This case study analyzes critical success factors for digital technology projects in service-learning courses at Pace University, a leading school of computer science and information systems in New York City. The study argues that the factors of collaboration, pedagogy, project management, strategy, and technology are foundational not only to implementing and generating meaningful benefits from projects, but also to ensuring durable and fruitful partnerships with nonprofit organizations. The findings from this case study will help instructors considering expansion of high-tech service-learning courses to secure innovative partnerships by encouraging all parties involved to maintain focus on service and human interactions rather than simply on technology.

It is alleged that the agricultural output in poor countries responds very little to movements in prices and costs because of subsistence-oriented produc¬tion and self-produced inputs. The work of Gupta and Majid is concerned with the empirical verification of the responsiveness of farmers to prices and marketing policies in a backward region. The authors' analysis of the respon¬siveness of farmers to economic incentives is based on two sets of data (concern¬ing sugarcane, cash crop, and paddy, subsistence crop) collected from the district of Deoria in Eastern U.P. (Utter Pradesh) a chronically foodgrain deficit region in northern India. In one set, they have aggregate time-series data at district level and, in the other, they have obtained data from a survey of five villages selected from 170 villages around Padrauna town in Deoria.
