It provides insights into the inter-linkages between public expenditures, private investment, rural poverty, and agriculture productivity from a regional perspective to reflect upon spatial differences in the welfare effects of various investments, subsidies, and policies. The book focuses on agricultural growth and rural poverty reduction through public and private investments, non-farm employment, and other pathways to the formulation of appropriate policies at the dis-aggregated state level. It presents new evidence based on advanced econometric tools for analysing and understanding the relationship between public and private investments in agriculture and input subsidies (fertilizer, power, irrigation, and credit) together with their impacts at the dis-aggregated state level. The book also deliberates on an income based direct support system for farmers as an alternative to the existing input price subsidy regime. Accordingly, the book offers valuable insights not only for researchers working on poverty alleviation, rural economy, and agricultural growth, but also for policymakers.India Studies in Business and Economics,2198-0012Agricultural economicsEconomic policyWelfare stateAgricultural Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W47000Economic Policyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34010Politics of the Welfare Statehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X33050Agricultural economics.Economic policy.Welfare state.Agricultural Economics.Economic Policy.Politics of the Welfare State.338.10954Bathla Seemaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut900727Joshi Pramod Kumarauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autKumar Anjaniauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910409704203321Agricultural Growth and Rural Poverty Reduction in India2013093UNINA
