Abstract

The revival of dynamism of the Punjab economy is going to be multi-dimensional in nature. In this effort, multiple sections have to be involved and emphasized. Peasantry is one of such sections as it has been most adversely affected and the major part of it is under stress. The involvement of peasantry in this process, especially for building fresh dynamism in agriculture is possible through their organizations. A consensus can be built on acceptable agrarian agenda. For the last three decades, several attempts have been made in the name of diversification of agriculture but the efforts have not been successful. One of the reasons for diversification not taking-off has been lack of involvement of peasant organizations in arriving at an acceptable agenda of agrarian change. In order to understand this, a genesis has to be made of the derailment of the vision or perspective of agrarian agenda commonly developed by the peasant movement during the 1970s and 1980s. The paper attempts to relate the state’s New Agricultural Policy, peasants’ vision and emerging agrarian situation in the state.
