The semi feudal land relations on one side and green revolution lead capitalization of agriculture have had acted and counteracted on land distribution to the landless. From the days of Srikakulam uprise, the left and extremist organizations have been on fore-front to voice their protest against large scale concentration of land holdings in a few hands.

However, the globalization and its constituent liberalization and privatization have transformed the village economic set up drastically that there is a virtual transfer of land asset from forward castes to backward class communities and there emerged a neo-rich class in rural economy. Land transfers infact are part of rural transformation.

The present book looks into land transfers in a district of Andhra Pradesh. Two villages of khammam district were studied on sample basis to analyse the dynamics of land transfers.

First chapter devoted to introduce the problem with the help of earlier analytical studies. It proposes its objectives and the methodology adopted to forward further.

Second chapter gives a detailed account of topography, historical and socio-economic structure of the area chosen for the study. A glimpse into this chapter gives you the bird?s eye view of the khammam district.

The third chapter deals with socio-economic status of the target group of the study. It shows and substantiates the macro level picture of village economy of the country.

Social categorization, the structure of landed property of the sample gives you an insight of the composition of village economy and how the subsequent study has been built. The way the land transfers were taken place in the study villages, who sold out and who purchased the land has been discussed at length with the help of facts and figures arrived at the field study in the fourth chapter.

The fifth chapter is based on comparative look into the transformation that has taken place in two study villages. This encompasses the strength and weakness of the land transformation and to propose alternative measures to sustain the transformation for the benefit of poor landless, who constitute in major change in rural India.

The impacts of land transfer naturally have to be counted with a positive note. Usually with transfer of land from big owners to lower classes increases the section of marginal farmers and then small farmers.

It is definitely an answer to the long lasting land struggles across the country. However, this change has to be tapped in better way with pro-poor farmer strategies.

All this has been given in the Sixth chapter. The last and Seventh chapter has put forth valid suggestions in rural economy in terms of land distribution.

At the end the book sparks few thoughts and many ideas to uplift the poor peasantry and landless labor of rural India (less)

In the early days of industrialization, Indian employers essentially dictated the type of industrial relations they desired, which led to the exploitative employment practices. Today, Industrial relations in India stand regulated by the state.

The directive principles of state policy place upon the government the responsibility of securing, by legislation or economic measures, or any other way, to all workers, industrial or otherwise, work, living wages, conditions of work ensuring a decent standard of life. There is a direct linkage between Industrial Discipline, the Industrial Relations and Industrial Productivity.

Indiscipline, per se, is at times cause for poor Industrial Relations and at times effect of poor Industrial Relations. In either case, it hampers Industrial peace and harmony, which is the prerequisite not only (less)

But the remaining three options, diplomacy, economic development and cultural status have proved to be quite useful. Bhutan, in fact has utilised the above three options to the maximum extent to formulate its own Foreign Policy.
