     Summary

Economic reforms have not paid adequate attention to health and education sectors. The industrial growth of India is becoming elite-oriented by registering relatively large increases in the production of commodities consumed by wealthy people. It is noteworthy that 70 percent of India’s population still lives in rural areas. India’s recent economic growth performance is creditable. However, is has not made any demonstrable difference to the lives of the poorest and the vulnerable sections society. The present volume contains 12 well-researched papers-contributed by scholars in the field-which provide deep insights into India’s recent growth pattern and its deficiencies.
