Description In the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF)-
supported Village Dynamics in South Asia (VDSA) Project
of the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-
Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), 42 villages (18 in the semi-arid
tropics (SAT) of peninsular India, 12 in Humid Tropics of
East India, and 12 in Bangladesh) were selected, based
on certain relevant characteristics, to track rural poverty
in household and village economies in the region,
to provide the most efficient way to understand the
farming systems in rural areas, and to identify the socioeconomic
constraints faced by the farming community.
In the SAT region, 18 villages spread across 9 districts in
5 states were identified for the study, of which 6 were
chosen way back in 1975 under the erstwhile Village
Level Studies (VLS) project of the Economics Program
of ICRISAT, while 12 new villages were included in the
expanded VDSA project during 2009. Markabbinahalli
is one of these 12 new villages
