This book is based on the Ph.D. work done by the author in the Department of Economics, University of Calcutta, India. The background of the work stems from the failure of classical rural development theories like Lewis Model, Harris-Todaro model etc. The necessity of searching for an alternative rural development strategy is the main motivating force behind this study given the wide-spread poverty and inequality in rural India.
