Description:... India's economy is dominated by the rural sector, and therefore rural development has always been a primary concern of Indian policy-makers. Rural Development in India presents a critical overview of the government's rural development schemes, approaching the subject in a holistic framework, unlike most studies in this field. Professor Maheshwari reviews original policy assumptions and presents rational policy options and strategies for meaningful interventions in the future.
