Abstract
Agriculture plays a key role in the development of any region. The development of human civilization was possible only after the mankind started agriculture. However the growth of agriculture in a particular region differs based on climate, soil, rainfall and proper agricultural practices over a period of time. The present study attempts to highlight the development of agriculture in the study area during the last 20 years. Attempts are also made to find out the effect of modern agriculture on ecology and to identify the effect of environmental changes on agricultural crops (Kumar et al., 2018; Kumar et al., 2020). During present studies two parameters have been considered, i.e., (i) agriculture development based variables and (ii) social development based variables. Charkhi Dadri District is one of the 22 districts of Haryana state in northern India. District Charkhi Dadri is located 112.6 km of India’s capital New Delhi and 295 km of Haryana capital Chandigarh. Charki Dadri comprises of two sub-divisions (Charkhi Dadri and Badhra) and two tehsils (Charkhi Dadri and Badhra) and one sub-tehsil (Bond kalan). District Charkhi Dadri is located between 28.5921?N Latitude and 76.2653?E Longitude respectively (https://charkhidadri.gov.in/).
