This book addresses various issues concerning agriculture and rural development in India, with special focus on the dignity of labour. Based on a study conducted by Dr. M.L.

It also deals with the project approach to agriculture and general development in the country.
It proposes certain plans of operation in a novel and unorthodox format, and advocates a further increase in agricultural production, use of renewable energy resources, national character building and improving national institution.
