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.
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.
For departments, academies and policy teams.
