This paper aims to study the measurement of the multidimensional poverty index among farm-level households in the Barak Valley zone of Assam. It also studies its relation to agricultural performance and quality of life. The methodology used in this study was based on the collection of primary data and field observations. Samples for statistics were taken from heads of rural households in selected Agricultural Development Circles of three districts of Barak Valley. The sample consisted of 450 Households. The present paper analyses the agriculture-human development linkage of Barak Valley. Each component of agricultural performance is analysed with the help of factor indices. The factor indices assist in understanding the actual agricultural situation of sample ADOs in Barak Valley. Several indices have been constructed to address the objectives of the study, which include: (a) Agricultural Performance Index (API), (b) Human Development by Quality-of-Life Index, (c) Multidimensional Poverty Index, etc. All these indices have been constructed at the household level. Moreover, suitable statistical, regression techniques and econometric models will be used to analyse the relationship among the variables of the study.
