- Jaipur Classic 1994
- 160 p.
The book is a collection of articles on the New Economic Policy and its impact on vulnerable sections. The articles debate on the rationale and the imperative to change the economic policies and how the vulnerable sections are likely to be affected by accelerated growth as well as expected changes in the composition of growth. The articles explore the rationale for public interventions in favour of vulnerable sections, the strategy to be adopted and the design of such programmes, particularly how basic education and health services could be made more cost effective and more target oriented.
