Throughout the world, older urban cities have experienced the process of decay inherent in urbanization and either the evolution, growth, decay, or renewal of urban centers. This volume focuses on the politics of urban redevelopment in one city --Shahjahanabad, a medieval city which was swallowed up by the burgeoning capital city of Delhi in India. It looks at the historical aspects of urbanization to emphasize the crucial role played by politics in the process of urbanization. Mehra includes fascinating first-hand accounts of residents of Delhi who describe their perceptions of the historical evolution of Shahjahanabad, its plight, problems, and possible solutions.

This book looks at slums and social exclusion in the four major megacities of India and Brazil, and analyzes the interrelationships between urban policies and housing and environmental issues. In Delhi, Mumbai, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, the challenges they pose have spurred public actors into action through housing, rehabilitation and conservation programs, not to mention civil society and the inhabitants themselves. On the other hand, one must wonder whether these challenges were partly created by the deficiencies of these very public actors and civil society, be it their lack of intervention (as advocates of government intervention would argue), or the flaws and inadequacies of their actions (as supporters of the free market would suggest). Are policies alleviating or aggravating social exclusion? This book explores these questions and more.

Hundreds of social and developmental schemes supported by Central and State Governments including external agencies are in place in the country for more than a decade. There are other flagship programmes of the government such as AMRUT, HRIDAY, NULM, DAY-NRLM, PMAY-G, PMSSY, SAGY, JNNURM, GRKY, SPMRM, PURA including Smart Cities Mission with their main aim to make India Smart. Most of the schemes have no clear aims and objectives, no time-bound work plan and no monitoring and evaluation framework. Expected output, outcome and impact are also missing. Accountability, responsibility, transparency and synergy with other programmes are absolutely ‘No’. After the scheme is closed, no body bothers about the results, their socio-economic impact and long-term sustainability of the gains achieved. Piece meal approach is not going to make any difference in living standard of the countrymen. Need is for smart and holistic approach covering the whole country-both rural and urban India. The Book packed in 5 chapters provides in depth and detailed information on smart and holistic development of urban and rural India. The important areas covered in the book are: 1) Smart Cities Mission and Other Programmes, 2) Developing Delhi, A Role Model of Smart India, 3) Developing Dwarka, A Role Model of Sub-Cities, 4) Developing Rural Delhi, A Role Model of Khushhaal Bharat and 5) Action Plan in Project Mode.

Education is the process of learning or the acquisition of knowledge, skill, values, beliefs and habits. Education is becoming an important part of every one’s life. Education was strong in ancient days also. The system changed with passage of time such as Vedic, Brahmanical, Muslim, British periods etc. Today, education is oriented to promote values of an urban, competitive consumer society. Through the existing education system in the last five decades, the country has excelled in different fields and made a mark at the National and International levels. There is a need to regulate our education system at different levels – from primary to higher education. There is also need to remove deficiencies and short comings in our education system. All these issues have been covered under nine chapters of the book.

The book covers different issues in agriculture. The author has pooled the knowledge of many experts and practitioners in the field of agriculture and allied sectors. The main Aims and Objectives covered in the book are: 1) Enhance Production and Productivity for food and nutritional security, 2) Improve profitability through agro-processing and value addition and 3) Sustainability through training, skill development, entrepreneurship and communication. Stagnation in productivity, shrinking farm size, inadequate market infrastructure including warehousing and cold storage, and erosion of the foundations of sustainable agriculture such as soil and gene erosion, water logging, drop in ground water table and decline in surface irrigation are the areas that need urgent attention. There is need to pay attention to rural non-farm enterprises. All these issues in-depth have been covered under 40 chapters in the book. I am confident that the book would be of immense help to farmers, field officials, students and many others who directly or indirectly involved with agriculture and rural development.

Corruption, like an epidemic, is something which has seeped deep into our society and wiping away something which exist from the root to the tip of the leaves, is a long process which requires time. It is not easy to get-rid of corruption from a country like ours, where it exists at every level be it the public or the private sector. Even NGOs are not free from corruption. We need a holistic approach to go into the causes and roots of corruption. This requires administrative, judicial and parliamentary reforms. The four Cs – corruption, criminalisation, communalism and casteism – besides the power of three Ms – money, muscle and mafia – have to be eradicated from grass-root level through effective legislation. Steep rise in population, extreme poverty, unemployment, shortage of land and food, pollution, poor quality of life, deteriorating socio-economic conditions and standards of living compel many to go for corrupt practices. The book covers issues, such as: 1) Areas of Corruption, 2) Corruption in Different Sectors, 3) Anti-corruption Policies, Laws & Acts and 4) How to Combat Corruption. The book will be of immense value to policy makers, programme planners, public and private sectors, NGOs, social and environmental workers, developmental practitioners and the people in general who dream to see India, “Free from Corruption”.

Population is a big hurdle and a drag on growth. India’s Population is projected to touch 1.5 billion by 2030. It may surpass China’s in 2024 and accounts for 18% of the World’s total population. Every nook and corner of India is a clear display of increasing population. Whether you are in a metro station, airport, railway station, road, highway, bus stop, hospital, shopping mall, market temple, or even in a social and religious gathering, we see all these places are over crowed at any time of the day. Due to steep rise in population, there is extreme poverty, unemployment, shortage of land and food, pollution, poor quality of life, migration of population etc. More than 20% of the population don’t have even two square meals of the day what to speck of other facilities. Overpopulation will also place great demands on resources and land, leading to widespread environmental issues in addition to impacting socio-economic conditions and standards of living. Overpopulation issue is further compounded by the difficulty in providing solutions for the problems. The book covers issues, such as: Population Trend, Causes, Impacts and Way Forward to Combat Population Explosion. The book will be of immense value to policy makers, programme planners, public and private sectors, NGOs, social and environmental workers, demographers, developmental practitioners and the people in general who dream to see "A Paradise On Earth".
