Synopsis Uttaranchal located in the middle Himalayas is the twenty seventh state of India. this region is known since the early days not only for its cinic beauty but also as ‘Devbhumi’ due to its shrines, temples and places of worship, meditation and soul searching. However, for a long time this hilly region has been considered merely as a supplier of resources, both human and material. Due to its complex geographic conditions and peculiar developmental needs, people of this region felt neglected as a part of the larger entity of Uttar Pradesh. Since its emergence as a separate state Uttaranchal is faced with numerous developmental challenges. The fulfillment of basic amenities, employment generation, mobilization of internal resources, etc are some of the basic concerns of this infant state. The book provides an indepth understanding of the major developmental issues and problems of Uttaranchal. It also throws light upon the possible developmental strategies, needs and priorities of the state.
