The community development programme which was launched in 1952 in Himachal, in
certain selected areas was later extended to the entire rural Himachal.
In Mandi and Kangra, package programmes were undertaken in collaboration with
the West Germany for popularising modern techniques of cultivation among the
farmers. Suitable agricultural machinery and animal husbandry were introduced in
these areas. Well equipped soil testing laboratories, dairy farms and agricultural
workshops were set up at various centres, besides an Agriculture University
at Palampur.
Himachal is one of those states in India which was rapidly transformed from the most
backward part of the country to one of the most advanced states. At present Himachal
ranks fourth in respect of per capita income among the states of the Indian Union.
