It examines regional economic growth and inequality in income originating from agriculture, industry and services. In view of the importance of the agricultural sector, despite its declining share in gross domestic product, it evaluates the performance of agricultural production and the impact of agricultural reforms on spatial integration of food grain markets. It studies rural poverty, analyzing the trend in employment, the trickle-down process and the inclusiveness of growth in rural India. It also evaluates the impact of microfinance, as an instrument of financial inclusion, on the socio-economic conditions of rural households. Lastly, it examines the relative performance of fifteen major states of India in terms of education, health and human development. An important feature of the book is that it approaches these issues, applying rigorously advanced econometric methods, and focusing primarily on their regional disparities during the post-reform period vis-à-vis the pre-reform period. It offers important results to guide policies for future development.India Studies in Business and Economics,2198-0012Regional disparitiesIndiaIndiaEconomic conditionsIndiaEconomic conditionsRegional disparitiesRegional disparities338.954Ghosh Madhusudan1424063MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910739422803321Liberalization, Growth and Regional Disparities in India3552937UNINA05947oam 2200733 a 450 991096537060332120200520144314.097984006633769786610468690978128046869812804686969780313011023031301102810.5040/9798400663376(CKB)111087027039326(EBL)3000770(OCoLC)52718648(SSID)ssj0000170989(PQKBManifestationID)11176895(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000170989(PQKBWorkID)10236026(PQKB)11783855(Au-PeEL)EBL3000770(CaPaEBR)ebr10023076(MiAaPQ)EBC3000770(OCoLC)1435635377(DLC)BP9798400663376BC(Perlego)4202532(EXLCZ)9911108702703932620011011e20022024 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrHigher education in the developing world changing contexts and institutional responses /edited by David W.

Half of the students enrolled in higher education worldwide live in developing countries. Yet, in many developing countries, government and education leaders express serious concerns about the ability of their colleges and universities to effectively respond to the pressures posed by changing demographics, new communication technologies, shifts in national political environments, and the increasing interconnectedness of national economies. This book identifies five critical issues with which higher education institutions in the developing world must grapple as they respond to these changing contexts: seeking a new balance in government-university relationships; coping with autonomy; managing expansion while preserving equity, raising quality, and controlling costs; addressing new pressures for accountability; and supporting academic staff in new roles. These papers offer examples of institutional responses and consider these within a systems perspective that recognizes that each response has a rippling effect impacting institutions' responses to other critical issues. Only as government and education leaders understand the interwoven nature of the problems now facing colleges and universities and the interconnections among the intended solutions they seek to implement can they offer effective leadership that strengthens the quality and improves the relevance of higher education in their countries.
