, EDITORIAL COMMITTEE of The Indian Journal of Agricultural Economics PROF. J. J. ANJARIA (Chairman) DR. G. D. AGRAWAL SHRI K. G. SIVASWAMY DR. M. B. DESAI (Managing Editor) NOTE ON RESEARCH IN AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS During the last few years considerable progress has been made in research in agricultural economics in India. We felt that if a census of all such research work is compiled and published, it would be of immense value to research workers and would open up new opportunities for mutual co-operation and co-ordination. Therefore, with a view to collecting information on the subject, we issued, last year, a brief question- naire to Vice-Chancellors of 27 Universities; Chief Secretaries of 18 Part A and Part B State Governments; and 19 other Institutions doing research in agricultural economics. We received in all 49 replies to our questionnaire. Out of 13 State Governments and 14 Universities which responded to the questionnaire, six Governments and six Universities stated that no research work had been done in their respective areas. However, some of the State Govern- ments and Universities directed our questionnaire to some of the educa- tional institutions and Departments in their areas. We received in all 22 replies from educational and other research institutions out of which five stated that no research work had been undertaken by them. We had thought of releasing the results of this enquiry at the time of our last Annual Conference held at Trivandrum. But as we did not get adequate number of replies in time, we had to withhold publication of the same. We now publish the information in the form of a statement giving the names of Institutions and the research undertaken by them. It will be seen that during the last ten years, considerable research work has been done in University Departments, Colleges, Government and other Research Institutions. It is particularly gratifying to note that agricultural economics has attracted the attention of many research students studying for various post-graduate •degrees of the different Universities. A number of Universities and Governments, however, do not still have separate research departments with adequate facilities for conduct' ing research in agricultural economics. Another point that deserves t° be noted is that much of the research work done remains unpublished, probably due to paucity of funds. Systematic editing and publication of the research would undoubtedly be an invaluable addition to the available literature on agricultural economics. In this connection, we would like to invite the attention of all research workers to our Journal which would always welcome articles based on research in this subject. We do hope that research workers will avail themselves of this facility. We take this opportunity to thank all those who were good enough to respond to our questionnaire. It is our intention to publish fr0111 time to time a statement of research work done in agricultural economics in India. We, therefore, request all Institutions doing research in agri- cultural economics to communicate to the Society every year about the new enquiries completed, as well as, on hand. 70 72.• 's "e -6
