    The recent decline in India’s rural
    female labor force participation is generally attributed to
    higher rural incomes in a patriarchal society. Together with
    the growing share of the urban population, where female
    participation rates are lower, this alleged income effect
    does not bode well for the empowerment of women as India
    develops. This paper argues that a traditional supply-side
    interpretation is insufficient to account for the decline in

    two large settlements, Satghara (a census town) and
    Bhagwatipur (a rural cluster with 10,000 plus population) in

    social dynamics of the rural non-farm economy by empirically
    mapping non-farm occupations in both the settlements. It

    In the past 50 years, Indian agriculture
    has undergone a major transformation, from dependence on
    food aid to becoming a consistent net food exporter. The
    gradual reforms in the agricultural sector (following the
    broader macro-reforms of the early 1990s) spurred some
    unprecedented innovations and changes in the food sector
    driven by private investment. These impressive achievements
    must now be viewed in light of the policy and investment
