Abstract

Development is a binary process which brings both positive and negative results. Gradually, the process of development results in the emergence of complexity in all aspects of society. Change in one single aspect holds the potential to bring change in all other aspects of a society. The changes brought about by various development agencies have led to changes in the system of production. The availability, utilization, and accessibility of natural resources as well as the technology required to fully utilise them have a significant impact on the decisions that determine a society's livelihood opportunities. Additionally, it affects social behaviour and social structure. Earlier, when people solely relied on traditional livelihood resources, the socio-structural context of the village was distinct, and this context underwent a transformation as a result of changes in livelihood resources and methods brought on by development initiatives. This paper intends to draw attention to the changes in the village's social, political, and economic structures in Amrai Village of Pratapgarh, Uttar Pradesh, brought about by modifications in the production systems driven by development interventions
