Hence, it is crucial to check the reliability of agricultural statistics and its correct measurement in national accounts for the correct valuation of the economy. The paper discusses the evolution of National Accounts Statistics in India and its embedment with the agriculture sector. The paper further discusses the statistics related to the land use and yield of crops and, - the method and sources used to collect this data. It also discusses the gap of checking the agricultural database and the challenges in the methodology used to estimate the sector contribution in national accounts
