        abstract = {Telangana state is the 11thlargest state in the country with a geographical area of 112.08 lakh hectares. Out of which 52.88% area is under cultivation and around 24.70% is under forest area. In the global scenario, agriculture and allied sectors are facing two major constraints. One constraint is, to secure future alliances about prospects of sustainable agriculture to the farmer and another constraint is the enormous rate of increasing population demands on food security. Scientists are tirelessly executing their applied and need-based research to fill the gap between these two diversified ends. Telangana State Govt. supported this noble cause and implemented various new schemes and initiatives in agriculture and allied sectors like Rythu Bandhu, Crop loan, and Rythu Bima, improving old irrigation infrastructure, construction of new irrigation projects likeKaleshwaram, Kalwakurthy, Palamuru–Rangareddy, Seethe-Rama, Dindi lift irrigation projects etc., and Mission Kakatiya scheme for renovating of minor irrigation tanks, 24x7 free powers to agriculture and efficient use of land utility through crop diversification. Because of such varied policies and schemes implemented by the Telangana state govt., there is a significant change in the agricultural sector, in the newly formed Telangana state. The Gross Sown Area (GSA) increased from 131 lakh acres in 2015 to 198 lakh acres in 2022 with a net increase of 51%. In Telangana, the agricultural sector is the major contributor to the Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) growth of 186%. Telangana surpassed all of the neighbouring southern states and achieved top rank in terms of the average growth rate of GSDP. In a paddy production Telangana state has emerged as a key paddy producing state in the country.  Telangana’s rice production has risen from 29 lakh tons in 2015-16 to 2.3 crore tons in 2020-21.
This study is based on secondary data for a period of 8 years from 2014-15 to 2022. The secondary data obtained from various government websites, annual reports of agricultural department, Telangana state socio-economic outlook-2023, Telangana at a glance,directorate of economics and statistics.This study mainly focuses on land usage through crop diversification, improving old irrigation infrastructure, creating new irrigation aspects, animal husbandry, and cultivation of major crops like Paddy, Cotton, Maize, Redgram, and Groundnut in Telangana before and after State formation during the period of 2015 to 2022.},
