Many Acts related to Agricultural and its activities like production, marketing, land conservation and holdings, imports/exports etc. were passed during English Period and thereafter in Independent India from time to time. Many amendments and repealing of Acts also did take place, as and when need arised. There was a great need that all the Acts passed by Central and State Governments related to agriculture be available at one place in the shape of book/encyclopaedia, but it was not available. The present encyclopaedia contains the Central Acts are listed in Volume 1 to 4 in a chronological order year-wise with further classification that Acts and related amended Act/rules/regulations/order/policy are listed simultaneously.
