"Recent years have witnessed a number of policy reforms in Indian agriculture, both at the national and state levels. However, it is being realised that large sections of the agricultural population have not benefited from these development initiatives.

This book documents the agricultural scenario in the semi-arid region of Rajasthan, and establishes the need for what the authors call process monitoring (PM), or the interaction and collaboration between different stakeholders; various levels of government, NGOs and farmers' groups."--BOOK JACKET.
