Inclusive Value Chains: A Pathway Out Of Poverty


Book Description

“Modern” integrated value chains need not necessarily exclude the smallest producers as this book aims to explain in detail by case studies. The issue is particularly topical in India, where modern retailing has come to the scene only recently and the majority of whose population are still small farmers and artisans. Following a brief introduction to the problem, 14 case studies from India are presented to illustrate how it is being solved in practice. The book also discusses the impact of organized retailing on small-scale traders, and finally analyses the case studies for an overview, with conclusions and learnings drawn from them. Inclusive Value Chains shows by practical examples that it is possible to link the smallest producers of fresh produce, commodities and handicrafts profitably, to modern integrated markets, within the country of origin as well as abroad.




Odisha of My Times


Book Description

Odisha of my times is a faithful rendition in English of Mo Samayara Odisha, published in Odia in 1978 by the eminent historian and archaeologist, Dr. Krishna Chandra Panigrahi. It is more than an autobiography. In it is mirrored not only the author’s story of growing up amid adversity and his struggle up the academic echelon, it also is the pen-picture of the prevalent socio-cultural and academic world of Odisha of fifty years (1920s to late-1970s). Honest, candid, forthright, even at times unsparing, it is a no-holds-barred portrayal of the shenanigans and nepotism that the author experienced and of the contemporary times. The frank and guileless views expressed in the Odia book endeared the readers to the book that ran into multiple editions, apart from receiving the Odisha Sahitya Academy award in 1978. The author was conferred the fourth highest civilian award Padma Shri from the Republic of India in 1976 for his contribution in the field of literature and education.

Unfathomed - #ThinkingNidra


Book Description

Man’s most experiential philosophy, I believe is made through poetry as poetry is an outcome of realism and not fantasy. Unfathomed #ThinkingNidra is one such ambitious book of mine as it deals with that experience and observation. This book is a collection of poems that brings out the most experiential brush with love, longing, separation, acceptance and finally contentment. It’s a saga of a lyrical heart, which is penned down with utmost true emotions, unalloyed intellect and unbiased observations. Almost all the poems depict a sensitive heart’s journey about expectations, dejections and finally teachings that today’s life has to offer. I welcome you all to be a part of that stroke of life—that everyone might’ve been brushed with. I welcome you to try to unfathom through my thoughts.
