Book Description
This original conceptualization provides insights into the role of inequality in the processes of change in rural India. It presents in-depth analyses and understanding of the nature and form of inequality, and its causes and consequences. The volume examines interpersonal, intergroup, and intrapersonal inequalities in the country’s rural transformation. Through research based on ethnographic, primary survey and secondary data methods, this multidimensional study discusses key themes such as normative and descriptive inequalities; class, caste and other identities; economic poverty; educational poverty; poverty in health; gendered poverty; inequality and power; the impact of migration; ethical issues and vulnerabilities; and suicidal consequences of inequality. It builds cohesive arguments, based on the development of several new indicators, to examine rural inequality. This book will be of interest to scholars and researchers of political economy, economics, development studies, development economics, sociology, public policy, political science, political sociology, and rural sociology.

Book Description
In recent years there has been considerable debate in India on the efficacy of IRDP in mitigating rural poverty. The government agencies like Planning Commission, Reserve Bank of India, National Bank for Agricultural and Rural Development have been conducting several evaluative research studies, all over India, since the inception of the programme from the Sixth Five Year Plan. Those studies have presented a rosy picture of the success of IRDP. The line of judgement adopted by these studies were mere calculation of the proportion of households which have crossed poverty line by comparing pre-IRDP and post-IRDP income figures. This methodology, however, fails to make an adjustment for inflation, changes in family size, internal payment of loan, access to common property resources, availability of potable water, health and educational facilities which significantly influence the living condition of the poor. The studies made by different research organizations, individuals, institutions differ on different points. But the common considerations underlying all these studies is the failure to a large extent of this massive anti-poverty programme. The present study is a clear deviation from the earlier studies on two points. Firstly, a new methodology of Typological approach is adopted to assess the impact. Secondly, there is an attempt to restructure the present IRDP by way of an inter-industry model of the Leontief type. The findings will prove an essential reading not only to the academics but also to the planners, policy makers and government agencies.

Book Description
Natural disasters make dramatic reading. Every year, some area of the world is devastated by a disaster, with enormous consequent loss of life and disruption to livelihoods. What can be done to alleviate this? Why are such disasters so lethal? Why do people expose themselves to such hazards? Do mitigation programmes help? What effect does aid really have on the areas that receive it? By examining one particular cyclone-prone area of Southern India in great detail over a 10-year period Peter Winchester has come up with some perceptive answers to the questions. In particular, he formulates a set of five 'golden rules' for disaster management. The book will provide valuable and thought-provoking reading for anyone involved with disaster management, and will be essential for all those whose work involves aid or development in disaster-prone areas.
