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.
