Abstract

Rural transformation in general has been conceptualized as modernization, rural development, changes in economic structure, and the migration of the population from the farming sector to the non-farming sectors of the economy. Different theoretical approaches (unidimensional and multidimensional) have been applied to the study of rural transformation, and these approaches have involved different indicators to examine the nature and magnitude of rural change/transformation. The rural development approach to the study of rural transformation has been criticized on the grounds that rural transformation does not always involve development. This article examines the Indian experience and contends that India’s rural transformation has involved migration from the farming sector into the non-farming sectors and the de-agrarianization of the Indian economy.
印度农村转型:非土地化与农业经济向非农业经济的转型
农村转型一般被定义为现代化、农村发展、经济结构的变化以及人口从农业部门向非农业经济部门的迁移。不同的理论方法(一维和多维)已经应用于农村转型的研究,这些方法涉及不同的指标来检查农村变化/转型的性质和规模。以农村发展的视角研究农村转型一直受到批评,理由是农村转型并不总是涉及发展。本文考察了印度的经验,认为印度的农村转型涉及从农业部门向非农业部门的迁移和印度经济的非农业化。
