| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study tried to understand the reason of underdevelopment in agriculture in Assam, India from the perspective of multi-ethnic society which is inherent in the region. From questionnaire survey and hearing survey, it is revealed that socio-economic status of ethnic groups in Assam is significantly different and the importance of agricultural development is also different among ethnic groups. Especially, in the village of indigenous non-tribal Hindu groups called Axamiya which population dominates in the state, interest in agriculture become lower recently which leads farm abandonment and changing agricultural land use. The inter-ethnic relationship is one of the key factor for sustainability of agriculture in Assam.
