Decisions made on incomplete information may be quantitatively accurate, but in terms of the dynamics of the changes, they are fuzzy, anecdotal and fragmented. Reducing poverty is a dynamic process that is driven by individuals, families, firms and institutions within a changing technological, institutional, socio-economic and policy environment. The understanding of village-level information and ground realities can act as an important catalyst in accelerating development. It provides a working knowledge of the rural economy, which can point to ways in which the development of rural livelihood pathways can be achieved at a quicker pace. date: 2013 date_type: published publisher: International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics place_of_pub: Patancheru, Andhra Pradesh, India institution: International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics department: RP-Markets, Institutions And Policies related_url_url: http://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?as_q=%22Village+Dynamics+in+South+Asia%22&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_occt=title&as_sauthors=&as_publication=&as_ylo=&as_yhi=&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5 related_url_type: pub citation: ICRISAT, - (2013) Village Dynamics in South Asia.
