This book deals extensively with the subject of rural development
under three main categories. The first category examines the concept and
determinants of rural development. The second category examines the
agricultural and rural development policies, policy models and the
various programmes initiated in India. In the third category, aspects of
organization and management in rural development are examined in detail,
with special emphasis on planning, financing, implementation, monitoring
and evaluation.
The book is well documented and would be of great use as a textbook
for students as well as for policy-makers associated with rural planning
and development.
