Among the organisations that work for the rights and welfare of the dalits in India, there is a strong difference of opinion about 'what has a market-based economy to offer to the dalits?' The point of contention is that market is most often imperfect with a race amongst the unequals where the fittest comes out as winner. Being the poorest of the poor segment in the Indian society, dalits are sure to get hurt, especially, if they are thrown out of agriculture, which they depend on as wage earners for years. However, empirical verification made in 24 villages in Tamil Nadu State reveals that there is a perceptible positive change taking place in favour of dalits. The traditional landed class are shifting to other sectors of the economy - outside agriculture. This has made way for the dalits to fill in the vacuum created by the traditional landed class, and emerge as 'the neo-landed' class. This is wiping out the 'landlessness' character of the dalits.- Economics of Development:Toward Inclusive Growth

This is a highly informative and remarkably insightful book on economic growth of countries, presented alongside policies that are reflective of social justice, education, health, freedom from hunger, poverty and human deprivation. It is fascinating to note that the author has put together 25 years of his research works for a wider readership. The book is presented in 26 brief chapters. The focus is on showing the three-way relationship between fast growth of per capita income, the distribution of income and wealth between the rich and the poor, and poverty reduction.- Bio-Innovation and Poverty Alleviation: Case Studies from Asia

This volume explores how bioinnovation might be linked to the problem of poverty and its reduction through an inquiry into a number of empirical cases of presentday bio-innovation in some of the Asian countries viz., Cambodia, China, India, Nepal, Philippines, South Korea and Thailand. This list of countries, of course, does not exhaust the complete list of countries in the region that have employed bio-innovation projects for an explicit or tacit purpose of contributing to poverty alleviation.- Environment and Sustainable Development: A Geographical Appraisal

To make a “model” and then to scale it up or replicate it is an idea from the shop floor-based industry. Machines, vehicles, and tools that need to perform predetermined results need to be first designed, then modelled for their quality and eventually mass produced so that it can benefit many to achieve the predetermined results. Uniformity in the machine’s functional performance, Standardisation of production and Efficiency to ensure optimal resource utilization are values that dictate the shop floor thought process. These values are parameterized as standards of measure and these measures in term determine the “quality” of the machine. A “model” machine is evaluated for such “quality” before it is “scaled up” to be mass produced.References

The Ministry of Rural Development, Government of India, launched Shyam Prasad Mukherji Rurban Mission (SPMRM), known as the National Rurban Mission (NRuM), with the idea of stimulating local economic development, enhancing basic services, and creating well planned Rurban clusters in potential growth centres in various States of India. This is a mission with several unique elements, such as nudging States to use programme convergence as a strategy to leverage economic drivers identified in a given cluster, and fill the gaps, if any, through a critical gap fund. It has been nearly five years since the launching of the mission. There are not many studies on how National Rurban Mission (NRuM) works on the ground. Therefore, this rapid study was conducted in four Rurban clusters in Tamil Nadu and Kerala using qualitative research design, to underscore/highlight issues, and come out with tentative conclusions that can serve as strong hypotheses for a larger study on how the mission works on the ground.Keywords
