This book is a historical study of the development of agrarian-class relations among the tribal population in Tripura. Tracing the evolution of Tripura and its agrarian relations from monarchy in the nineteenth century to democracy in the twentieth century, the book discusses the nature of the erstwhile princely state of Tripura, analyses the emergence of differentiation within tribes, and documents the emergence of the tribal movement in the state. It specifically focuses on the tribal movement led by the Ganamukti Parishad, beginning with the historic revolt of 1948-51 against state repression on the tribal people, followed by the mass movements in the 1950s and 1960s, which were founded on a recognition of class relations and the slogan of unity across the tribal and non-tribal (Bengali) peasantry. The first of its kind, the book will be indispensable for students and researchers of tribal studies, agrarian studies, exclusion studies, tribe-class relationships, minority studies, sociology, development studies, history, political science, northeast India studies, and South Asian studies. It will also be useful for activists and policymakers working in the area.

Among the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGS), SDG 1 envisages end of poverty in all its forms everywhere and SDG 2 envisages zero hunger and achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture. In order to achieve the SDGs 1 and 2, Govt. of India has launched different agricultural and horticultural scheme to protect the loss of farmers. These schemes are implemented in the states of India with the initiatives of the state governments. The book is highlighted on the socio-economic impact study with concurrent evaluation on Agriculture/Horticulture based Schemes implemented in the state Tripura. The book is focused mainly on two aspects viz; evaluation of the agriculture and horticulture based schemes and impact of the schemes on the socio-economic life of the tribal farmers. The basic objectives of this book are to assess whether the tribal farmers are benefitted or not from the different schemes implemented by the government and to assess the impact of these schemes in order to improve the socio-economic condition of the tribal farmers. In addition to this, productivity of the different agriculture/horticulture production produced by the tribal beneficiaries is examined and socio-economic problems faced by the rural tribal people are investigated. The book is expected to be valuable to the policy maker for taking the appropriate policy decisions further and it would be a bench mark to the researchers who will work on the tribal issues and agriculture.

Fisheries play an important role in the economy of nations bordering the sea and this is especially true in a populous country like India where a large majority continues to live below the poverty line. Sea fishing has been an occupation with the coastal people of India since time immemorial forming an integral part of the maritime heritage. Machanisation has been introduced into the marine fishing with a view to exploit the fisheries potential all along the Indian coastline of 6,500 km by overcoming the deficiencies of the centuries old traditional fishing technology and to augment fish production with a higher fishing effort and also to raise the income levels and living standards of fishermen. The present book, based on the author’s doctoral dissertation, made a bold and pioneering attempt to evaluate the costs and earnings of mechanised and traditional boats for determining their relative operational efficiency and to examine intensively the effects of mechanisation on employment, income levels, consumption pattern and levels of living of fishermen and their social implications. While analysing the merits of the new fishing technology and also the reactions of different groups of fishermen to mechanisation, he spotlights the shortsightedness in the implementation of the programme of mechanisation resulting in a host of negative effects which have implications and also sets forth the valuable lessons which Indian experiences have to offer to the densely populated littoral nations in the Third World. To ensure enduring benefits to the vast majority of marine fishermen, the thesis underscores, among numerous other remedies the need for the provision of an intermediary technology, the need for the institutional support and marketing network and the need for the management of fisheries resources. It also calls for the policies to bring about socio-economic development of the fishing community on par with the rest of the society. All in all, a genuine contribution to knowledge of `grassroots' situations that will have enduring value and that can be useful in both academic and policy-formation circles.
