This book examines the effects of the pattern of growing integration between the rural and urban economies in India. Drawing on in-depth surveys conducted in villages in north India, it examines the rural agricultural economy's transformation, productivity, technology deployment, and social relations over a period of seven years. The book focuses on the socially embedded nature of the dynamics of transformation, weaving analysis around the axis of land, caste, and gender. It also identifies policy gaps and recommends steps for a sustainable and inclusive rural transformation in the Global South.

An important contribution to the study of India’s economic and social landscape, this book will be useful for scholars of agriculture, sociology, economics, political science, development studies, and South Asian studies. It will also be of interest to policymakers and journalists interested in rural development, migration, employment, agriculture, and demography.
