Post stratified crop yield estimators at block level in hisar district of haryana (india)

General crop yield estimation surveys are conducted throughout the country for estimating crop yield of all major crops. The direct estimates at national as well state level are almost reliable, as the estimator's sampling error is within 5 percent, but not true at lower levels. However, demands for reliable small area statistics (district, sub district, village level) are increasing both from public and private sectors with growing concerns of governments relating to issues of distribution, equity and disparity. In the present study small area estimates at block level for the Hisar district, Haryana, India, for the period 2018-2019 were developed using crop yield data based on stratification with the use of auxiliary information's including satellite data.
