The use of highly developed irrigation brings about higher production, and related investment in the irrigational framework ought to be given high priority1. Irrigation plays a direct and positive role in the productivity of any crop and forms the base of the agricultural sector. Being the primary sector, the agricultural sector is the major source of employment in the agrarian-based Indian economy and acts as a key driver of development in rural regions. Irrigation has turned into an essential part of agriculture. Of late, irrigation has turned out to be most basic aspect without which, most crops cannot be developed. Irrigation is considered basic since rainfall is variable and uneven and cannot be depended on entirely for cultivation. Indeed, even those crops, which are developed amid stormy seasons, additionally rely on irrigation since farmers attempt to irrigate the crops, so that the crops may be prepared in time and give a higher yield. If there should arise an occurrence of a disappointment of precipitation utilization of irrigation then fundamental areas growing multiple crops require escalated irrigation facilities. Self sufficiency in food, creation of marketable surplus so, as to promote agro based industrial development and also to earn foreign exchange through export of food items demand agricultural development at an accelerated rate. Removal of agricultural backwardness so, as to increase agricultural productivity is the only solution. It could be possible through sufficient irrigation facilities, henceforth irrigation is a key to agriculture development. One of the major reasons for giving much attention to irrigation is Insufficient, uncertain and irregular rains, the duration of rainfall is available to only four months in a year i.e., June to September when monsoon arrives. Remaining eight months are dry; there is some rainfall during the month of December to January in some parts of nation. Even during monsoon, the rainfall is scare and undependable in many parts of the country. Most of the time monsoons are delayed. Considerably while sometimes they cease permanently. Sufficient or proper development of irrigation facilities can helps the nation in solving the problems created by insufficient, uncertain and irregular rains with the help of irrigation, droughts and famines can be effectively controlled. Second reason is higher productivity on irrigated land, Productivity of irrigated land is considerably more than the productivity of on unirrigated land and value of land will be increased. The outline of agricultural improvement is influenced by various sources of irrigation. Agricultural progress of the farming segment is still essential not just for the quicker progression of the economy, it is additionally and all the more essential for a balanced growth. During the last twenty-five years, the share of headway of the economy has augmented; nevertheless, not in the case of agribusiness sector, consequently the energetic strength of mind for the sooner growth has been powered by the service division. This ' service sector-led growth' brought about a jobless and unband-centric kind of growth, indicating the disregarded of the rural areas of the nation. This 'growth vacuity' in the rural regions can be occupied just with the backing of agrarian development. Farming growth can wind up plainly wide-based while irrigation advancements end up plainly expanse-constructed. The source of irrigation espoused by a household be contingent upon its investment capability, nature of climate, soil, water availability, and furthermore, the nature of the crop. Therefore, for any locale, the sources of irrigation are not competitive but rather just complementary. Be that as it may, throughout the years, the source of irrigation has experienced vicissitudes which have precisely pretentious agricultural enhancement. In this strive, this study funds to bring out the protagonist of various sources of irrigation in influencing the degree and nature of agricultural growth into the variables, like cropping pattern or method, harvest and quantity produced of the crops, and grossing or income level of the cultivating (farming households) family units. It is very significant, and in addition, expected to know the role occupied by plentiful sources of irrigation so that irrigation management can be improved in a way. This will help in the wide basing of agricultural development, and accordingly, it will make the economy's improvement a great deal further all-inclusive.
