The book titled â€˜SocioEconomic Impact Assessment of BT Cotton in Indiaâ€™ is based on a comprehensive study of the impact of Bt cotton in nine major cotton producing states of India. Both secondary and primary data were used to arrive at the conclusions. The yield of cotton has substantially increased in India in the past one decade due to the adoption of Bt cotton as well as improved irrigation and favourable output prices. However, concerns have been raised about its ecological sustainability and economic advantage for small farmers in the long run. The book analyses both positive and negative aspects of the cultivation of Bt cotton in India.
