Abstract
Shortly after independence India embarked on a number of policies designed to restructure rural life-socially and politically as well as economically-and to change a stagnant agriculture into a developing one. First the states began to reform tenancies and tenures. Then the range of efforts widened to include community development, local government, and local development planning. These were followed by intensive district package programs, which in turn became part of the Green Revolution. This essay is an interpretive history of the origins, evolution, and performance of the programs of community development, local government, and local and of the changes that transformed a policy of progress through democratic planning into a policy of progress through profits.
