This rich collection of papers contributed by eminent social scientists and specialists clearly depicts a remarkable change in various sectors of the Indian sub-continent since the down of independence.

Whereas proper attention has been paid for the development of science and technology, emphasis on scientific research finds deep linkage with the education of the youths and their social transformation. Thus an effort has been made to show the quantum of progress achieved in different domains covering the urban and rural population. Undoubtedly this work would be useful for teachers, students, scholars and others who are interested in our developmental schemes.
