This process has continued for nearly thirty years. It is important to know the impact of the pattern of economic growth during this period on the external trade relations. This is the main focus of this study.

For the formulation of the land-policy and the programme of its implementation, statistical data relating to the manner in which the landownership and its operation are distributed assume primary importance.

Abstract

The factual data presented in the foregoing pages regarding the villages in the community project area in Kolhapur speak for themselves. The community as a whole consisted largely of Marathas and Scheduled Castes, and could be said to be a homogeneous one. Information regarding income, housing, sanitary conditions, clothing and household things of persons and families in the project villages showed that the level of living in these villages was quite low, We have of course no comparative data from non-project villages, but the knowledge we have in regard to the rural conditions outside the community project area in Kolhapur, leads us to believe that the picture of conditions here was not different. The community project had not brought about any marked increase in the levels of living.
