India's agriculture growth after independence has moved the country from the severe food crisis of the sixties to aggregate food surplus today and rainfed agriculture has played an important role in this. In India about two third of total net sown area comes under rainfed lands. Rainfed crops account for 48 per cent area under food crops and 68 per cent under non food crops. One of the major challenges facing rainfed agriculture in India today is its sustainable development through conserving and enhancing the inherent capacity of its land and other natural resources to sustain it. Any erosion of this capacity will threaten country's food security and agriculture substantially. In order to constantly address this concern along with increasing production of food grains and other agricultural products it is necessary to enhance and conserve the stock of available land water and other natural resources and develop improved technologies which maintain and improve the productive capacity of natural resources. The papers in this volume touch upon important aspects relating to rainfed agriculture such as crop husbandry conserving land and water livestock development livelihood options in rural non farm sector and policies initiatives and institutional changes necessary for rejuvenating rainfed agriculture. The analysis and issues raised in the contributions would go a long way to put the much neglected agriculture in rainfed areas in true perspective and provide space for better policy options. 324 pp.

Das. Cultural diversity is closely linked to biodiversity. Humanity's collective knowledge of biodiversity and its use and management rests in cultural diversity conversely conserving biodiversity often helps strengthen cultural integrity beliefs and values. Task before us is to safeguard cultural and biological diversity of present and future generations. Anthropology's enduring interest in people's knowledge systems has recently attracted the attention of development policymakers and practitioners. Indigenous Knowledge has emerged with the focus on popular participation and planning from below. There is greater need to discuss the links between nature and culture and particularly to acknowledge the intangible/tangible heritage of indigenous/tribal people in the world. This volume is being brought out as a special commemorative volume during the Sixteenth World Congress of the International Union of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences (IUAES) 2009 Kunming Yunnan China 27 31 July 2009. in order to be compatible with the focal theme of Humanity Development and Cultural Diversity of the Sixteenth World Congress IUAES 2009 we have chosen the somewhat allied theme of Cultural Diversity Indigenous Knowledge and Biodiversity Conservation to bring together this special volume. In doing so our prime purpose is to present before the world anthropologists a fraction of our contribution towards understanding the larger visions of Humanity Development and Cultural Diversity. The chosen themes of Cultural Diversity Indigenous Knowledge and Biodiversity Conservation are too focused to be adequately and justifiably analyzed by the specialists in one discipline. Hence we approached the colleagues in allied disciplines. All papers focus on lone or more of the issues of the Cultural Diversity Indigenous Knowledge and Biodiversity Conservation and in doing so they are not confined to Asia/South Asia alone. 228 pp.

The Question of Development: Land Acquisition, Land Marginalisation and Proletarianisation of Peasants/Animesh Roy. Agriculture has been the main source of livelihood for millions of Indians. India is second largest producer of agriculture products. India accounts for 7.68 per cent of total global agricultural output. Contribution of agriculture sector in Indian economy is much higher than world s average (6.1%). Despite these significant figures, the status of agriculture in India has not been so encouraging in recent two-three decades. Shifting of agricultural lands due to urbanization, start of commercial cropping ventures by business houses and the recent phenomenon of drastic climatic changes have raised many questions. These factors, along with reduced benefits to farmers, have resulted in changing the agricultural fabric of the country to some extent. The small and medium agriculturists have been affected mostly due to these factors and as a result they are not willing to continue agriculture as their primary profession. Agriculture in India: Crisis and Prospects deciphers the macro and micro realities of agriculture in India. Besides an introduction by the editor, the book has thematic essays on emerging issues of farmers; to government policy and programmes; to present situation and also offers workable solutions to resuscitate the dwindling condition of agriculture. The book will be of immense interest to researchers, policy makers, planners and academic fraternity of all those interested in Indian agriculture.
