My M.Phil programme was of two years
wherein I had four papers
and a Comprehensive
Dissertation.
The Ph.D.work is a field based Thesis which I had to defend in front of two External Experts.
2. The two most significant publications can be taken as the two books. If you would like to consider Articles, I would submit Sl. Nos. 5,6,7,14 and 15 provided in the List of Publications. Those have been published by Sage, Duncker and Humboldt, etc.

7. Given an option I would like to offer additional papers on Sociology of the Peasantry,Rural Sociology/Rural Development and most importantly Development Management(more so in the aftermath of globalisation and communication revo- lution) .
I come from a remote
village of Sambalpur
District,
You can see from my List of Publications that I have done well during 1985-92 and slackened after 1996.Last six years I have been in my native state and have not been in a position to publish the Drafts because of lack of incentives and complacency. I could do well when I worked outside under
pressure in a competitive environment. Given a chance in your international environment, I am sure I would be in a position to get all the backlogs published and also try with new areas of teaching and research. I would like to continue research in the areas of Development induced displacement,
Agrarian economy, Development Management and Sociology of Disaster.
My Ph.D.Thesis was`
Economic Exchanges in Rural India : A Comparative Study of six Villages in Orissa'. I have started with the rationale for the selection
of the topic in post- colonial
In the Second chapter I have provided the rationale for the selection of the six villages in Sambalpur District, Orissa and have discussed thread-bare the techniques of data collection and the limitations of the study.
In the next three chapters I have discussed in detail the coopeartaive and exploitative economic exchanges in land,labour, credit and market in the irrigated and non-irrigated tribal, peasant and suburban villages in all their ramifications.
In chapter six I have discussed the precepts and practices in Planning in Orissa and their implications for these villages. Here I have seen the interaction of the formal and informal organisations in the context of agrarian economy.
I have come with the
conclusions that at the fag end of colonial rule Sambalpur district had a type
of semi-feudal economy. After
