"This study is a comprehensive analysis of the nature, the dynamics and the determinants of poverty in the\r\nsemi-arid tropics (SAT). It uses the sustainable livelihood framework to identify the underlying determinants\r\nof poverty and the pathways in moving out of poverty. Quantitative analysis based on the most recent National\r\nSample Surveys (NSS) of India (1999-2000 round) generated classifications of relevant typologies including\r\nagroecological zones, occupational groups, irrigation access and social groups. It shows that poverty in India is\r\nconcentrated most in the SAT and humid areas. It identifies caste and occupational groups facing highest\r\nincidence of poverty. The typologies systematized the establishment of linkages between rural poverty and the\r\nsemi-arid tropics.\r\nThe study presents a synthesis of evidence and lessons learnt from the village level studies (VLS) by the\r\nInternational Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) and other household level case\r\nstudies - income and expenditure levels, incidence of poverty and under-nutrition and coping strategies when\r\nfaced with droughts and other income shocks. The empirical analysis uses both the quantitative and the\r\nqualitative data to document the existing and emerging evidences on the spatial and the social dimensions of\r\npoverty. The poverty diagnostics and strategic assessment of the issues confronting SAT generated a\r\ncomprehensive perspective from both the micro and the macro levels, thus deepening our understanding of\r\nthe multi-dimensional nature of SAT poverty.\r\nThe study reviews the existing poverty alleviation programs (their merits and demerits and successes and\r\nfailures) and concludes with a set of recommendations on strategies to increase the contribution of SAT\r\nagriculture to poverty reduction."^^ .
