Hardcover. Zustand: New. The essays in the book explore the nature and direction of socio-economic change in the lower Cauvery delta. They draw primarily on the results of two census-type, schedule-based surveys of all households conducted in the villages of Palakurichi and Venmani in Nagapattinam district, Tamil Nadu, in 2018 19. The region in which the villages are located is historically associated with large agricultural surpluses from rice cultivation, in turn sustained by punishing forms of caste and class oppression. Recent decades, however, have seen great changes to the crop regime and to relations of agrarian production. The sharp decline in the supply of Cauvery water for irrigation to the region in the last two decades has accelerated this change and given it new dimensions. The analyses and findings presented in the book discuss the manifold stresses on the socio-economic fabric of the region with the decline of the delta as a hub of rice cultivation. The gains achieved in the 1980s from the Green Revolution weakened, and no major new sources of non-agricultural production emerged within villages. The old forms of tyrannical landlordism and extra-economic oppression of Dalit agricultural workers that had led to the massacre of 44 Dalits by landlords in Keelavenmani in 1968 do not exist today, owing to sustained struggles by the working people led by the Communist parties. Nevertheless, unequal land ownership and landlessness and acute economic inequality continue to be significant features of the agrarian sector. An important new aspect of agrarian change, this study notes, is the replacement of the full-time agricultural labour force with a rural manual worker force that engages in both agricultural and non-agricultural wage labour. The essays also analyse other dimensions of agrarian change in the region in employment and incomes, the forms of credit in operation, education, sanitation, and housing. The pace and path of economic change has placed rural Tamil Nadu ahead of many other Indian states, in terms of both economic performance and human development. Yet, without fundamental structural change, this book argues, the gains attained are incomplete. Here lies a central policy challenge to meeting the region s economic and democratic potential.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. It is ironical that in many parts of the world, there has been an unprecedented growth after Second World War which was accompanied by greater intervention and now for the same reasons of economic growth, a reduction in state intervention is advocated. Perceptible change in the economic policy of India was ushered in during the 1980s-albeit hesitantly-with a small degree of deregulation and decontrol. The debate on the nature of economic reforms and their impact is continuing since 1990 in India, and will continue. It is also apparent that some of the changes brought about are not reversible unless the circumstances become abnormal. The change in economic policy is also not a one shot strategy but needs to be supported by policy changes in various sectors of the economy as well as administration. It is necessary to emphasize that reforms in many sectors, particularly in terms of improving efficiency, cost reduction, cut in administrative delays need to be tackled irrespective of changes in the economic policy. At the cutting edge - the states and lower levels - there is an urgent need for reforms. Such reforms are not necessarily restricted to the economic sectors and economic policies but essentially include change in the administrative ethos and responsiveness. A Workshop on New Economic Policy was organised by Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration, Mussoorie from 13th-15th April, 1994 to discuss the interface between the New Economic Policy and Public Administration. The Workshop was funded by the UNDP and sponsored by the Department of Personnel and Training. Government of India, New Delhi. Some of the papers presented and discussed in the Workshop are included in this volume while others are to be included in the second volume. …
