Publisher's Note "Dandekar's analysis of poverty in the early seventies received wide attention going far beyond the circle of professional economists. This is even more likely to be ture of this book, which covers a broader set of issues and deals with them in a simple and comprehensible language.... A feature which students and researchers would find particularly welcome is that each chapter contains a thorough discussion of the major policy documents and committee reports starting from the beginning prior to independence to the most recent pronouncements. This a boon to readers who, on their own, are unlikely to explore the decades preceding the planning era."
Industry Reviews Dandekar (Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics) traces the development of Indian agricultural institutions, beginning with British administration. He discusses transforming traditional agriculture, research and education, food administration, agricultural marketing and prices, credit, and future agricultural policy, and offers a proposal based on integrating agricultural commodities into a single market in which prices are determined by competitive, public market processes.
