Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rural development encompasses a wide range of activities and policy overtones directed at it usually specify development of agriculture, rural industries and allied sectors. Subsidy and relief measures have become essential ingredients of current policy aimed at developing different sectors and target groups. There are certain sectors where subsidy and relief measures are least necessary and economic incentives could make such sectors develop from the view points of employment and productivity. Bidi-rolling is one of such a sector. An attempt is made in this book to analyse its various aspects: labour absorption, female participation, contribution to rural development, etc. Based on secondary and primary sources of data and information, the study makes a good beginning for initiating a shift in policy options towards more productive sub-sectors within the rural economy which could speed up the process of rural development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This unique study contributes to three important research fields: the history of commodities, the his-tory of the colonial developmental state, and the agrarian history of South Asia. First, it demonstrates the dynamism of cash-crop production systems and how these systems influenced each other. Second, it explores how colonial state policy came to stimulate research-based agronomic interventions, often with unintended consequences. And finally, it shows how cash cropping entangled South Asians and Europeans in new forms of struggle and cooperation. This meticulous and illuminating study deserves a wide readership." Willem van Schendel, professor of Modern Asian History at the University of Amsterdam.
Download or read book Democracy at Work in an Indian Industrial Cooperative written by Richard W. Franke and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-31 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors tell the story of a democratic workers' cooperative that makes hand-rolled cigarettes, known as "beedis," in the unorganized sector of a fiercely competitive capitalist economy in India. For decades, beedi workers have been among the most exploited and impoverished of India's work force. In 1969, in the southwestern Indian state of Kerala, several thousand workers banded together to form a worker-owned beedi cooperative. The authors argue that their skill and determination, combined with Kerala's generally leftist political culture, allowed them to beat the odds. The cooperative surprised the private sector beedi barons by creating an enterprise that has lasted and prospered, offering the best wages and benefits in the business, while making a profit and contributing to the local economy.The authors analyze the major features of the cooperative, assessing its overall structure, worker-elected management, shop floor democracy, and progress in providing a better life for its worker-owners. Tensions are also discussed, including the complaints of women workers and the need for diversification from tobacco.

Download or read book Globalising Everyday Consumption in India written by Bhaswati Bhattacharya and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-07-21 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together historical and ethnographic perspectives on Indian consumer identities. Through an in-depth analysis of local, regional, and national histories of marketing, regulatory bodies, public and domestic practices, this interdisciplinary volume charts the emergence of Indian consumer society and discusses commodity consumption as a main feature of Indian modernity. Nationalist discourse was shaped by moral struggles over consumption patterns that became a hallmark of middle-class identity. But a number of chapters demonstrate how a wide range of social strata were targeted as markets for everyday commodities associated with global lifestyles early on. A section of the book illustrates how a new group of professionals engaged in advertising trying to create a market shaped tastes and discourses and how campaigns provided a range of consumers with guidance on ‘modern lifestyles’. Chapters discussing advertisements for consumables like coffee and cooking oil, show these to be part of new public cultures. The ethnographic chapters focus on contemporary practices and consumption as a main marker of class, caste and community. Throughout the book consumption is shown to determine communal identities, but some chapters also highlight how it reshapes intimate relationships. The chapters explore the middle-class family, microcredit schemes, and metropolitan youth cultures as sites in which consumer citizenship is realised. The book will be of interest to readers from a range of disciplines, including anthropology, history, geography, sociology, South Asian studies, and visual cultures.

Download or read book The Social Determinants of Health in India written by Devaki Nambiar and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-12-13 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing from the work of academics and practitioners from ten states across the country, this edited volume showcases and synthesises the diversity and richness of efforts to understand and act on the social determinants of health in India, the conditions in which we are born, grow, live work and age. Such an effort is salient in the current era of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), which have foregrounded the issue of equity and the need for a comprehensive, multi-sectoral agenda for health and development. In India, particularly in the last decade, there have been myriad efforts to more critically theorise and intervene in areas with bearing on health, like conflict, nutrition or urbanisation, or to address the concerns of vulnerable groups like women, children and the elderly. From these efforts emerge lessons of convergence for academic and policymaking institutions in India who are looking to operationalise and bring life to the SDG agenda in India and other Low and Middle Income Country settings. The book comprises eleven chapters and six short commentaries that appear in conversation with each other, as well as an annexure of validated, ready-to-use indicators for monitoring of social determinants of health.

Book excerpt: Many Programmes Have Been Initiated To Ameliorate The Problems Of Rural Areas Which Range From Those Of Regional Development To The Issues Of Poverty Alleviation. The Recent Concern For Environment Has Enacted A Necessity For A Sustainable Approach Wherein A Subdued Technology Has To Play The Role Of Both Stabilising The Resource Augmentation Scenario And Sustaining The Gains Of Developments. It Is A Dilemma That Rural Areas Hitherto Neglected In Total Transformation Toward Viability And Regeneration Have To Bear The Grunt Of The Adverse Effects Of Developments More Than The Urban Areas. It Becomes Essential That A Holistic Pattern Of Development Wherein Different Sectors, Regions And Groups Are Simultaneously Developed And Transformed In An Integrated And Rational Manner Is Evolved To Contain The Ills Of Ecology And Economics. Not That The Current Emphasis On Rural Development Is Tardy And Overselling But It Should Be Judiciously Diversified And Differentiated So As To Achieve A Just Transformation Aimed At Development Of All Sectors, Regions And Targets. This Study Probes Into The Pattern Of Agricultural And Industrial Development And Points Out That The Pattern Requires More Sustainment And Stability. The Examples Of Coarse Cereals, Methanisation, Rural Industries Like Beekeeping Etc Are Considered To Prove The Issues. In Specifying The Process And Problems And In Understanding The Prospects Of Rural Areas, The Study Should Be Beneficial To Those Dealing With The Development Paradigms. Contents Chapter 1: Rural Development: An Introduction; Chapter 2: The Progress Of Technological Change In Indian Agriculture; Chapter 3: Rice And Ragi: A Comparison; Chapter 4: Prospects Of Rural Industrialisation; Chapter 5: Irdp: Can It Alleviate Poverty?.
