Rural Household Savings and Investment:A Study of Some Selected Villages

This book is primarily the report of a field study carried out from March to December 1986 in two villages each from Kerala and Tamil Nadu to gain some insight into the factors affecting the levels of saving of 445 purposively selected rural households and the pattern of its disposition during the calendar year 1985. The study was sponsored and financed by NABARD. When one considers the dates of field study and publication of the book, one wonders why it has taken the author six years to publish it.
