Book Description
This book examines the Socio-economic conditions of Dalit agricultural workers and their participation and contribution for economic development. After 1980's mant changes have taken place in the indian economy. As a result economic growth rate increased. Despite high economic growth and agricultural performance, the population of the scheduled castes and tribes could not get the fruits of high economic growth and benefits of globalisation. In th process of globalisation the rich are becoming richer and poor becoming poorer. The poverty rations have been significantly higher than for the rest of the population and the proportion of the poor in the country belonging to the SCs and STs increased. This book will see as to why the scheduled castes and scheduled tribes could not utilize the opportunity vis-a vis the non-scheduled castes and are remaining as agricultural labourers and other traditional occupants living below poverty line. Hence migration, unemployment, dropout rate in the schools, poverty and social exclusion are taken momentum among Dalits. This book will analyse the pattern of occupational distribution of dalits, access to land, agricultural workers, poverty and rural development programes and dalits participation. This book concludes that dalits should be included in the process of economic planning and policy implementation. Moreover the dalits should take active participation in the developmental activities. Inclusive economic growth may give good hope for dalits.

Dalit Millionaires
Author: Milind Khandekar
Publisher: Penguin UK
ISBN: 9351185834
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 171
Book Description
Dalit Millionaires is a collection of profiles of fifteen Dalit entrepreneurs who have braved both societal and business pressures to carve out highly profitable niches for themselves. The book is a vivid chronicle of how the battle has moved from the village well to the marketplace. There are tales describing how the multimillionaire Ashok Khade, at one time, did not have even four annas to replace the nib of a broken pen, how Kalpana Saroj, a child bride, worked her way to becoming a property magnate, and how Sanjay Kshirsagar moved on from a 120-foot tenement and now seems well on his way to become the emperor of a 500-crorerupee firm. The only common thread through these stories is the spirit that if you can imagine it, you can do it.

Defying the Odds
Author: Devesh Kapur
Publisher: Random House India
ISBN: 818400639X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 351
Book Description
Defying the Odds is about the new Dalit identity. It profiles the phenomenal rise of twenty Dalit entrepreneurs, the few who through a combination of grit, ambition, drive and hustle—and some luck—have managed to break through social, economic and practical barriers. It illustrates instances where adversity compensated for disadvantage, where working their way up from the bottom instilled in Dalit entrepreneurs a much greater resilience as well as a willingness to seize opportunities in sectors and locations eschewed by more privileged business groups. Traditional Dalit narratives are marked by struggle for identity, rights, equality and for inclusion. These inspiring stories capture both the difficulty of their circumstances as well as their extraordinary steadfastness, while bringing light to the possibilities of entrepreneurship as a tool of social empowerment.

Developmental State and the Dalit Question in Madhya Pradesh: Congress Response
Author: Sudha Pai
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136197842
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 451
Book Description
Dalit assertion has been a central feature of the states in the Hindi heartland since the mid-1980s, leading to the rise of political consciousness and identity-based lower-caste parties. The present study focuses on the different political response of the Congress party to identity assertion in Madhya Pradesh under the leadership of Digvijay Singh. In Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, in response to the strong wave of Dalit assertion that swept the region, parties such as the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) and the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) used strategies of political mobilisation to consolidate Dalit/backward votes and capture state power. In Madhya Pradesh, in contrast, the Congress party and Digvijay Singh at the historic Bhopal Conference held in January 2002 adopted a new model of development that attempted to mobilise Dalits and tribals and raise their standard of living by providing them economic empowerment. This new Dalit Agenda constitutes an alternative strategy at gaining Dalit/tribal support through of state-sponsored economic upliftment as opposed to the political mobilisation strategy employed by the BSP in Uttar Pradesh. The present study puts to test the limits of the model of state-led development, of the use of political power by an enlightened political elite to introduce change from above to address the weaker sections of society. The working of the state is thus analysed in the context of the society in which it is embedded and the former’s ability to insulate itself from powerful vested interests. In interrogating this state-led redistributive paradigm, the study has generated empirical data based on extensive fieldwork and brought to the fore both the potentials and the limitations of using the model of ‘development from above’ in a democracy. It suggests that the absence of an upsurge from below limits the ability of an enlightened political elite that mans the developmental state to introduce social change and help the weaker sections of society.
