Rural Industrialisation in India (its nature and problems)

Recent developments in rural industrialisation in India have created a gap and it appears that the existing literature dealing with rural industrialisation fails to bridge this gap adequately. For years, many teachers of rural economics, other professional economists, administrators, planners and policy-makers for rural development have felt the need of a suitable book on rural industrialisation to fill this gap created by the current economic developments in India. This book has been planned by the author keeping in view the needs of the society. Designed primarily for the students, the book will be useful in the ever-growing field of rural economics education and will also be of interest to other readers.
The book gives the essentials of the subject-matter in a precise manner. It offers an opportunity to understand what is really going on in the field of rural industrialisation in India, the difficulties being faced and the ordeals that lie in store ahead. One may or may not agree with everything said and discussed in the book. The challenges implied in the book have, however, to be faced and met, if the rural economy is to grow into an enduring reality. This book should go a long way to remove the inadequacies of the rural industrialisation programmes emanating from a casual lounge chair critic. It will provide ample light to those who are carnestly in search of it.
