By: Bodh,P.C.
Publisher: New York Routledge 2019Description: xiv,270p.ISBN: 9780367374907.Subject(s): Agriculture -- Farms, Small -- Farmers--Suicidal behaviour -- Farmers--Social conditions -- IndiaDDC classification: 362.28088630954 Summary: This book locates the malignant causes behind the factors leading to farmers’ suicides in India. It argues that not only a combination of innovative managerial and economic policies is required to make farming profitable, but also food Production within the carrying capacity of the soil, water, forests and economic and social resources must still be maintained. It brings together diverse themes, such as farming development and suicide statistics, as well as the developmental inertia evident in farmers’ welfare policy history. The book stresses the need to go beyond the narrow crop economics of minimum support price utility and towards recognizing the farm household economic nature of farming, reinventing the uniqueness of farmers as a productive Class engaged in converting cosmic elements into food and adopting the budgetary support approach to bail out the farmers from the suicidal, debt-multiplying, production support approach. Lucid and topical, this book will be useful to scholars and researchers of political studies, political sociology, agricultural economics, political economy, public policy, sociology, agrarian and rural development studies, as also to policy analysts, governmental bodies and Civil society activists.| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
