This collection of essays shows that as the developmental processes have not positively impacted all sections of the society, due to inherited socio-cultural considerations on the one hand and the state failure to ensure equity to all its citizen on the other, pre-existing social imbalances have been reproduced and furthered keeping vast sections of the population persistently poor, illiterate, in ill-health, un/underemployed, homeless, voiceless and vulnerable. Beside elaborating the dominant perspectives of social development it also elucidates several developmental initiatives undertaken among the tribes, dalits, forest-dwellers, women, physically challenged, sex-workers in various parts of the country and recorded emerging praxes of socia development that have emerged from the grass-roots experiences of cooperative activists;, Self-Help Group initiatives, cdifbrate social partnerships, interactivity of marginalized communities, and ICTs interventions.
