The articles in the volume focus on issues relating to population, development and conflicts that arise with specific reference to the North-east of India. They view the creation between population growth and other factors like literacy, gross domestic product, life expectancy, and low income. With detailed analysis of data using charts and other illustrations, they examine the population growth patterns, sustainability of rural systems, resource management and social change, village energy security, role of transport in development, migration and associated problems and the adverse impact of insurgency in the region. They also take up patterns of ageing in tribal areas.
