Studies in Cooperative Framing (December 1956)

Abstract

During 1955, in connection with the work of the Reorganisation Committee of the Panel on Land Reform set up by the Planning Commission, the Programme Evaluation Organisation arranged through its staff for the study of a number of selected cooperative farming societies in different parts of the country. The societies were suggested by State Governments. Each of them was visited by an Evaluation Officer who spent a few days in ascertaining the facts concerning its composition and working and prepared answers to the two questionnaires which are reproduced in the Appendix to this volume. The material so obtained has been brought together in this volume and edited where necessary in the light of the comments received from the Agriculture and Cooperative Departments of the State concerned.
