projects prior to their implementation.
Mich of the discussion along the points outlined above under objectives
1, 2) 3p and 5 will deal with the broader perspective of agriculture
and rural development, whereas profitability analyses and development
proposals will be confined only to rainfed patterns of agriculture.
It is felt that irrigated farming sectors, though modest in acreage,

For the purpose of this study, rainfed farming includes all types
of non-irrigated agriculture. As such it covers a wide range of
fruit trees and field crops, as well as livestock and poultry, but
does not deal much with citrus, banana and irrigated vegetables.

National University (Acting Chairman, Department of Economics) and
joined the School of Peace Studies at the University of Bradford.
He was registered there as a research student working for a Ph.D in
rural development under the supervision of Dr Paul Rogers. A few
months later, Mr Andrew Coulson of the Project Planning Centre at
Bradford University was requested to help as a second supervisor.
buring his first year of stay in Britain the researcher made a
thorough review of pertinent literature and attended a number of
courses. Besides making full use of the facilities available at
Bradford University, the researcher visited several British universities
and centres of oriental studi
During the course of the first year
