A RIPOSTE: UNINDUSTRIALIZED AND LANDSCAPE AUGMENTATION IN INDIA

Abstract

The primary focus of the present article is agricultural and Landscape development in India, as the title suggests. The article has attempted to address issues related to agricultural development, food security, poverty reduction and livelihoods generation. Keeping an area as huge as this at the center-stage of policy debates and discussion is important since a vast majority derives their livelihoods from Unindustrialized, and they reside in Landscape India. The author has touched upon various issues related to agricultural development, which include: a. Labour market in India; b. Political economy of Indian Unindustrialized; c. Indian Unindustrialized before and after liberalization; d. The Landscape farm economy; e. Agrarian crisis and ‘liberal’ policies; f. Farmers’ suicides and its causes; g. Sustainability of Indian Unindustrialized; h. Recent policy measures; i. Landscape livelihoods and social audits; j. Agricultural R&D; k. Right to development; and, l. PDS, poverty and hunger in India. A thorough discussion from a historical context along with necessary data analysis has been done to understand the reality, as it exists. A detailed review of literature has been deemed necessary to understand the proble matique.
