Synopsis Though the last 15 years has witnessed rapid economic progress and changes due to the new economic policies and economic reform measures, studies and research conducted in many parts of the country on different sectors, sections and regions reveals that its benefits are not percolated to all sections, sectors and regions equally. There occurred considerable regional, sectoral and sectional in-equalities in the distribution of the gains of the reforms. This is the crux of the book 'Eco-reforms and Regional Inequality in India'. The book reveals the in-equalities that emerged in the major sectors and section of the Indian economy since the reform era. In-equalities that generated in the accessibility and utilization of the health care services is one of the prime concerns. Similarly it focuses on the issues persisted in the field of agriculture, external sector, financial sector and the problem of food security in the liberalized context. The book provides the bleak picture of the tribal economy and also projects the movement of poverty in India.
