Divided into three parts - Rationale and Extent of Agricultural
Diversification, Nature and Problems of Agricultural
Diversification, and Food and Livelihood Security through
Agricultural Diversification, this edited book examines various
aspects of agricultural diversification in Eastern India. In recent
years, Indian agriculture has been diversifying from cereals to
high-value crops and livestock products in accordance with the
changing consumption patterns. As such, it faces the challenges of
a new economic regime, besides the usual problems of rising
population, unemployment and poverty, declining investments in the
agriculture sector and degradation of natural resources. These
issues are discussed in the book in light of the significant
transformation in the economic structure of the Indian economy from
agriculture to non-agriculture (industry and services) and changing
cropping pattern from cereals to non-cereals, in accordance with
the changing consumption pattern. The book would be of interest to
teachers, researchers, policymakers, students and general readers
having an interest in agricultural development in India.
Upon the backdrop of impressive progress made by the Indian economy
during the last two decades after the large-scale economic reforms
in the early 1990s, this book evaluates the performance of the
economy on some income and non-income dimensions of development at
the national, state and sectoral levels. It examines regional
economic growth and inequality in income originating from
agriculture, industry and services. In view of the importance of
the agricultural sector, despite its declining share in gross
domestic product, it evaluates the performance of agricultural
production and the impact of agricultural reforms on spatial
integration of food grain markets. It studies rural poverty,
analyzing the trend in employment, the trickle-down process and the
inclusiveness of growth in rural India. It also evaluates the
impact of microfinance, as an instrument of financial inclusion, on
the socio-economic conditions of rural households. Lastly, it
examines the relative performance of fifteen major states of India
in terms of education, health and human development. An important
feature of the book is that it approaches these issues, applying
rigorously advanced econometric methods, and focusing primarily on
their regional disparities during the post-reform period vis-a-vis
the pre-reform period. It offers important results to guide
policies for future development.
