This volume is the outcome of the author's work carried out in different states of India in recent years. Many aspects of rural economy have been covered here. Starting from poverty, self-help groups, health, accounting procedures, infrastructure planning to women participation have been included here. Since the book is on the development issues so socio-economic indicators of all the states are included as annexure. The present self employ-ment programme mainly includes Swarnajayanti Gram Swarojgar Yojana (SGSY) and wage employment includes Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) both have been discussed with field studies. Infrastructure programme like Gokul Gram Yojana which was sponsored by the Gujarat Government has been discussed here so that people from other parts of the country can get an idea about this programme.
