Abstract

The economies of an Indian village with special reference to Agriculture, Cooperation and Accounts as at present exist, and how improvements could be brought about, with particular attention to the conditions of a typical village. The village of whose economic conditions, I am detailing in the following pages is fairly typical in its agriculture, in the class of ite people, and in the general ways of their life of a good portion of Tanjore District. Lying on both sides of the Cauveri, the village of Sarukkai is bounded on the two sides by the rivers Coleroon and Arasalar, the branches of the Cauveri itself. There are thus within a breadth of 1 miles of this village three important rivers, with a net work of irrigation channels.
