The fifteen essays in this volume, in honour of Prof. C. T. Kurien, former Director of Madras Institute of Development Studies, make a critical assessment of India’s growth performance and its implications over the last decade and a half.
Examining the key features of India’s economic development, the volume addresses critical issues concerning food inflation, agricultural performance, labour markets, social infrastructure, climate change, governance, poverty and disparity. It further showcases the mutual impacts of economic growth on society and the ecosystem. It also identifies the growing problems of farmers’ suicide, food and labour insecurity, corruption, caste discrimination, and environmental degradation.
