Perspectives
Poverty in developing countries is primarily a rural phenomenon and it arises because of low levels of land and labour productivity. Nowadays there are no much work on agrarian transformation and rural labor markets. With growing complexities in agrarian relations and rural labour markets, it was felt that there is a need to analyze these complexities more scientifically and systematically through an integrated approach so that appropriate policies and programmes could be formulated to suit to the needs of the farmers and rural labourers.
