India's successive Five-Year Plans have sought to balance agricultural growth with social justice. This paper reviews the history and components of this problem and proposes a strategy to alleviate it.

Concluding chapters are devoted to the institutional and agricultural planning and implementation reforms needed to make the strategy a success. A 5-page bibliography and remarks on Indian agr

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate.
Axis: years in documents. The start year comes from design document year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
A few documents to read first. Each opens in the side panel, with the PDF to download.
