Popis:	The present study analysed the effect of rural infrastructure on agricultural development in the southern Indian state of Karnataka. The study used district-level data for 30 years period and employed infrastructure availability and utilisation framework to examine the relationship between the rural infrastructure and agricultural development. The regression analysis showed that infrastructure availability index and infrastructure utilisation index had positive and significant effect on agricultural productivity growth. The effect of infrastructure utilisation on productivity growth seemed to be higher than that of infrastructure availability. Further, the combined effect of availability and utilisation of infrastructure had larger effect on agricultural productivity. The analysis of spatial convergence of agricultural productivity growth showed that districts converge in land productivity over time.
