‘For them farming may be the last resort, but for us it is a new hope’
Based on an empirical exercise carried out in five villages of Odisha in eastern India, the paper looks into ageing of the farm population and the experiences and responses of farmers of various age groups to farming. The findings of the study indicate that agriculture is greying, farmers are getting older and the youth, particularly of higher and cultivating castes, are averse to farming. The unwillingness of these youths to join farming is main…
Untangling the factors influencing finger millet production
Our study focuses on the effect of agro-based factors and human development indicators on the production of finger millet in eight states of India. Departing from the past studies, we employed the common and dynamic common correlated effects model, and our findings showed that the past year's finger millet production, productivity, area under finger millet production, rainfall and human development indicators positively influenced the finger mill…
Critical Perspectives on Agrarian Transition
The Poser Universalising and Indigenising Social Knowledge
Imperial Solution of a Colonial Problem
Khandesh region in Maharashtra is an extensive plain interspersed with ranges of hills. It is nearly surrounded by broad chains of mountains covered with vegetation. It was inhabited by the Bhils. They lived in hovels which often crested the tops of isolated hills where approach was immediately discovered and easily defended. They shifted to new habitats after a few weeks or months. Turbulent by disposition and skilful hunters by necessity, they …
We are Like the Living Dead
Findings presented here about farmer suicides in Amravati and Yavatmal districts, Maharashtra, are evaluated in relation to Durkheimian theory, which attributes such acts to an historically specific combination of social and economic causes. Lower and middle caste peasant smallholders found themselves trapped between enhanced aspirations generated by land reform and other post-1947 measures, and the reality of neoliberalism (rising debt, declinin…
Agricultural modernization in rural Maharashtra
In the post-Independence India, systematic attempts have been made to modernize agriculture through a new strategy based on water-seed-fertilizer-technology package keeping growth and equity as the prime concern. Based on Satara which is one of the highly agricultural modernized districts of Maharashtra, the study analyses the socio-economic effects of the new measures on various categories of rural population both at the micro and macro levels. …
Agricultural Modernisation in Rural Orissa
Un examen des changements agraires a l'oeuvre dans l'Etat indien d'Orissa montre une tendance a la polarisation de la structure fonciere. Tandis que les mesures de modernisation profitent aux proprietaires les plus riches, qui consolident la valorisation de leurs terres, elles poussent les plus pauvres a vendre des terres qui n'assurent plus la securite economique. Il ne s'agit pas d'un mecanisme de libre concurrence, car il est lourdement biaise…
