Beschreibungen

The book examines the pattern of non-farm development at the national level and identifies the correlates and determinants of occupational diversification for the major states. It is one of the few studies&nbsp;that unravels the dynamic processes associated with growth and development at the sub-national level; wherein it&nbsp;elucidates changes in rural employment pattern and its implications for urban&nbsp;growth.&nbsp;<div><br>The book&nbsp;fills a crucial gap&nbsp; in current&nbsp; research, notably, an understanding of conditions that enable large villages to assume an urban character. By providing&nbsp;micro-level study of census towns to capture the nuances of the dynamic situation in the countryside, the book would offer useful insights and&nbsp; provide reference material on the social and economic impacts of urban growth, thereby satisfying the needs of students, researchers and practitioners of regional economics, rural development, and sustainable urbanization.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div><div>The book is the outcome of financial support received under the Research Programme Scheme of the Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR), New Delhi, India.</div></div>
