The tribal peasant communities of India's north-east region, whose traditional economy of shifting agriculture rested on the principles of common, community property in land, reciprocity, sharing, labour co-operation and kinship and was largely self-sufficient, has been giving way to an economy of permanent, settled agriculture based on private property in land, personal income and wealth.

In this paper, the author attempts to carry out a study of agriculture protection/taxation based on the NRP (nominal rates of protection) estimate with special reference to 2 major cereals, wheat and rice. The findings of the paper show that India has not kept her agriculture "underpriced" or has been exploiting it for the sake of cheaper industrialization. (DÜI-Sen)

SUMMARYThe object of this paper is two‐fold. First, an attempt has been made to show that under certain specific circumstances a livestock production system can be raised to a higher level of output by slaughtering some of the animals. Second, it has been then shown that given a free say to exchange and clearly defined preference scales of the consuming coalitions, this policy is strongly Pareto‐wise optimal. Finally the attention is drawn to the relevance of the policy to the problem of scarcity of food in India. It is suggested that India could do well by slaughtering of its animal population.
