Department of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare

Various agricultural development programmes in the state started from the 2nd Five Year Plan onwards although some preparatory efforts were initiated during the 1st Five Year Plan Period. Before 1950, the developmental activities of Agriculture, Animal husbandry and Fisheries were being looked after centrally by agriculture through a small set up headed by one Superintendent. Subsequently, Animal Husbandry and Fishery were separated from Agriculture. 

A Director of Agriculture was first appointed during 1959. In 1963, expansion of Agriculture was done through constitution of 3 (three) separate zones namely Central, North and South with head quarter at Agartala, Dharmanagar and Udaipur respectively. Again in 1970, all the three zones were declared as district Office headed by Dy. Director of Agriculture. During the later part of 1973, for more effective implementation of the departmental activities at all level, 10 (Ten) Agri. 

Sub-divisions were created headed by the one Superintendent of Agriculture in each Agri. Sub-Division and subsequently in 1983, 7 (Seven) more Agri. sub-Divisions were created. Thus the department was expanded from time to time.
