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. Tharati (including the nearby hamlet
Ajjihalli) is one of these 12 new villages.
