About the Book
Inclusive growth is a not new term in social sciences. Inclusive growth is not just about individuals at a micro level. At a macro level, it is about sectors and regions too. The Government of India declared the year 2001 as the year of 'new growth and development' but the way to reach this stage has been long and difficult. Absence of inclusive growth can lead to uneven development in sectors and regions of an economy since economic growth can act as a launch pad for significant development in only some sectors and regions. This could trigger considerable social disturbance with multifaceted issues that have to be addressed. Key challenges for the government would be to improve the living standards of poorer citizens in the deprived sectors and regions. However, such measures require sacrifices since reallocation of limited funds would be required. This book is useful for academicians, policymakers, NGO and general public .
