The deadly virus which is invisible by naked eyes has just put the whole world in a very helpless situation. Man is struggling hard to save his life from this invisible foe and is under constant fear and anxiety. The virus has questioned our preparedness and progress in the field of medical sciences. However, it is not for the first time in the history of mankind that a pandemic has forced man to think about the whole scenario he is going through. Earlier also, there have been pandemics which claimed millions of lives throughout the world. This COVID-19, like other pandemics in the history, has posed a question: What is the cause of this difficult time and the possible way out?

Before attempting a discussion on the land policy or economic policy of the British, it is necessary to study in brief about the land policy, which was in vogue before their advent. There was village community in Haryana instead of Zamindar, which held the entire village land in common. The Muqaddams, the managers and leaders of the villages adjusted the quota of each sharer and collected the governments share and deposited it in the government treasury through the agency of the Qanungo, the lowest government official deputed to collect revenues of a Pargana. It is very difficult to calculate the Government's share of revenue collected by the Muqaddam, as it varied from place to place and time to time, because of its geographical condition. But in any case the Government's assessment (Jama) in those days never exceeded from 1/6 to 1/4 of the gross produce. At many times, especially during the Mughal era, the collection (Hasil) made were less than these rates. In Akbar's reign the Hasil of a Jagir in Sunam (Hissar) was many times less than its Jama. During the reign of Shahjhan and Aurangzeb the same practice was followed. ‘On the other hand ’, says Irfan Habib, the difference between them was recognized for a fact and the annually changing ratio between the receipts and the standing assessment was marked out for each Mahal (village) and expressed in terms of month-proportions (Mahawar). Thus where the current Hasil equaled half Jama, the Jagir was styled ‘six monthly ’(Shahmaha), where it was one fourth, ‘three monthly ’(Sihmaha) and so on. After the death of Aurangzeb, even this practice could not continue and the people hardly paid any revenue at all unless forced to do so militarily.

The study try to analyse that why the rice production and productivity has been become unsustainable in Himachal Pradesh for last three decades. The whole study period was from 1990–91 to 2019–20., which was further divided into two sub study periods, where the first sub period was started from 1990–91 to 2004–05 and the second period was from 2004–05 to 2019–20. Whole the study period was 30 years and two sub-study periods was 15 years each. It was revails from the study that adverse trend in state area and production for rice was emerged during the overall study period. It was due to the diversion of area from these crops to more remunerative crops which showed a fairly high growth rates in area during the first and second period. The performance of Himachal Pradesh's agriculture revealed that it was a downward movement in yield growth in majority of crops, which was instrumental in inducting the transition toward unsustainable growth path. From the policy perspective, it is more important to understand the further that lead to the process of unsustainable agricultural development. These factors operate at different levels viz. growth, stability, efficiency and equity.
