Over time, various area-specific and social group-specific measures were also taken by the state and other change agents. The broad purpose behind taking these steps was to translate spirit of democracy and Constitution into action. After several decades of these initiatives and other ongoing measures, it is high time that we examine its impact on different social groups from welfare, human rights, development and empowerment perspective. This book is an outcome analysis of all these and related issues in selected villages of Central Madhya Pradesh. This study is also an extension of the ongoing trend of research on modernization-led development.
