A History of Agriculture in India v1.c4.8

v1.c4.8

I have been generously assisted by Mr T. P. Saxena, Librarian of the Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana; Dr J. S. Sharma, University Librarian, Panjab University Library, Chandigarh; Mr Rama Tirth, University Librarian, Govind Ballabh Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar; Mr S. P. Phadnis, Head, Library Services, Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi; Mr L. Ramachandran, Librarian, Haryana Agricultural University, Hissar; and the Librarian of the University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore. Mr T. P. Saxena also prepared the index. For typing the manuscript and for general assistance I record my appreciation of the devoted work of Mr Ram Lal Sharma, my Personal Assistant-cum-Research Fellow, who worked indefatigably. But for his assistance it would not have been possible for me to handle an intricate work of this nature. Dr Kishan Singh Bedi was kind enough to edit the typescript. Mr M. K. Bardhan and Mr D. Hazra designed the title cover, and Mr O. P. Gulhati prepared the layout of the illustrations. For editorial work I am indebted to Messrs P. L. Jaiswal, S. N. Tata and R. S. Gupta. Mr T. C. S. Sastry, Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, New Delhi, was of great help in standardizing botanical nomenclature. Mr K. E. Sankaran gave many useful suggestions. Mr Krishan Kumar looked after the production of this book ably and saw it through the press with a sense of dedication. In this work he was assisted by Shri J. B. Mehra.
