Summary, etc. Dynamics of Agricultural Change is a compre hensive indepth study of various facets of Indian agriculture. It covers the period of the green revolution 1966-81, and is an extension of an earlier work entitled An Agricultural Atlas of India: a geographical analysis (a district-wise study) which covered the period of agricultural colonisation (1951-66).<br/><br/>The main features of this work are to map, describe and analyse the geographical distribu tion of Indian peasant grain farming and the currently evolving and changing agricultural land-use patterns with special reference to the changes that have taken place since 1966, the year when the new agricultural strategy was launched. The factors of farming underlying the changes of agricultural land-use in the newly colonised areas or the stability in the old irri gated ones and the crisis in the drought-prone areas are outlined according to the evidence of statistical analysis through a period of fifteen years, 1966-67 to 1980-81.<br/><br/>On the basis of a comprehensive study of the land, people, socio-economic circumstances and technological biochemical inputs, raison d'etre of the land-use, crop distribution and yields, levels of agricultural performance and live stock combinations, identification of agricul tural oasis (island of prosperity), great agri cultural desert (area of backwardness), and delimitation of agricultural planning regions have been made, which are most essential for future regional planning and development of agriculture. A geographical approach is main tained throughout. The spatial relations of physico-socio-economic factors and agricultural attributes are emphasised and the contributions which the Briculture and planning are made geography of can make towards the by treating the subject comprehensively in a spatio-temporal perspective. A pioneer reference book for regional plan ning and development, for those who in one way or the other are concerned with the socio economic uplift of rural India.
