Making Goods for Villagers - Paperback

by R. K. Agnihotri (Author)

In the present book, Making Goods for Villagers, the author has propounded the view that the benefits of industrialization of the country must reach the rural masses. This is a break from the orthodox theory of rural development in which the concept of self sufficient and self reliant villages was sponsored. He has suggested that giving cash loans to the farmers is counter productive. Instead, they should be provided with credit in the form of manufactured goods which would improve their efficiency.
