"Farm Management is an important aspect of farm technology, but perhaps the most neglected area of India forming.
Conventional wisdom continues to rule decision making in Indian agriculture, where the focus is more on \'subsistence\' rather than \'commercialisation\'. This aspect of technology calls for radical transformation in the outlook of the former and the rural management has an indispensable role to play if the target growth rate of 8 to 10 percent is to be achieved.
The book examines the various issues, challenges and opportunities lies with in the periphery of rural management. The book contain various research paper of eminent personalities related to important disciplines of management and explore the various constraint which are responsible for low productivity in Indian agriculture. The book will be of immense use for the policy maker, research scholars and academicians." (jacket)
