Agricultural Financing in India (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781025262987)

"Agricultural Financing in India" provides an in-depth examination of the financial mechanisms and credit structures that supported the Indian agrarian economy during the early 20th century. Author S. N. Ghosal offers a rigorous analysis of the critical role that capital plays in rural development, identifying the systemic hurdles faced by agriculturalists in securing sustainable funding for their livelihoods.

The work explores the diverse landscape of rural credit, covering the influence of indigenous moneylenders, the emergence of cooperative societies, and the evolving role of formal banking institutions within the subcontinent. Ghosal meticulously details the socio-economic factors contributing to rural indebtedness and evaluates the effectiveness of contemporary policies aimed at reforming agricultural productivity. By situating these financial issues within the broader context of Indian economic history, the book sheds light on the complexities of managing a vast, decentralised agrarian sector.

As a significant historical study, "Agricultural Financing in India" serves as an essential resource for understanding the foundations of development finance and the historical evolution of agricultural policy in South Asia. It remains a valuable text for scholars of economic history, rural sociology, and international development.
