Abstract
This is an exploration of the changing dynamics in rural and agricultural societies as they are undergone economic transformation. It typically looks at how economic growth, modernization, policy changes, and globalization affect the structure of rural economies, land ownership, labour relations, caste/class structures, and the broader agrarian community. Economic development brings significant transformation in agrarian social relations, but the process is uneven and complex. Traditional hierarchies are challenged, but new forms of dependency and inequality emerge. Sustainable and inclusive rural development requires policy interventions that balance productivity, equity, and social justice. The agrarian relation is changing from traditional to contractual. Jajmani system is demolishing because Thakurs are losing their identity and service caste is getting cash payment rather than kind. Economic development bringing a social change i.e. caste limitations are decreasing, and a new form of caste class nexus is emerging in the form of owner and labourer. It is found that there is a great need to study the development or changes in agricultural system with relation to social aspects of human life. It may be providing a new dimension to the sociological research in the present context.
