It has great potential for those, who are interested in the spatial distribution of agricultural system. Now the major trust of agriculture geography is on the description, interpretation and explanation of spatial variations of land use, cropping pattern, crop combination, agricultural productivity, agricultural realisation and regional inequalities in agricultural efficiency with the set objective to formulate strategies for the planning and development of agriculture, agro industry and backward areas of the world as well as India. Important Features • Documented with five dozen figures and tables. • Matter is placed in scientific and logical manner. • Subject matter related to agricultural based areas dealt in general and Vaishali region in particular. • Review of the literature, conceptual word and theme related to geography as well as agricultural geography and backward developing areas have been comprehensively explained and placed thoroughly. • It has been elaborates that how backward and developing areas' regional development and agro industrial activities relates and correlates each other and how positive correlation possible between these two aspect ? • Structure of agro industrial activities in a backward area and local participation in these activities is important for the development of a backward or developing area or a region. Which system should apply? It has explained enlarge in the reference of agricultural characteristics of Vaishali. • Potentiality of local agricultural resources examined very well, on which every developmental system depends. • It has been found that without the development of infrastructural network, agro industrial and backward as well as developing area development has never been possible either in third-world countries or developing countries.

India Is One Of The Countries Which Looks Upon Industrial Development As The Golden Means For Improving The Living Standards Of Her Teeming Millions. Why India Lags Behind In Industrial Development In Spite Of The Strenuous Efforts Made Under Successive Efforts Made Under Successive Plans Since Independence, Is A Question Asked Both By The Scholars And Ordinary People Alike. In Culture And Industrial Development: The Indian Experience, The Author Makes An Earnest Attempt To Uncover How Culture Matters In Industrial Development By Examining The Indian Experience. The Thrust Of The Study Is To Examine The Whole Process Of Industrial Development By Focusing On The Entrepreneur And The Industrial Worker, The Two Human Agents Involved In Industrial Activities. While Entrepreneurial Activities Were Growing At A Niggardly Rate During The Pre-Independence Period Apparently On Account Of The Absence Of Any Mercantile Tradition, The Entry Of The State As An Entrepreneur Has Been Detrimental To An Upsurge In Entrepreneurial Development During The Post-Independence Period. Marxian Ideology, Which Became The Accepted Creed With A Sizable Section Of The People In States Like Kerala And West Bengal, Has Been Obstructing The Growth Of Industrial Ventures Under Private Enterprise By Creating An Unfriendly Environment. To The Indian Tradition Relating To Work Which Is Termed As Aram , Meaning Rest And Relaxation, Militancy Also Has Been Added As Another Component In The Behavioural Pattern Especially With The Organized Labour Since Independence. Needless To Say, Such Behavioural Pattern Also Stands In The Way Of Any Orderly Development Of Industries. In Sum Dr. Joseph Presents An Array Of Facts And Figures Gathered From The Indian Experience To Uncover How Development Resistant Elements Of Culture Thwart The Process Of Industrialization Of Any Country.

The alternative hypotheses about the macroeconomic determinants of, and constraints on, industrial growth in India focus on the performance of the agricultural sector, intersectoral terms of trade between agriculture and industry, disproportionalities within and between sectors, the level of investment in the economy, the nexus between public and private investment and the relative significance of supply and demand constraints. While the issues raised in the debate continue to be important in India, they are of relevance also for studies of other late-industrialisers, particularly the larger countries of Asia and Latin America.

This book looks at the debates on global value chains (GVCs) and free trade agreements (FTAs) as springboards for industrial development in developing countries, especially India. It connects the outcomes in GVC-led industrial restructuring and upgrading to industrial policy choices in trade and FDI liberalisation, in particular those through FTAs. With the share of manufacturing in GDP stagnant at around 15–16% since the 1980s, India’s policymakers have pinned their hopes on greater integration into GVCs to revitalise the manufacturing sector. The multiple FTAs the country has signed over the last few years, specifically the ones with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), South Korea, Malaysia and Japan have been sought to be rationalised using the same argument. The book argues that failing to factor in the industrial policy causalities involved in sustainable indigenous technology development, structural barriers to the entry into GVCs, the assessments of the available evidence on the adverse impact of trade and FDI liberalisation as well as existing FTAs on firm-level incentives for undertaking domestic production, and the industrial policy constraints imposed by FTAs can prove costly for the trajectories of developing country economies, including India. Rich in data, this book will be useful to scholars and researchers of development economics, economics in general, development studies and public policy as well as government bodies, industry experts and policymakers.
