Agricultural growth is a crucial element in resolving food price crises, enhancing food security, and accelerating pro-poor growth. After decades of policy neglect and underinvestment in public goods such as agricultural science, rural infrastructure, and information and monitoring, high food prices have provided some positive incentives for policymakers, farmers, and investors to increase agricultural productivity. By the end of the year 2008-2009, the global crisis had taken a substantial toll of India's economic performance but it was by no means catastrophic. The rate of economic growth had slowed to the 5-6% range in the second half of the year from the 9% average of the previous five years, but it was still much better than the negative growth rates in industrial countries and better than the performance of most significant developing countries with the exception of China.However, with the sudden shrinkage in world trade after September 2008, India's exports in January-Mary, 2009 were about 20% lower than in the previous year. This meant that hundreds of thousands of jobs were lost in sectors like garments, textiles, footwear and leather products and gems and jewellery. This paper try to answer the following questions: How did this global crisis come about? How severe is it and how long might it last? And against the backdrop of this world crisis, what are some of the priorities for India's agricultural sector.To conclude, the unprecedented global economic crisis has definitely taken a toll of India's economic performance. Most likely it has also reduced our potential for economic development in the next 3 or 4 years. However, despite the severity of the global crisis, India's economy has demonstrated considerable resilience, in part, thanks to the strength of our agricultural sector. With sound and determined economic policies we should be able to recover a growth momentum of 7-7.5% in a year or two. That will be a little less than our growth performance in 2003-2008. But it will be far better than nearly every other significant economy in today's world.

Those who want to be our rulers have to provide food to all citizens at reasonably affordable prices as well as to ensure that those who produce food have reasonable dividends for their products and labour. If there is rural indebtedness, then a solution has to be found; if there is a surplus production, then the farmers must not be made to incur a loss; if there is a shortage of pulses, wheat, or rice then the government must import, whatever the cost. Different players, internal and external, with different and varying assets, potential, resources and capacities compete to hijack the governmental policies in their favour. This is the basic stuff of political economy. Politicians and policy-advocates are battling in a game over which they do not have total control. The consequences are uneven, sometime even cruel. Mohan Guruswamy and his two colleagues have competently tried to cut through a very difficult and vex-atious subject, giving the trade-off involved in various choices. This study should stimulate an informed debate. From the Foreword by Harish Khare (The Hindu)

This book is a collection of fifteen contributions that undertake a detailed analysis of seven broad dimensions of India’s economy and society. All the contributions approach the problems in their respective areas empirically, while being theoretically informed. The book begins with a section containing detailed and empirically supported chapters on the recent crisis in India’s agricultural sector and the reforms in the agricultural markets. Another section is dedicated to the issue of infrastructure financing, and new ways of financing large infrastructural projects are critically examined. Other sections are related to innovations and technology impacts on industry; international trade; health and education; labor and employment; and the very important issue of gender. The selected discussion topics are both of contemporary importance and expected to remain so for some time. Most of the chapters introduce readers to data in addition to methods of analyzing this data, to arrive at policy-oriented conclusions. The rich collection carries learnings for researchers working on a wide range of topics related to development studies, as well as for policymakers and corporate watchers.

From a country plagued with chronic food shortage, the Green Revolution turned India into a food-grain self-sufficient nation within the decade of 1968-1978. By contrast, the decade of 1995-2005 witnessed a spate in suicides among farmers in many parts of the country. These tragic incidents were symptomatic of the severe stress and strain that the agriculture sector had meanwhile accumulated. The book recounts how the high achievements of the Green Revolution had overgrown to a state of this ‘agrarian crisis’. In the process, it also brings to fore the underlying resilience and innovativeness in the sector which enabled it not just to survive through the crisis but to evolve and revive out of it. The need of the hour is to create an environment that will enable the sector to acquire the robustness to contend with the challenges of lifting levels of farm income and coping with Climate Change. To this end, a multi-pronged intervention strategy has been suggested. Reviving public investment in irrigation, tuning agrarian institutions to the changed context, strengthening of market institution for better farm-market linkage and financial access of farmers, and preparing the ground for ushering in technological innovations should form the major components of this policy paradigm.
