Abstract

The paper constitutes a synthetic presentation of the Indian agricultural policy since the moment of gaining independence in 1947 to the transformations of the nineties. The author has divided those years into four periods.

The strategy of the Indian economic development, elaborated by Nehru at the beginning of the fifties, was based upon Soviet standards. Its adoption has had a profound impact on the development of India for tens of years, till the end of the eighties. In the first period, the agricultural policy had an egalitarian character, the example of which is a Community Development Programme

Certain difficulties concerning the economic situation of the country caused brought along a change in the policy direction. The tendency towards an intensive development of some agricultural regions (the second period) found its culminating point in a programme called „Green Revolution’, started in mid-sixties.

Deep differences in the social and economic development of the countryside’ made the Indian government accept an Integrated Rural Development Programme on the turn of the seventies and eighties

Keywords:
