYVs on agricultural
productivity has been found positive and significant. Analysis of the impact of individual infrastructural
indicators has revealed that the electrified villages along with fertilizer and HYVs have positive and
significant impact, while rural roads have an insignificant impact.
