Produktbeschreibung

Since the nation's independence, the union and state governments of India have employed a variety of development strategies, some of which have evolved over time. The model of development implemented in Bihar in recent decades is different from its prior development strategies. Along with a number of social reform initiatives, the Bihar government implemented the "development-with-justice" model to enhance the lives and living circumstances of the most marginalized groups of the population and ensure the attainment of social justice.
In light of the aforementioned context, this book offers an understanding of the various aspects of the Bihar government's "development-with-justice" model, and the effects of its implementation on lives and quality of living conditions of the state's underprivileged population. The book covers a wide spectrum of areas such as history of social reform measures, social justice in education, health, labour market, etc., caste- and gender-based discrimination, women's empowerment, migrant workers, poverty, inequality, agrarian concerns, planning for development, and so on. Besides recommending policies to improve the state's development outcomes, this book will aid researchers in identifying topics that may require additional research.

Clearly researched, concise, and up-to-date, this book will be useful to the students and researchers from the fields of development economics, development studies, gender studies, sociology, political science, economic history, as well as the policy-planners in the government.
