M L Dantwala Evolution of Food Policy in India by R N Chopra; Macmillion India
THIS book deals mainly with the marketing aspects of food policy, such as procurement, public distribution, storage, buffer stocks and the role of the Food Corporation. There are two brief chapters, one on the Impact of the Green Revolution on Production (4 pages) and another on Food Problem and Foodgrains Price Policies (16 pages). There is also penultimate chapter on Need for Agricultural Development. On the main theme of marketing, however, the discussion is exhaustive in the style of event-by-event cricket commentary.
