Countries of the world today are in favour of free trade globally. Before the formation of WTO in 1995 the GATT had been trying to achieve free trade throughout the world. The similar activity is being done by the WTO since its inception. In spite of all such efforts many countries in groups are trying to form unions separately to protect their group interest. One such group is the SAARC–the eight South Asian Nations’ coalition. The present book is the result of SAP(DRS) programme of the UGC started in the Department of Economics, North Bengal University since 2004. The papers contain social and economic aspects of most of the SAARC member countries.
