520			_aThis volume brings together the papers presented at a Seminar on "Development of Hill Areas" organised by the Giri Institute of Development Studies, Lucknow at Nainital in April 1980. The Seminar was sponsored by the National Committee on Development of Backward Areas, Planning Commission, Government of India. This papers included in this volume provide a comprehensive analysis of the various facets of development in the hill areas of the country at large. A major feature of this volume is that for the first time, perhaps, an attempt has been made to analyse the problems of hill area development in India from an inter-disciplinary perspective. Contributors include academics working in Universities, Research Institutes and other centres of learning, policy makers and administrators. The topics covered range from general issues in the conceptualising and understanding the development problems of hill areas as a special category of backward areas in the country to specific area and/or sector studies. The book should be of great interest not only to an academic audience working in or interested in the area of hill development but also to policy makers, administrators and the general public concerned with the issue.
