| Résumé |
Les plateaux secs du Deccan connaissent les prémices d'une Révolution verte portant de façon inégale sur les millets, le maïs et le riz irrigué. Malgré l'incertitude pluviométrique, la production augmente fortement, comme le démontre le cas d'une région. Dans un village étudié, tous les groupes sociaux en ont retiré un avantage. L'extension des infrastructures, l'industrialisation et le dynamisme urbain jouent un rôle moteur dans le développement rural. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |

Overpopulated Countrysides, Countrysides in a Developmental Stage. A Green Revolution on the dry Deccan plateaus of peninsular India ? The dry Deccan plateaus have been experiencing a new «Green Revolution » since the mid-Seventies. The landscape of this Green Revolution is varied and changing because there are regional differences in cropping patterns and also because the new high-yielding varieties show unequal performances. Irrigated rice and maize (in the wet parts of the precambrian regions), eleusine or ragi (Mysore Plateau), pearl millet or bajra (western Maharashtra) fare better than sorghum or jowar, which is grown extensively in other regions. The rainfall uncertainty is the main handicap to agricultural modernization in "millet" India. Irrigation (by wells, tanks or modern dams) can protect but a minor portion of the cultivated land. The regional case of Telangana shows a rapid growth of cereal production, following a period of stagnation. Up to now, the socio-economic effects of the Green Revolution have benefitted all the rural classes, as illustrated by a village study. Rural development has also been largely enhanced by public investments in infrastructural facilities and by industrial and urban growth. A likely success in the production of millet will lead to overproduction and possible shifts in the cropping systems and in the rural economy ; commercial crops (cotton, oil-seeds) may then be favoured.
