Rural cooperatives in India, working mainly in the field of credit, but having come to embrace a range of other activities, are considered by many to have a key role to play in processes of
rural economic development. In this volume, Ahmad (agricultural economics and business management, Aligarh Muslim U., India) presents 7 research papers examining the relationship between
co-operatives and development. They address agricultural credit delivery, co-ordination with the National Bank for Agricultural and Rural Development and regional rural banks, financial
co-operatives and globalization, and Indian farmers and trade-related intellectual property rights. Distributed in North America by ISBS. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
