Economic reforms have introduced substantial changes in many sectors of the Indian economy, more particularly in the industrial trade and financial sectors. These have imparted a much-needed buoyancy to the Indian economy. However, in a country like India, success of reforms on the final count hinges on the performance of agriculture. A lot more thinking and purposeful action are needed at this stage to reinvigorate this sector.
Since agriculture is a state subject, the success in agricultural performance is crucially dependent on the policies and action initiated by he states. This is an opportune time, therefore, to give serious considerations to various facets of agriculture development in the state against the back drop of the new economic reforms pursued at the national level.
The present book thus facilitates a meaningful discussion in the relevant issues including terms of trade, external trade market and globalization, food security, price subsidies and issues in cost recovery, technological and extension and agricultural credit. It is hoped that the research papers of this book will be useful and will inevitably provoke an extensive debate on the subject.
