DEVELOPMENT ISSUES

The book provides a lucid understanding of the issues and facets of development. Considering the fact that it is the outcome of the seminar proceedings, it is not redundant to say that it leaves one with a clear understanding of development, and the people’s interaction with natural resources and other social organisations in the context of development.

The writer’s contributions are undoubtedly varied and the contents have been discussed under relevant themes. It is an excellent reading for the student, the planner, the statesman and the social scientist.
