The relatively slow growth of rural regions of India aggravates the glaring inequality in the distribution of income and wealth. Therefore, what is needed is shift in the paradigm towards rural development in the sphere of employment, income and removal of poverty. Based on both primary and secondary sources of data, the present work addresses to the problems of unemployment, poverty, impact of industrialization, the role of self-help groups in ameliorating the socio-economic conditions of tribal poor etc. It is hoped that the book will immensely benefit to the planners, policy makers, sociologists, anthropologists, administrators, researchers and general readers.
