Net returns of hybrid and conventional varieties of rice were analyzed in the present study. The sample

and 49077.23 rupees respectively. The total costs per acre for hybrid, basmati and irri rice were
calculated to be 48506.34, 39391.87 and 37394.97 rupees respectively. The net returns per acre for
hybrid, basmati and irri rice were 29467.63, 16210.28 and 11682.26 rupees respectively. The average
