Therefore, the strategies of rural development have been changing over the years. In this book, seventeen research papers which tried to cover the most important facets of the rural economy of India have been included. If also seeks to examine the impact of various development programmes on the intended groups. These papers are carefully sculptured by the learned contributors. It is hoped that this book will prove helpful for students, teachers and scholars engaged in this field.
