The book is an outcome of research conducted with National Sample Survey (NSS)
household level data, National Council of Applied Economic Research (NCAER)
household level data and International Crop Research Institute for Semi-Arid
Tropics (ICRISAT) household level data, spread over 2002-2012. The book focuses
on four major issues:
• What is the distribution pattern of farm income, paid out cost and net income
of farm households—source wise and activity wise?
• What is the saving propensity of households and what are the determinants of
saving propensity with well-defined predictor variables?
• What does the analysis of sources of investible funds suggest and which are
the determinants of investment propensity?
