    Abstract

    Background: The meso-level dataset for India and Bangladesh contains data pertaining to the performance, structure and dynamics of agricultural economy at country level and its disaggregation at state/region, district, and sub-district level. The dataset maintained by ICRISAT and updated under the Village Dynamics in South Asia (VDSA) Project provides a comprehensive one-stop shop for data related to key agricultural and socioeconomic variables that are relevant for hypotheses testing, identification of regions/ districts for priority setting, and targeted poverty alleviation development initiatives. The meso-data thus acts as a link between the country/state/district level macro/meso-data and household-level micro data (see Figure 1).
