A report on Indian village poverty and social work, and partly a presentation of a theory of how such work can be done effectively on a wider scale. Duane Spencer Hatch (1888-1963) was an agriculturalist, researcher and pioneer in rural reconstruction and community development. He had been connected with India since 1916. Up from Poverty is based upon the author's personal study, experimentation and practice, and on those of his Indian colleagues and fellow rural workers.
