About the Book

The fourth in the Socio-Economic Survey series of the Foundation for Agrarian Studies (FAS), this book is a field report on agrarian relations in rural Tripura. It is based on a detailed household survey of three villages: Mainama in Manu block of Dhalai district, Khakchang in Dasda block of North district, and Muhuripur in Julaibari block of South district. The three villages are drawn from different agro-ecological regions. A stratified simple random sample survey was conducted in May–June 2016; the three villages were surveyed earlier, in 2005, for the Tripura Human Development Report 2007. The book provides a detailed statistical picture of land, labour, incomes, assets, indebtedness, and other features of households in different socio-economic classes in the three villages. It also examines special features of the rural economy of Tripura such as homestead cultivation and rubber plantations. Lastly, the book attempts to understand the role of the Left and of public support in the evolution of the rural economy of the State.
