For government

A reference on contemporary Indian agricultural governance.

How welfare delivery, markets, finance, infrastructure, technology and federal implementation fit together, and where they strain. Written for those who design and deliver agricultural policy.

How the book connects the system

Six domains, read together.

Agricultural outcomes depend on how these domains interact. The book examines each one, and the joins between them.

Welfare delivery

PM-KISAN, crop insurance and direct benefit transfer as a floor under the farm household, and what coverage and claims data reveal about delivery.

Markets

MSP, procurement, e-NAM and market reform, including the lessons of the 2020–21 farm Acts.

Finance

Kisan Credit Cards, interest subvention and the Agriculture Infrastructure Fund: how formal credit reaches, or misses, the smallholder.

Infrastructure

Irrigation, storage, cold chains and logistics as instruments of income policy.

Technology

JAM, AgriStack, digital crop surveys, drones and AI advisory, and the governance questions they raise.

Federal implementation

Agriculture as a State subject: centre–state coordination, and why implementation capacity decides outcomes.
