Abstract

The objective of this note is to conduct a regional study of inequalities in the ownership of land assets among the households and the productivity levels in rural communities in India.

The study is based on a survey conducted by the Reserve Bank of India; entitled All India Survey of Rural Credit and Investment, 1971-72.
