This study goes beyond the quantitative loss and puts forward a pioneering effort to estimate both quantitative and qualitative losses for paddy in Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, and Punjab, and for wheat, maize, and soybean in Madhya Pradesh based on primary survey of 1200 farmers. At farmer level, mechanization and use of proper storage techniques are crucial to reduce losses. However, it is also imperative for the government to reduce losses in the grain management at the centre and state levels, during the process of procurement, storage, and public distribution system. In this regard, the present study also analyses factors driving these losses in the food grain management system in India through secondary data analysis and case studies of different storage types.  The book also traces the role of private investment in storage infrastructure to reduce post-harvest losses in India.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"d_normalheder\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAbout the Author(s) \/ Editor(s)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"more\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr. Ashok Gulati\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis currently Distinguished Professor at the Indian Council for Research on International Economic Relations (ICRIER).

But such innate dynamism at the grassroots is seldom noticed or nurtured. This stakeholder group capable of leading the transformation process is clubbed into an omnibus category of ‘the poor’ and slotted for a bewildering array of social welfare measures which either do not reach or end up creating a dependency syndrome.
