Agriculture forms the backbone of India economy and its dominating position in the national economy can be judged from the fat that it contributes a major share of national income and provides livelihood to over seventy per cent of the population. This sector fulfils the food requirement of rapidly growing population and supplies manpower and raw material to India’s leading industries. Dynamics of agricultural development covers all the major aspects of agriculture. Volume I of the work highlights the impact of institutional changes on agricultural development in terms of various land reforms initiated by the Indian Government after independence. Suggestions for the proper implementation of the reforms in various states of the country have been made. Volume II emphasises on sustainability of agricultural development, farm sector sustainability of agricultural development farm sector reorganisation for agricultural growth and its optimal productivity etc. Volume III deals with the important issues relating to agricultural policy and planning adopted by the Indian Government since independence. It also deals with the importance of liberalisation and recently GATT (WTO) agreement on Indian agriculture. Apart from economists interested in agricultural development in Third World countries, the publication caters to the recently prepared revised syllabus of agricultural economics for post-graduate classes. The book would be of immense use to the students, teachers, researchers and policy makers in India as well as abroad.
