The series puts forth the findings from village surveys conducted by the FAS under its programme Project on Agrarian Relations in India (PARI). The study is located in West Bengal (WB), the timeline is after 2010, and the analysis draws from core data from two PARI surveys conducted in 2010 and 2015. The data is drawn from three villages in the districts Bankura, Malda, and Cooch Behar. Each village is located in a distinct agroclimatic zone, red laterite zone, old alluvial zone, and the terai zone, respectively.
