Synopsis Policy of globalisation, liberalisation and privatisation in select areas are the new paradigms in a developing economy. This process has affected the different reforms of Indian economy. Growth and increased competitiveness of the corporate sector, technology upgradation and emerging consumer markets are the result of the process of opening up the economy. Keeping in view the vast size of rural market in India economic reforms have vast implication for the rural sector. Rural industrialisation and development of agriculture has also become important to ensure all-round development of rural economy.

It is hoped that this book will be of great help to the policy planners, researchers and all those concerned with the development of rural sector.
