Abstract
Agriculture is the largest and most important sector of the Indian economy which is directly linked with the infrastructure facility. It plays a prominent role in providing food to the nation, employment to the people, raw materials to the industrial sector and surplus for national economic development. A good infrastructure facility is helpful in accessing market of agricultural product and raw material from form to non-form sector and huge employment opportunity to masses. However, what is worse is the growth of agriculture is not satisfactory and it varies across the region. On the other hand, the problem of disparity is crucial in larger states, in comparison to smaller state, and it is very intricate in a state like Uttar Pradesh, which is one of the most populous states of India. The factor analysis shows that high concentration exists in western region in both agriculture as well as infrastructure sectors. The region, Bundelkhand, is very backward in terms of agricultural development and infrastructure except two districts Jhansi and Jalaun are high developed in infrastructure. This empirical evidence indicates that there is a very high degree of correlation between infrastructure facility and agricultural development.
