Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and the Peasant Movement
In 1930, After The Commencement Of The Salt Satyagraha, A Peasant Agitation In An Organised Manner Was Started In U.P. By Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru, Which Provided Enormous Strength To The Civil Disobedience Movement. The Agitation Contributed In Two Ways To The Civil Disobedience Movement. In The First Place It Contri¬Buted In Creating An Awakening Among The Farmers Of India And Infused New Life Into Them. In The Second Place The Struggle, Launched By Nehru, Strengthened The C.D.M. It Was This Awakening Which Made The Farmers Fearless In Their Relations With Zamindars, Taluqdars, Police And Officials And Ultimately It Brought About A Gradual Decline In The Injus¬Tices And Cruelties Committed Against The Farmers By The Landlords And Others. It Was This Agitation Which Laid The Foundation For The Abolition Of The Zamindari System. The Present Volume Will Help In A Modest Way In Augmenting The Treasure House Of Knowledge For The Political, Social, Economic And Historical Forces Of The Times Because All Important Literature Relating To The Work, Activities And Thinking Of Pt. Nehru During The Peasant Agitation Has Been Incorpora¬Ted In This Book.
"As a husband I will love, lead, and provide"
Improving women’s access to land is high on the agricultural policy agenda of both governmental and non-governmental agencies. Yet, the determinants and rationale of gendered access to land are not well understood. This paper argues that gender relations are more than the outcomes of negotiations within households. It explains the importance of social norms, perceptions, and formal and informal rules shaping access to land for male and female farmers at four levels: (1) the household/family, (2) the community, (3) the state, and (4) the market. The framework is applied to Ghana. Norms on household and family organization and on men’s and women’s responsibilities and capabilities play a...

“SCATTERED” is a captivating collection of English poems that delve deep into the myriad emotions of the human experience. Poems in SCATTERED are humane and mostly dwell inward rather than outward on philosophical, psychological, spiritual, social, environmental, etc. areas of our lives. The various aspects of life are the subject matters of the poems in the book and SCATTERED has nothing to do with any particular person, animal, or thing. The nature of the poems are universal subjects common to every man, woman, animal, plant, and other living/non-living components of our beautiful world. You will find that the language of the poems is lucid and the words used are mostly simple and commonly used in daily communication. Everything in these poems is nothing but the emotions, thought processes, and concerns of us all based on my personal experience and thinking. The poems are based on triggering moments, emotions, incidents, and observations and are written spontaneously.

Advances in Materials Research
This book comprises select peer-reviewed proceedings of the International Conference on Advances in Materials Research (ICAMR 2019). The contents cover latest research in materials and their applications relevant to composites, metals, alloys, polymers, energy and phase change. The indigenous properties of materials including mechanical, electrical, thermal, optical, chemical and biological functions are discussed. The book also elaborates the properties and performance enhancement and/or deterioration in order of the modifications in atomic particles and structure. This book will be useful for both students and professionals interested in the development and applications of advanced materials.
Entitlement fetching or snatching? Effects of arbitrage on India’s public distribution system
Would households be able to buy more subsidized grains from a food-based safety-net program if the difference between prices in the program and in the open market were to increase? This is an important question for safety-net programs anywhere in the world, but particularly so for the public distribution system (PDS) of grains in India—the largest food-based safety-net program in the world. The standard economic intuition suggests that price controls distort signals and create incentives for unintended transactions. Price difference between the PDS and the open market compromise entitlements and divert grains to open markets—an entitlement-snatching effect. Drèze and Sen (2013), however...
Changing preferences through experimental games
Much policy interest in sanitation and hygiene promotion focuses on changing behavior and increasing demand for these goods. Yet the effectiveness of large-scale interventions has been mixed, in large part because of the difficulty of changing attitudes on deeply rooted behaviors. This study tests whether an experiential learning exercise structured around an experimental game can be used to shift preferences around sanitation and hygiene. A minimum coordination game is adapted to the sanitation and hygiene setting by linking game choices to real-world investment decisions and payoffs in terms of health and status. Individuals from 20 villages in rural Tamil Nadu were randomly assigned to on...
Perspectives on the role of the state in economic development: Taking stock of the “Developmental State” after 35 years
This review evaluates the role of the state in development, offering a new framework for understanding what capabilities states need to overcome different types of market failures. This framework is employed to understand the successes and failures of state-led development in Malaysia. The review addresses three key questions. First, what do we know about developmental states and why they emerged? Second, what have developmental states achieved? In answering this question, I look not only at growth but also at structural transformation, economic “upgrading,” equity, and human capability enhancement. In contrast to the idea of a single “East Asian model” of development, I find five di...
Does female labor scarcity encourage innovation?
Facing scarcity of a production factor, a firm can develop technologies to either substitute the scarce factor (price effect) or complement the more abundant factors (market size effect). Whether the market size effect or the price effect dominates largely depends on the elasticity of substitution among factors according to the theory of directed technical change. However, it is a great challenge to empirically test the theory because factor prices are often endogenously determined. In this paper, we use imbalanced sex ratios across Chinese provinces as a source of identification strategy to test how female labor scarcity affects corporate innovation based on the matched dataset of annual su...
Harnessing net primary productivity data for monitoring sustainable development of agriculture
This study was undertaken to assess the utility of remotely sensed net primary productivity (NPP) data to measure agricultural sustainability by applying a new methodology that captures spatial variability and trends in total NPP and in NPP removed at harvest. The sustainable intensification of agriculture is widely promoted as a means for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and transitioning toward a more productive, sustainable, and inclusive agriculture, particularity in fragile environments. Yet critics claim that the 17 SDGs and 169 targets are immeasurable and unmanageable. We propose adoption of satellite-estimated, time-series NPP data to monitor agricultural intensifi...
