Biography

Patnaik obtained her doctorate in economics from the Somerville College, Oxford, before returning to India to join JNU.[2] Her main areas of research interest are the problems of transition from agriculture and peasant predominant societies to an industrial society, both in a historical context and at present about India; and questions relating to food security and poverty.[citation needed]
