Dr. M.V. Nadkarni is one of our competent and perceptive observers of the rural scene. He has done well to exploit the opportunity of making a benchmark study to gibe a comparative appraisal of three major strategies of rural development in drought prone areas irrigation, animal husbandry and rural industry. Prof. Nadkarni has identified several backlash effects or opportunity costs of irrigation, which bring down the overall impact of irrigation. No irrigation administrator can afford to ignore these negative effects, if irrigation has to make an optimal impact. It is interesting that Prof. Nadkarni has ingeniously used the method of cross section comparison of villages at different levels of development and environmental conditions, to probe into the dynamics of the process of overcoming drought proneness and poverty. He has explained how the phenomenon of poverty or inequality undergoes qualitative changes in this process, and how even when absolute poverty is reduced, inequality increases. I am happy that Prof. Nadkarni has continued his interest in the problems of drought prone areas. He has already contributed to a better understanding in this field through his earlier work on the impact of droughts and on growth and instability in agriculture. With this study, he has further taken an important stride in this field.I wish this book a good reception which it well deserves.ISBN:8170220998
