Report of the Indian Delegation to China on Agrarian Co-operatives

Abstract

During Madame Sun Yat-sen’s visit to India in December 1955, Prof. Chen Han-seng who accompanied her, met the Planning Commission and discussed with them the developments that had taken place in China in the field of Agrarian Co-operatives. As agricultural problems facing India and China are essentially similar, both countries having to maintain a large population on a relatively limited supply of land, the Planning Commission decided to send a team "to study in greater detail the methods adopted in China for developing agrarian co-operatives".
