 Bibliography of
Village and Town Studies of Tamil Nadu1

K. Nagaraj, Rukmani

In the compilation of a bibliography of village and town studies of Tamil Nadu our original
plan was to attempt a thorough stock taking exercise of the studies on Tamil Nadu and also
annotate and critically review the identified studies. We had proposed to do the following:

1. To identify all the village and town studies carried out in Tamil Nadu;
2. To procure copies of these studies for a central library;
3. To prepare a bibliography along the lines of the bibliography prepared by the Institute
of Development Studies, Sussex that provides a bibliographical statement, a verbal
annotation and a coded statement for each identified study.
4. To attempt a comprehensive and critical review of the identified studies.

We have deviated from this plan as we identified a much larger number of studies than we
had anticipated. Moreover, a very large proportion of the studies we identified is Ph.D. or
M.Phil. theses and we faced enormous problems in getting them photocopied. Therefore
we have concentrated only in compiling a bibliography of village and town studies and
could not attempt to annotate and review all the studies. However we had attempted verbal
annotations for 31 studies. These annotations along with a note to the coded statement, as
given by the IDS bibliography, are provided in Annexure-1. In Annexure-2, we provide an
annotated index to the 31 Census villages, which was prepared by (late) Prof. S. Guhan of
the Madras Institute of Development Studies.

In the compilation of the bibliography we have depended on the following sources to

identify the studies:
1. Social Science Departments of Universities, Autonomous Colleges and Research centers
in Tamil Nadu;
2. The library of Madras Institute of Development Studies;
3. The Bibliography on Village Studies prepared by the Institute of Development Studies,
Sussex in 1976; and
4. Village Monograph series of the Census of 1961.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: We gratefully acknowledge the funding received from Kerala Research

Programme on Local Level Development, Centre for Development Studies, Thiruvananthapuram, for the
compilation of this Bibliography. We are grateful to Mr S.Paul Pandian for his meticulous efforts in
collecting the material. We would also like to thank Ms R.Hemalatha and Mr R. DharumaPerumal for the
help they have extended.

K. Nagaraj is Professor at Madras Institute of Development Studies, Chennai. R. Rukmani works with
M.S. Swaminathan Research Foundation, Chennai.

The bibliography is, however, not exhaustive as it includes only those studies that are available
in the above mentioned sources and work on Tamil Nadu which are not available in any one
of our sources gets excluded from the bibliography. A distinctive feature of this bibliography
is the inclusion of the vast body of work in the form of M.Phil and Ph.D theses.

In compiling this bibliography, a village study is identified as one that involves a primary
survey in a village, irrespective of the aspect covered. Working with this definition we
have identified and listed a total number of 678 studies as village studies. Of this a major
proportion is accounted for by Ph.D. and M.Phil theses: 70 Ph.D. and 498 M.Phil theses
have been identified. In addition to the Ph.D. and M.Phil theses, our bibliography comprises
of a total number of 79 studies (identified from the library of Madras Institute of Development
Studies and those that are listed in the IDS bibliography) and 31 Census monographs.

For the studies we have identified and collected some basic details such as the title and
author of the study, district covered by the study, and year of submission or publication of
the study. We have classified the studies into broad subject wise groups, relying purely on
their titles. The 678 village studies have been grouped into 13 broad groups. Table 1 indicates
the subject and region-wise categorisation of the 678 studies identified. While classifying
the studies subject-wise we have not resorted to any cross-classification. That is, each
title is entered in only one category.

From Table1 we find that nearly half the village studies- 334 out of 678 studies - deal with
issues relating to the primary sector. Within this a large number of studies - 17 percent
deal with aspects relating to production, yield and technology in agriculture; 16 percent
deal with allied activities - fishing, forestry, sericulture, dairy etc.; about 14 percent are
crop studies; 13 percent on agricultural labourers and 9 percent on caste, agrarian structure
and agrarian transformation. Next in importance to the primary sector are studies that
deal with government interventional programmes - these account for 60 studies or 9 percent
of all village studies. General village studies, which look at all aspects of the village economy,
like the village monographs of the Census, account for 51 studies. While a large number
of other important issues have been studied, the subject wise classification also reveals
inadequate attention received by certain areas such as, rural industries, social sectors -
health, education and housing, demography and fertility, panchayats, gender issues and
employment dimensions of rural labour. Just 43 studies - 6 percent have dealt with rural
industrialisation; 22 studies –3 percent on social sectors; 34 studies 5 percent on demography
and fertility and 8 studies, just 1 percent, on aspects relating to the panchayats. Among
studies that pertain to agriculture a majority focus on technical aspects of production and
only few studies deal with issues relating to the agrarian structure.

Classification of village studies by region covered do not indicate any great imbalance
across regions in terms of coverage though the southern districts have been studied more
extensively than the rest. The least studied region is the Coimbatore region followed by
Chengalpattu region.

In compiling a bibliography of town studies, a town study is identified as one that involves
a primary survey in a town, irrespective of the aspect covered. Using this definition we
have identified a total number of 583 town studies. A very large proportion of these
studies, nearly 96 per cent are Ph.D. and M.Phil theses. 496 M.Phil theses and 65 Ph.D.
theses have been identified as town studies. Four Census studies and 17 Studies that were
identified in the library of MIDS account for the rest. We have classified the town studies
(Table 2) and we find that one fourth of all town studies - 150 studies - deal with aspects
relating to the secondary sector. Within this category, studies dealing with specific industries
are quite prominent. There is also considerable work - 53 studies - on labour within the
secondary sector. Next in importance to studies on secondary sector, are studies relating
to the tertiary sector - 74 studies, that is 13 percent of all town studies deal with the tertiary
sector. Within this a large number deal with those employed in this sector either in the
organised sector or the unorganised, informal sector. A large number of town studies - 13
percent - also deal with attitudinal or behavioural aspects of individuals or households.
About one tenth of town studies are concerned with the social sector - education, health
and housing and slightly less than 10 percent of studies on aspects relating to population
and demography. While a whole range of issues are covered by town studies there are
certainly some prominent gaps: there are just three studies on the employment dimensions
in the urban context; infrastructure and water supply are dealt with by only 10 studies;
government interventional programmes which received a great deal of attention in the rural
context has hardly received any attention in the urban context; a major gap is also with
regard to research on urban poverty, migration, social sector development, caste issues,
etc. which have received much less attention compared to the gravity of these problems in
urban areas.

As regards regional coverage it is interesting to note that a large number of studies cover
the northern tract of Tamil Nadu comprising of the Chengalpattu and Coimbatore regions,
which is more urbanised than the rest of Tamil Nadu, while the pattern is the exact reverse
in the case of village studies.

The bibliography of village and town studies is provided in Appendix 1 and 2 respectively.

ANNEXURE-1

Annotations for 31 village studies together with a note to the coded statement are provided
herewith.

(i) Caste, Agrarian Structure, and Agrarian Transformation:

1. Alexander, K. C. (1975): Agrarian Tension in Thanjavur, National Institute of Community

Development, Hyderabad.

This study attempts to understand the phenomenon of agrarian unrest in Thanjavur district
by conducting a survey in few villages in two taluks Mannargudi and Mayavaram where
agrarian unrest was high and low respectively. The study notes that the basic difference
between the two areas is in terms of influence of the Communist Party in these areas - it
was high in Mannargudi and weak in Mayavaram.

2. Arputharaj, C. and Vallinayagam, S.S. (1980): Changes in Land Ownership Pattern

in a Decade-Tamil Nadu, Research Study No.69, Agricultural Economics Research Centre,
University of Madras, Madras (Mimeo).

The main focus of this study is to understand the factors underlying the changes in land
ownership pattern over a decade 1970-’71 to 1979-’80. A sample survey has been conducted
in two villages in Coimbatore district. A sample of 90 holdings has been chosen for this
purpose. The study notes that there has been a decline in number of holdings as well as
area owned by large farmers, while small and medium farmers have gained. A major
finding of the study is that in a majority of cases (52%), partition of lands was responsible
for the decrease in area and that partitions were not made with any motive to circumvent
legislation. Sale of farmland was another major factor that led to a decline in area. By and
large sale of land was resorted to repay debts or to meet social obligations. Data is provided
only for the entire sample and not for individual villages.

3. Athreya, V.B. et al (1990): Barriers Broken: Production Relations and Agrarian

Change in Tamil Nadu, Sage Publications, New Delhi.

This study analyses and brings out the contrasts in production relations and agrarian change
across two distinct ecotypes. Three villages in a wet area and three villages in a dry area
in Tiruchirapalli district are chosen for the study. A sample survey of the agrarian population
of these villages was conducted in the year 1979-’80. The study argues that production
relations cannot on their own explain processes of agrarian change - factors relating to
ecology, as also the state policies would have a strategic role to play.

4.Gough, Kathleen (1981): Rural Society in South East India, Cambridge University
Press, Cambridge and

221
5. Gough, Kathleen (1989): Rural Change in Southeast India, 1950s to 1980s,Oxford
University Press, Delhi.

These two books deal with the economic and political change in Thanjavur district. The
books are based on fieldwork conducted in two villages during 1951 to 1953 and again
from February to October 1976. In this important and detailed work on Thanjavur, Gough
argues that capitalist development in agriculture over the period has not brought prosperity
to the majority of the people.

This is a socio-economic study of two villages - Esanakorai and Peruvalanallur situated in

different agro-economic zones of Tiruchirapalli district. The major objective of the study
is to understand the changes witnessed by the villages over time. The main emphasis is on
studying changes in land tenure, land holdings across different caste groups as also the
settlement pattern of the villages. Data sources for the study are historical as well as
contemporary: resettlement registers of the colonial period, information from descriptions
in temples, government publications of the post-colonial period and the data generated
from the field study are used. Study throws some light on migration from these villages
over a long period of time.

This study analyses the structural and spatial pattern of the most important resource base
viz. land in a dry village, Mahizambadi. The study documents the highly skewed distribution
of resources. Study gives detailed information on caste structure, land ownership, land
transactions, irrigation, livestock as well as some salient features of the population as
regards literacy and demography.

8. Sundari, T.K. (1991): Caste and the Agrarian Structure: A study of Chingleput District,
Tamil Nadu, South India, Oxford and IBH Publishing Co.Pvt. Ltd. New Delhi and Centre
for Development Studies, Thiruvananthapuram.

The main concern of the study has been to understand the relationship between caste and
agrarian structure, as it exists today and the manner in which this has changed over time.
The study captures the interaction between caste, land-labour relations and material
conditions of agricultural production in Chingleput district by a survey of villages combined
with archival work. The study notes that caste is still very much a factor to reckon with
and it enters work arrangements between landowners, tenants, and wage labourers. A
major finding of the study is that caste class configuration of a village become significant
in defining the balance of forces between landowners and wageworkers. Given that labour
market is divided on caste lines the study argues that it may not be feasible to bring all
wageworkers as one interest group.

9. Naidu, V. Chandrasekara (1988): Some Aspects of Agro-Economic Transformation

in Tamil Nadu - A Case Study of Enathimelpakkam Village, Working Paper No.86 Madras
Institute of Development Studies, Madras.

The main objective of the study has been to capture the processes responsible for the
prevalence of poverty in the village. The study notes that despite the adoption of modern
technology in agriculture and the inflow of huge amounts of public assistance over a
period of time there is mass poverty in the village. The study concludes that the high cost

223
of cultivation that has to be borne by marginal and small farmers, reduction in employment
opportunities, high rate of inflation, high level of landlessness of households are the major
factors that explain high levels of poverty in the village.

10. Naidu V. Chandrasekara (1995): Enathimelpakkam Revisited 1993-’94, Working paper

No.127, Madras Institute of Development Studies, Madras.

This study is on the basis of a survey conducted in 1993-’94 and attempts to capture the
changes experienced by the village since the first survey, 1985-’86. The study notes that
there has been a shift in the concentration of absolute poverty from agricultural to non-
agricultural households in the village.

11. Naidu, V. Chandrasekara (1992): Verkadu - Study of A Backward Agricultural

Village In Tamil Nadu, Working Paper No.109, Madras Institute of Development Studies,
Madras.

12. Naidu, V. Chandrasekara (1995): Verkadu: A Resurvey, Working paper No.128, Madras
Institute of Development Studies, Madras.

This resurvey attempts to record the changes experienced over the period 1985-’86 and
1993-’94 in Verkadu. A major development in the village has been with regard to its
workforce - about 60 percent of the workforce now depends on non-agricultural
employment available outside the village. The study notes that the traditional pattern of
agriculture practised in Verkadu could not absorb the growing labour force. This led to a
very high level of poverty in the village. Lack of adequate employment opportunities
within the village resulted in large sections of the village population taking up non-agricultural
employment outside the village.

ii. Rural Credit:

1. Backstrand, Goran and Anders Turesson, (1983): Economic and Social Aspects of
Agriculture in India - A Case study of Chinnathadagam Village, Royal Institute of
Technology, Stockholm.

The main aim of the study is to understand the socio-economic environment of a village
and within this the environment in which agriculture is practised. The study notes the
sharp inequality in land distribution in the village. The study also records the higher level of
production, productivity and income of well-irrigated lands compared to irrigated lands.
Given this, the inequality in wealth is perpetuated when marginal farmers are excluded
from institutional finance especially for digging a well and for purchasing a pump set,
comment the authors. The study is not very detailed and the survey of 39 households is
done over a period of two months.

2. Heyer, Judith (1981): Attempting to Reach the Rural Poor’. The Small Farmer

224
Development Agency in Varandur Village, Working Paper No.22 Madras Institute of
Development Studies, Madras.

The main focus of the study was to see the impact of Small Farmer Development Agency
in Coimbatore Region in 1980. SFDA operates through existing credit institutions and is
responsible for making subsidised credit available to small farmers, marginal farmers and
agricultural labourers to make them economically viable. There are some eligibility criteria,
which have to be fulfilled by the households to become a beneficiary under this scheme.
The study discusses the problems with the criteria and the functioning of SFDA.

3. Rogaly B.N. (1985): A Study of Commission Agents in Dindigul with special reference
to producer Credit, Research Report Number 5, Credit for Rural Development in Southern
Tamil Nadu. University of Reading, U.K.

As the title suggests, the study attempts to understand the informal credit system by a
survey of Mandi owners in Dindigul and farmers in two villages near Dindigul and officials
in regulated market. The study makes some interesting observation on the relationship
between Mandi owners and farmers.

This is a study of two villages Konur and Gokilapuram located in contrasting agro-economic
zones of Madurai district. The objective of the study is to understand the functioning of
the credit market - formal and informal- at the village level as also to see the impact of
IRDP on its beneficiaries. A detailed survey of households is conducted in both the villages

225
and information on credit, indebtedness and the operation and impact of IRDP is provided.
An important observation of the study as regards IRDP is that plans and schemes that are
centrally charted out are not modified either to meet the needs of specific regions or to
meet the requirements of different sections of population.

5. Wellard, Kate (1985): A Study of the Madurai Agricultural Development Branch of

the State Bank of India (with special reference to crop loans for paddy cultivation) Research
Report No. 9. Credit for Rural Development in Southern Tamil Nadu, University of Reading,
U.K.

This study aims to understand the functioning of ADB by studying a sample of farmers in
one village - Mathur. The study gives information, for the sample, on the size holding of
farmers who are given loans, their cost of cultivation, income from agriculture and other
activities, and loan returns. No other information on the village is available. There are some
details on the performance of ADB in Madurai district.

iii. Primary Sector

1. Blase, F.W. (1982): Coastal Village Development in Four Fishing Communities of

Adirampattinam, Tamil Nadu. Working Paper - 19, Bay of Bengal Programme, Madras.

The main interest of this study has been to identify a ‘target group’ who can be assisted by
the BOBP in such a manner as to raise the income and standard of living of the group.
Four fishing communities of Adiramapattinam were surveyed. The needs of the fishermen
were identified as credit, education, and drinking water. BOBP has responded to their
needs by extending small loans, arranging for non-formal classes and water taps.

2. Drewes, Edeltraud (1982): Three Fishing Villages in Tamil Nadu, Working Paper 14,
Bay of Bengal Programme, Madras.

The objective of the study has been to understand the socio-economic situation of three
fishing villages near Chennai. Within this the emphasis is on understanding the economic
role and status of women. All the women - 300 in number - were interviewed in these
villages in March 1981. The main finding of the study is that in all the three villages the
landings of fish are too small for fish merchants to enter. This has given room for the
women of the village to take up fish marketing. This role played by the women has
enhanced their status. The study also points out that given the small scale of fishing
activity in these villages, unless additional fresh resources are identified it is difficult to
conceive of programmes that would bring about overall improvement.

This study is a resurvey of a satellite town - Mangadu of Chennai city. The original survey
was conducted in 1956 while the resurvey was conducted in 1988. The main focus of the
resurvey has been to document the changes with regard to demography and health. Within
this there has been an emphasis as regards adoption of family planning techniques. The
study provides lot of useful data on demographic aspects for the scheduled castes as well
as caste Hindu population of the village. But there is very little analytical exercise and
hence the reader is completely in the dark about factors underlying the noted trends.
However this study shall provide an excellent basis for a resurvey.

in a Rural Area of Tamil Nadu, Bulletin vol. No.1 Gandhigram Institute of Rural Health and
Family Planning, Gandhigram.

The study attempts to understand the relationship between socio-economic status and
fertility and see how this relationship is mediated through the system of caste. A survey
was conducted in 28 villages, in Madurai district, and the respondents were drawn from
different caste groups. The study concludes that major caste groups show persistent and
marked differences in family building patterns. The study notes that caste has become a
sub-culture within the society and the fertility behaviour of an individual is more in
consonance with the norm of his caste.

Vadamalaipuram has been surveyed in the years 1916, 1936 and 1958. The present survey
was conducted in the year 1983 with the main purpose of studying the nature of
transformation witnessed by the village economy. The study’s finding is that while the
economy of the village has experienced some major structural changes, viz. modernisation
of agriculture, rise of manufacturing activity, increasing concentration of landholding - the
standard of living of the mass of the population has not improved.

Gangaikondan has been surveyed thrice earlier in 1916, 1934 and 1958-60. The present
study is a result of a survey conducted during 1983-84 in the village. The focus of the
study has been to analyse the changes that have been experienced by the village economy
over time as also to provide a picture of the village economy as it is today. The study
concludes that given the inequality in the distribution of assets, the benefits of the process
of development experienced by the village economy have not been widely distributed.
Important changes witnessed by the economy are: area under tenancy has declined sharply;
yield of paddy - the most important crop - has increased by about 50% over the last two
decades; a development of the livestock economy; and an increase in non agricultural
employment.

Palakurichi was first surveyed in the year 1917 and then in 1936-’37. The present study
is on the basis of a survey conducted in the year 1983. The main purpose of the study is
to analyse growth and change in Palakuruchi. The study notes that while the village
always reported high concentration in land ownership this feature became entrenched and
poverty and inequality remained intact overtime. The main changes experienced by the
village economy are: increase in non-farm employment, unionisation of agricultural labourers,
introduction of second cropping, and introduction of tractors.

Dusi, one of the five villages studied by Gilbert Slater, was first surveyed in the year 1916-
’17 and was resurveyed subsequently in the years 1937 and 1961. The present study was
conducted during 1983-’84 and records the emergence of weaving since about the early
1960s as a major aspect of the transformation that Dusi has undergone. More than half the
households are involved in weaving. While the study notes a remarkable improvement in
literacy, housing, electricity, water supply, health and communications overtime, there is
no remarkable reduction in the levels of poverty.

The village Iruvelpattu has been surveyed in the years 1916,1936-’37 and 1981-’82. The
focus of the present study is to analyse the changes experienced by the economy of the
village since 1916. The main finding of the study is that the pattern of poverty has remained
more or less same in the village in spite of additional employment created by widespread
use of modern techniques in agriculture.

The main objective of the study is to understand the problems in the growth of groundnut
production in Tamil Nadu. 200 households in eight villages lying in Salem and South Arcot
districts have been surveyed in the year 1981-82. The study shows that a major problem
encountered by the groundnut farmers is inadequate availability of seeds. Use of old seeds
result in poor yield of the crop. Another major problem encountered by the groundnut
farmers is lack of any assured price for their produce.

The objective of the study has been to identify the socio-economic characteristics of rural
labour force and to investigate the pattern of employment and unemployment. Four
villages in Coimbatore taluk are randomly chosen and 100 households are surveyed in
each. The main finding of the study is that the extent of unemployment got minimised
substantially in villages having fairly stable irrigation facilities or those that adopted labour
intensive crop and successive crop rotation complemented by dairying or those that
possessed industrial centres.

Programme in South Arcot District, Tamil Nadu, Research Study No.58, Agricultural
Economics Research Centre, University of Madras, Madras (mimeo).

The study on impact of High Yielding Varieties programme in South Arcot district is on the
basis of a sample study of 100 farmers selected from 4 villages in South Arcot district.
The survey has been conducted in the year 1975-76. The report provides information only
for the sample as a whole and not for individual villages. The study finds that all cultivators
irrespective of the size of holding have adopted high yielding varieties and that there has
been significant increase in the production and yield of paddy. The study further notes that
cultivation of new varieties has led to an improvement in incomes and standard of living of
the farmers. These findings are corroborated by another study conducted by the author
using similar methodology, in Chingleput district. The reference to this study is as follows:

The study analyses agrarian change and water management in the Kumbapettai, a village
earlier studied by Kathleen Gough, in the context of inter-state water dispute between
Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. The study finds that the absence of an assured flow of water
in the river Kudamuruti has necessitated a shift to single cropping from the earlier practice
of double cropping; groundwater is being tapped on a large scale as an additional and more
reliable water source; there has been a change in the cropping pattern, favouring sugarcane
over paddy.

As far as possible, the BOXES have been arranged in homogeneous, subject groups, as
follows:

‘ORIENT’ to ‘MAPS’ relate to the orientation of the research and the fieldwork methods
used.

‘VL POP’ to ‘COMM’ comprise information on the economic geography of the village.

‘RNFLL’ to ‘SOIL’ describe the natural environment of the village.

‘M-L RT’ to ‘IRRG 2’ relate to type of agriculture practiced.

‘AG INP’ to ‘LV STD’ contain data presented in forms which derive directly from the
conventional economists’ approach to the analysis of the village
economy.

‘DEMOG’ to ‘HSEHLD’ include demographic information.

‘OCCPS’ to ‘LABOUR’ cover information on labour use and employment.

‘SCHOOL’ AND ‘EDU’ relate to educational variables.

‘MEDIC’ TO ‘FOOD’ contains data on health and nutrition.

‘LAN RL’ TO ‘ATTDS’ relate broadly to ethnographic concepts.

‘PLTCS’ TO ‘COOP 2’ are miscellaneous categories.

233
The full meaning of the abbreviated HEADINGS and the key to the code numbers and
symbols used for each ITEM are explained fully below and the user should refer to these
while working through this explanation and the examples.

The reader may use the coded statements in a number of different ways; some examples
are given below:

EXAMPLE 1: In the hypothetical coded statement given above the user will see that there
are three ITEMS of coded information given under the heading DEMOG, i.e. 0 2 6. From
the explanatory notes below it will be seen that three separate ITEMS of information are
included:

(a) = village age/sex structure

(b) = fertility rates
(c) = infant and/or total mortality rates

It is clear therefore that the study has some information on all these three subjects. The
precise nature of this information can be ascertained by reference to the Coding Scheme
used for all three ITEMS, i.e. S.C.S. 3:

0 = quantitative data for aggregate

2 = quantitative data for aggregate and groups
6 = quantitative data for groups

The coded statement indicates therefore that for item (a) village age-structure, there are
some quantitative data for the whole village: for item (b) fertility rates, there are quantitative
data for the whole village in aggregate and for some groups within the village, and that for
item (c) infant and/or general mortality rates there are quantitative data for a group (or
groups) within the village comprising less than the total village population.

EXAMPLE 2: Here we assume that the reader has found one (or more) village studies
which may be of particular interest for his research purposes, for example, a village in the
Delta area of Andhra Pradesh, (see 0071); the main interest is in socio-economic stratification
and the incomes of the poor; it would be useful to obtain some information on the distribution
of land holdings and wage rates paid, and the reader wishes to know whether there are also
quantitative data on these subjects in the village study in question.

To find the likely location of information on land distribution, refer to the description of the
logic of the ordering of boxes outlined above. The appropriate information will most likely
be found within the groups of BOXES ‘M-L RT’ to ‘IRRG 2’. From a scan of the ITEMS
under these headings it is clear that information on the distribution of operated holdings is
given under ‘LAND 1’ ITEM (b). The code scheme applicable to that item is ‘Standard
Coding Scheme 3’ (S.C.S. 3). Referring then to the description of the Standard Coding
Scheme 3’. It is obvious that various forms of quantitative data could have been coded.

234
Actually coded in BOX `LAND 1’ ITEM (b) is the number 0 for our chosen village 0071,
which according to the Standard Coding System indicates quantitative data for the village
aggregate. It is clear therefore that there are data likely to be useful for our purposes. The
process of finding out about the availability of data on wage rates is similar. The following
steps are necessary:

i. : identify from the description of BOX HEADINGS the precise BOX HEADING and
ITEM required: i.e. ‘LABOUR’ (b)
ii. : check the Coding Scheme for that ITEM; i.e. S.C.S.3;
iii. : identify from the Coding Scheme the code numbers indicating the type of
data required; (in this case, Code 0, or, even better, Codes 2 or 3):
iv. : compare desired codes with those given under the HEADING ‘LABOUR’,
ITEM (b) in the coded statement for village 0071 (Code 2 is given).

EXAMPLE 3: The user may approach the coded section differently, using it, for example,
to identify all villages with given characteristics for which other information is desired.
Assume that out interest lies in the effect of a regular bus service on the take-up by
villagers of urban jobs; for simplicity we will confine investigations to the State of Gujarat.
We wish to identify firstly villages, which have a bus service and secondly, the sub-set of
the later for which information is available on occupational patterns. The first step is to
see whether our primary sorting criteria (presence of a bus service) has been specifically
indexed and included in the Topics Index. A quick check of all likely headings (e.g., buses,
transport, and communications) shows that it is not; the villages with public transport
facilities must be identified by an eye-scan. The following steps are then taken:

i. : identify the appropriate HEADING and ITEM, i.e. TRANSPORT (b) = motorised
public transport.
ii. : refer to the Coding Scheme used for that ITEM (S.C.S.1) for the code number
indicating the presence in the village of motorised public transport i.e. the number 1;
iii. : scan all the coded statements for Gujarat (nos.0231-0297) for villages having code
no.1 under the HEADING ‘TRNSPT’, ITEM (b). The following village studies are
relevant: 0232-7, 0239-45, 0247, 0249, 0253, 0264, 0276, 0278-9, 0280, 0283, 0285-
7, 0296-7.
iv. : Then identify, in the same way described in example 2 the location and type of
information on occupational patterns. Assume that code numbers 0,2, or 3 are required
for ITEM (a) under the HEADING ‘OCCP S’ and then,
v. : Identify from the sub-set of villages in (iii) above, those having the ‘code numbers 0,
2, or 3 for ITEM (a) under the HEADING ‘OCCPS’ i.e 0232-3, 0235-7, 0239-43,
0247, 0249, 0264, 0276, 0278-80, 0283, 0285-7.

In this way, therefore, the Coded Statements can be scanned to identify village studies
with data on any required number of the variables used.

235
Standard Coding Scheme

The coding schemes applicable to the ITEMS in the coded statement are explained in full
in the section below ‘Interpretation of HEADINGS’ and ITEMS. However, three
Coding Schemes have been used frequently for several ITEMS throughout the coded
statement; they are the Standard Coding Schemes abbreviated here and below to S.C.S.1;
S.C.S.2; and S.C.S.3.

S.C.S.1

Information coded under this scheme relates to the presence in or near the village of
specified public institutions or facilities (e.g. main roads, co-operative etc.) and whether
the villagers used them ‘significantly’. The village boundaries used for this category are
generally defined on administrative criteria; failing those, accepted customary definitions
are used. An example of every facility or institution may of course always be found
somewhere outside the village; the concern in this coding is to indicate only when such
facilities/institutions are used to such an extent by the villagers that it may be said that their
general life styles are influenced. For example the fact that two village boys were attending
a high school in a distant town would not have been coded, but the fact that 10 percent of
village teenagers attended a secondary school in a nearby town would have been coded.
Four symbols have been used for this Coding Scheme:

1. Facility/Institution is present within the village

2. Facility/Institution is present outside the village and used significantly by the villagers.
* Facility/Institution is absent
- No Information

S.C.S.2

Items coded under this scheme refer to the availability of certain kinds of information of a
very general nature about the village or the village population as a whole e.g. means of
transport, kinship, inheritance practices, climate, or health and medical practices. Such
information is, where given, almost always presented in a non-quantified form. A very
generous definition has been used of the concept of data ‘being available’; for example, a
short paragraph, which states that village political institutions are dominated by a particular
faction or caste is considered sufficient to be coded “data available” on “political
relationships”. It is recognised that such a generous conception of data available will not
be found helpful by all users. The alternatives were (a) to adopt a more rigid definition
which would have resulted in ‘burying’ the brief piece of information which can so often
prove useful, or (b) to classify data by some measure of ‘detail’ or ‘extent’ – this proved
unworkable. Only 2 symbols are used:

1. Data are available

2. Data are not available

236
S.C.S.3

Items coded under this scheme relate to the availability of certain kinds of information,
mostly of a demographic/economic/land use nature, for which we might expect both to
find significant differences among the households/individuals comprising a village population
and to find information on these differences in village study reports. For example, included
under this heading are indications of the type of data available in the reports on mortality
rates, patterns of labour use, ownership of livestock etc. Information is classified by type
as well as by availability. There are two dimensions along which ‘type of information is
classified.

The first is whether data are presented, wholly or partly in quantitative form, or whether
only non-quantified data are available. The term ‘quantitative’ includes both varying scales
of measurement (simple numbers, weight, area, monetary value, time, etc.) and varying
forms statistical presentation (totals, ratios, average, frequencies etc.).

The second dimension is the classes) of the village population to which the data refer.
Two (of a very large possible number) of classes are used: ‘aggregate and ‘groups’. Each
concept requires some explanation.

‘Aggregate’ refers to the largest possible group (within the context of the village population),
to which the data could by definition refer. This is to often the total village population. For
example, information on mortality or on food intakes is necessarily of this type. In other
cases, the concept applies, by definition, to only part of the village population: under the
item entitled‘ Wages/conditions of employed labour’ we could by definition find data relating
only to that section of the village population which works for wages; information on the
‘average wage rate for all labourers’ would be entered as ‘aggregate’ data. Similarly,
information on ‘Use of Irrigation’ can logically refer only to that section of the population,
which operates land. Information coded as ‘aggregate’ may take one of three forms:

(a) a general statement, quantitative or non quantitative, relating to the whole of the
relevant population (e.g. the total death rate is X; the average proportion of irrigated
land per farmer is Y); (b) a series of statements about each of a number of sub-
categories which collectively constitute the aggregate (e.g. average daily per capita
food intake for men is A, for women is B, and for children is C); (c) a series of
statements about each of all the individual units (persons or households) which
constitute the aggregate (e.g. total income of each village household). Information
relating to a sample of the total population is coded as ‘aggregate’ only if it is felt that
the sample is of a reasonable size and correctly taken.

The term ‘Groups’ refers to some sub-category of the relevant ‘Aggregate’. Data are
coded as available for ‘Groups’ whether they refer to only one ‘Group’ or to all defined
‘Groups’. ‘Groups’ are commonly defined according to one of the following criteria: sex,
age, social status, size of farm owned or operated. In fact, most of the quantitative data
coded under Groups’ in this volume, especially under items relating to agriculture and the

237
economy, indicate the presence of information for all `groups’ defined according to criteria
of occupation or farm size.

Nine symbols are used for items coded under this scheme:
0 Quantitative data available for Aggregate only.
1. Non-quantitative data available for Aggregate only.
2. Quantitative data available for both Aggregate and Groups.
3. Quantitative data available for Aggregate and non-quantitative data for Groups.
4. Non-quantitative data available for Aggregate and quantitative data for Groups.
5. Non-quantitative data available for both Aggregate and Groups.
6. Quantitative data available for Groups only.
7. Non-quantitative data available for Groups only.
- No information

Interpretation of the Headings and items

The abbreviated HEADINGS used in the coded statements are explained below. Under
each of these HEADINGS, two or three numerical ITEMS are given. The first number is

Explanatory Notes

1. This includes studies not based on any defined sample, but relating to the village
population as a whole.

2. A subjective - and therefore very approximate - assessment of the relative overall

reliability of the data contained in the report. Assessments are based on data contained
in the report on fieldwork methods, on internal consistency, and in very many cases,
on judgements, on the research work of various research institutions visited for his
very purpose by members of the team responsible for this bibliography. A major
factor affecting the assessment is the length of time during which the fieldworkers
lived in the village. Reports written by the person(s) who conducted the fieldwork
are in general felt to be more reliable than those in which the writer played little or no
role in the fieldwork.

Note that this assessment of data reliability is independent of the clarity of the data
presentation, the sophistication of the analysis and the palatability of the conclusions
reaches.

3 This refers to the survey reported in the publication(s) annotated, i.e. in the case of
re-surveys, it does not include the data of the first survey.

4 The presence of two persons each for half the period of fieldwork is equivalent to the
full-time presence of one person.

5 Sketch maps are included.

6 It was not always possible to assign villages with complete confidence to one of the
five categories enumerated.

7 The definition of ‘town’ varies widely from country to country, and sometimes within
countries (See UN Demographic Yearbooks). A settlement of 2,000 persons may be
a fairly large village in one area, and a town in another. We have accepted the definitions

253
 of ‘town’ given in the reports. This is not as inconsistent as it may at first seem:
settlements are usually designated ‘towns’ when they fulfil mainly urban functions
(administration, trading, tertiary services in general). There is more consistency in
international usage that is implied by simple comparison of minimum population sizes
required for urban status.

8 The distance is generally measured from the outskirts rather than the town centre.

9 Town population is taken as that enumerated in the decennial censuses.

10 This refers to the actual distance travelled on the ground, and not to a national link on
a map.
11 Main road is defined to be a well-used road, with public transport facilities, and
usually connecting two major settlement centres. There is clearly potential for
conflicting interpretations.

12 ‘Public’ implies that villagers are in practice able to purchase transport, regardless of
whether or not there is formally a public transport system.

13 ‘Retail outlets’ are defined as permanent institutions (i.e. excluding hawkers) selling
goods produced outside the village.

14 This includes all persons/institutions giving loans for profit.

15 Measured at the recording station nearest the village, calculated with reference to as
many years as data are available, and rounder to the nearest number ending in 0.

16 The total is rounded to the nearest number ending in 0.

17 A very subjective and relative categorisation. Some weighing is given to such factors
as workability, which, while not affecting fertility in a direct sense, contributes to the
determination of agricultural potential.

18 There should be sufficient information for the soil scientist to be able to make some
classification.

19 The total area of the village is preferably defined on administrative criteria; failing
that, customarily accepted boundaries are used. In India the administrative (revenue)
village nearly always corresponds meaningfully to a settlement and to the bulk of the
lands owned/operated by persons living in that settlement.

20 ‘Not cropped’ refers to the actual physical area, which is cropped at any time during
the agricultural year. The ‘gross cropped’ area refers to the summation of the areas
cropped in each season of the agricultural year. ‘The gross cropped’ area refers to
the summation of the arrears cropped in each season of the agricultural year. For

 example, take a village with 100 hectares of arable land divided into two areas A and
B each of 50 hectares, and having two cropping seasons in the year. If area A is
cropped in the first season and area B in the second season, the net cropped area is
100 hectares. If, however, half of area A is cropped again in the second season, the
gross cropped area is 125 hectares.

21 For present purposes, the area ‘cropped’ includes the area sown to crops, which fail
to mature. Included in both net and gross cropped areas is the area of land fallowed
for a short-term; i.e. one year; land fallowed for longer periods is not included.
Permanent crops (e.g. tea and similar shrubs), or crops in the ground for two or
more agricultural seasons (e.g., sugar cane), are counted only once.

22 Land operators are the persons primarily responsible for day-to-day decision-making
and management.

23 ‘Ownership’ entails: (i) a claim to a portion of the usufruct legitimised by the concept
of ‘property rights’ rather than by claims of religious or political hegemony (tithes or
taxes); (ii) ‘de facto’ rights to control the use of land. Persons holding a mortgage
over land are not treated as owners. Persons holding land nominally ‘owned’ by
superior political authorities (the State in parts of India) are considered owners if they
have the ‘de facto’ ability to sell and lease land. Persons occupying land under
customary tenure are considered to be owners. Thus the emphasis of the concept of
ownership used here is on ‘de facto; control over the use and usufruct of land, and is
intended primarily to distinguish ‘owners’ from ‘tenants’.

24 Payment in produce typically, but not necessarily, coincides with share-cropping, i.e.
payment of a fixed share of the crop.

25 Accurate scale maps of fields and plots qualify as quantitative data.

26 Included here are all goods, agricultural and non-agricultural, produced by villagers.
The relative importance of different products is measured ideally by reference to the
monetary values. Where data are not given on output values, relative importance is
estimated by using data as exist on cropped area, yields, income sources, etc.

Commodities are coded here only if they are ‘important’ defined such that they must
account f9or at least 20% of the total value of villagers’ output. Thus a code (*)
indicating ‘phenomena absent’ rarely means that no other commodities are produced
at all, by simply that there are no others of ‘importance’.

Goods produced by enterprises located outside the village and using the hired labour
of villagers (e.g., factory-made products) ate not considered here.

27 Products, which are usually produced on a large-scale only if destined primarily for
sale.

255
28 Calculated ideally by reference to the monetary value of sales. Where there is necessary,
estimation is conducted as described in note 26 above. Only commodities accounting
for a least 20% of the total monetary value of all sales are included.

29 ‘Agricultural system’ is used as convenient shorthand for the broader concept of

‘system of biological exploitation of the environment’: it includes fishing. Seven
types of ‘agricultural’ system have been designed. The difference between them is
largely a matter 1-4, which are different points on a continuous of cropping intensity.
The categorisation proved, however, to be very workable, and rarely required judgement
on finely balanced issue. Where two or more systems were practiced in the village,
relative importance was defined by the relative contributions to total output (in monetary
values).

30 Before being used in the field, irrigation water may pass through more than one of the
listed irrigation devices, i.e., it may emanate directly from a lake, which is fed from a
canal system. Where possible, both devices are coded. If lack of space dictates a
choice the device ultimately of most importance (i.e. in our example, probably the
canal), is coded.

31 Quantities, areas, values, etc.

32 ‘New seeds’ indicates new strains associated with the ‘green revolution’.

33 The concept of ‘expenditure’ normally includes imputed values for home-produced

item of consumption.

34 Data refer to recent rather than historical events.

35 Examples of ‘economic sectors’ are: agriculture, dairying, sheep rearing, fishing,

artisan production, services, white-collar occupations, and trading.

36 Occupational specialisation is unusual in the villages included in this bibliography.

There are a number of ways of distinguishing primary, secondary, (and tertiary)
occupations” the relative income earned, the proportion of working time spent at
each, or some more subjective assessment. For bibliographical purposes once can
but accept the varying definitions adopted in the original studies.

37 ‘Function’ refers to relationships to the means of production: self-employed, employer,

wage-labourer, share cropper, etc.

38 For present purposes an ‘industrial’ establishment is one in which at least 12 persons

work in one place in manufacturing and/or processing.

39 Data may be presented in a variety of forms: in person-months, weeks, or days, the

latter sometimes standardised in eight-hour or ten-hour days.

256
40 Housework and related activities (food processing, collection of water and firewood,
preparation of dung-cakes for firing) are excluded from the category ‘economic
activities’.

41 Data coded here may sometimes relate only to crop production and processing,
excluding other activities such as animal-care, repair of implements, and marketing.

42 The labour input into agriculture may at certain times of the year be so low that it can
reasonably be excluded from consideration.

43 The distinction between ‘participation’ and ‘non-participation] often has very limited
meaning where family farming prevails, where much food processing is undertaken
by women who are considered as not economically-active; and where climatic
conditions and disease reduce the effectiveness of work undertaken. The concept is
however widely used in the reports included in this bibliography, sometimes
supplemented with an intermediate category of ‘part-time participant’ or ‘helper’ (as
opposed to self-supporting worker’).

44 The concept of family labour’ includes all non-hired labour e.g. exchange labour.

45 Data coded here would take the form, for example, of average area of cereals harvested
per man-day; a simple calculation of total output per man-day of work of all kinds is
insufficient.

46 ‘Schools’ are defined to mean all educational institutions, regardless of how, or by

whom, organised, except those, which teach only, or almost entirely, religious doctrine
and fail to teach literacy in the language of daily usage.

47 ‘Primary’ refers to the age groups between about five and eleven years of age. Indian
‘middle schools’ are usually categorised as ‘primary’.

48 School attendance is invariably lower than registration statistics imply.

49 This includes data on types of remedies used, relationship of practices to religious

beliefs, use of medical facilities, etc.

50 This broad category, covering nutrition advisers and midwives as well as doctors and
nurses, refers to practitioners using ‘modern’ ‘western’ concepts/training/drugs; it
is intended specifically to exclude ‘traditional’ practitioners.

51 The language habitually used by the majority of the population.

52 The ‘national language’ is defined as the language of the bulk of the population and of
administration in the relevant polity; in the Indian case the polity is the individual state.

257
 Intelligible dialects of the national language are treated as part o0f the national language.
The aim of this categorisation is the identification of linguistic and ethnic minorities.

53 It was occasionally difficult to decide how to classify minority religions (e.g. tribal
animism, Christianity) deeply influenced by Hinduism.

54 For the purpose of this bibliography the category ‘non-major religions’ includes all
religions except those named (i,e., Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Sikhism
and Confucianism).

55 ‘Institutions’ is defined broadly to include human religious functionaries and places

of worshi9p or religious veneration.

56 This refers only to institutions formally representing all the population (and therefore
elected by adults) or all village households (and therefore elected by household heads
usually adult males).

57 These institutions may be representative bodies, formal political parties, or other

institutions, which play a primarily political role, e.g. many youth movements.

58 This includes only permanent institutions with some formally defined structure.

59 i.e., co-operatives supplying inputs for farmers (fertiliser, seed) or raw material for
persons engaged in processing (e.g., coir for coir weavers).
