A brief introduction to the file:

The "Village Agriculture Report 2020" includes 632,583 entries detailing agricultural activities in Uttar Pradesh. Key insights reveal an average of 342 total households per village, with many lacking essential agricultural facilities. The dataset highlights the need for development in rural agricultural infrastructure.
