The book entitled Objective Agricultural Economics is a compilation work and embodies a fairly comprehensive treatment of the objective type questions on basic and current facts of Agricultural Economics. This book was originally published in the year 2010 and keeping in view of the increase in demand for this book, it was revised in 2012 as it covers all the courses of Agricultural Economics offered by various State Agricultural Universities at graduate level as per the revised curricula recommended by the IV Deans Committee appointed by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research. Hope this volume will be very useful to the graduate and post-graduate students and to those students appearing for competitive examinations like Junior Research Fellowship (JRF), Senior Research Fellowship (SRF), Agricultural Research Service (ARS), National Eligibility Test (NET), State Level Eligibility Test (SLET) and Civil Services Examinations. This book also serves as a guide to the students to test their knowledge in the field of Agricultural Economics. About the Author Dr. K.
