The
tribal areas of Himachal Pradesh including district
Kinnaur are the most secluded, remotest, inaccessible
cold deserts with dreaded hill tracts due to mighty
high mountain passes which remain covered under snow
for six to seven months every year. Due to these reasons,
tribal areas have remained neglected and lagged behind
in development.
This book highlights the main problems of farmers
of Kinnaur district which has an area of 6401 sq.
km with a population of 71,270 persons. The author
has tried to study at primary level the problems and
constraints of the farmers as a large proportion of
tribal population here is dependent upon agriculture
and allied activities as a source of their livelihood.
It was found that the farmers of Kinnaur district
are not much concerned about the input-output ratio
in the farming system. This book, therefore, gives
some good suggestions to the farmers of this area,
so that their socio-economic conditions can be improved.
