A. Amarender Reddy, Sandra Ricart and Tim Cadman (2020)TRIBAL AND NON-TRIBAL FARMERS’ LAND RIGHTS AND FOOD SECURITY PROMOTION IN TELANGANA, SOUTH ASIA RESEARCH Vol. 40(1): 75–93
This article examines and compares the status of land rights and their impacts on agricultural productivity, food security and well-being in a set of tribal and non-tribal villages in Telangana. Based on an intensive field survey, the research confirms that tribals without formal land rights remain largely unable to benefit from government support and access to private institutions in terms of getting credit and farm extension, whereas in non-tribal villages, government organisations are pro-active in providing such support.
