Abstract

Pursuit of subsistence living has become one of the major struggles of Indian farmers. This struggle is largely dictated by the monsoon on one side and functioning of the markets (land, labour, factor and product) and ‘governed’ prices on the other.

In this entire process, beneficial participation of the sector in the markets was presumed.
