The growing disparity in India between regions, sectors and sections of the population, is a blot on our civilization. Although the economic reforms have ushered in an era of high growth, the unequal distribution of these gains–particularly between rural and urban sectors–has thrown up questions about the distributional impact of such growth processes. This book studies the nature of rural urban disparity for the hilly state of Uttarakhand. Based on secondary data and a primary survey, it takes an extensive look at both social and economic aspects of development in the state and the extent of inequality in these sectors.
