Summary, etc. This book presents a systematic measurement of poverty in rural India on a state-wise basis, and analyses the factors underlying the observed inter-state differences. Covering the period 1960-61 to 1983-84, the data provide estimates of rural poverty, both absolute and relative, based on alternative concepts and criteria. The author uses cross-section and time-series evidence to highlight differences across space and changes over time. The relationships between poverty and malnutrition, disease and morbidity, and the inadequacy of health and educational facilities are also discussed.<br/><br/>In the second part of the book the author uses regression analysis to identify reasons for inter-state differences in rural poverty, and attempts to establish a causality between poverty and each of the explanatory variables which emerge as significant. The living conditions of agricultural workers, who form the majority of the rural poor, are also examined. The final chapter evaluates some of the major programmes launched by the government to tackle the poverty problem.<br/><br/>The author adopts an approach and methodology different from other studies in this field, and her book fills an important gap in the literature on the subject.<br/><br/>ROHINI NAYYAR is a Consultant in the Planning Commission, Government of India. She is currently working on issues related to employment and rural development.
