Social Welfare Practices
Deprivation and vulnerability are integral to the lives of the majority of the Indian population. Majority of the population lives outside the main stream of development. They are facing problems of food, education, health, housing, drinking water, employment, sanitation etc. They suffer from ‘fluctuating incomes’ and lack of protection from unexpected contingencies.
Social welfare is an important condition for ‘sustainable economic and social development’. Such measures in India have gained much attention in the wake of ‘informalisation of the economy’ consequent upon the introduction of economic reforms in the early 1990s. There is urgent need for strengthening the social welfare programmes in order to face the adverse consequences of reforms.
The book presents an exhaustive analysis of various aspects of social welfare practices in India. This book emphasise the need for a broader interpretation of social welfare in a developing country like India.
This book is a collection of academic and research papers contributed by scholars in the field belonging to reputed universities and centres of academic excellence in India. These scholarly papers explain and examine the various aspects of social welfare in India.
