This book makes a critical assessment of the Dalit Agenda or Bhopal Declaration, undertaken by the Government of Madhya Pradesh to empower scheduled castes and scheduled tribes population by way of distributing grazing land to them. How the agenda was translated into action? What were the challenges? How these challenges were mitigated? How this intervention affected the SC-ST population in terms of their socio-economic and psychological development? What is the sustainability of this intervention? These are some of the broad issues addressed in the book.
