India’s progress in reducing poverty at the national level masks substantial disparity in the incidence of poverty at the state level. This paper provides a description of the trends in interstate differences in rural poverty for the period 1978–97. Key findings are that poverty generally declined in most states over the last twenty years. However, poverty increased during the early years of the 1990s reform period before decline again in the later years. Relative differences in poverty narrowed during the 1980s but widened somewhat during the next decade. The better success rate of some states in reducing poverty in the 1990s was, in part, due to higher growth and lower inflation.

Despite almost four decades and billions of dollars in development activities, we are barely in a position to track the changing dynamics of poverty or to define with conviction the processes that entrap the poor in their misery. Accounting for about 90% of global poverty, rural poverty, through transmigration, is also a main contributor to urban poverty. It is in the rural areas of the world where poverty is most severe in human terms, where the hunger, hopelessness, hardship, and despair commonly associated with entrenched poverty are most pronounced, where basic health services, sanitation, educational opportunities, and other common amenities are most lacking. The alleviation of rural poverty is therefore tantamount to the alleviation of global poverty in its entirety. The State of World Rural Poverty offers the first comprehensive look at the economic conditions and prospects of the world's rural poor.

The Punjab Model Of Agricultural Development Has Evoked A Keen Interest And Curiosity On A Wide Scale. Some Researchers Observe That The Benefits Of The Agricultural Development Have Not Reached The Weaker Sections In The Rural Areas Of The Punjab. In This Backdrop, The Objective Of The Present Study Is To Examine The Dynamics Of Rural Poverty Prevailing Among Agricultural Labourers, Marginal Farmers And Small Farmers. It Elaborately Examines The Sources, Composition And Patterns Of Income And Consumption; And Magnitude And Determinants Of Indebtedness Of Agricultural Labourers, Marginal Farmers And Small Farmers In Differentially Developed Regions Of The Punjab.The Painstaking Study Yielded That Agricultural Labourers Are Enjoying A High Level Of Living Vis-À-Vis Marginal Farmers. The Proposition Of Persons Below The Poverty Line Has Been Found To Be The Highest In The Case Of Marginal Farmers And This Proportion Was The Highest In The Least Developed Region. In General, It Appears That The Extent Of Poverty Is Inversely Related To The Productivity Levels Of The Regions But The Magnitude Of Indebtedness Is Directly Related To The Productivity Levels Of The Different Regions Of Punjab.The Book Will Be Of Immense Value To The Students And Research Scholars Of Economics And Sociology Besides The Academics And Policy Planners In The Field. And It Will Enrich The Valuable Collection Of Every Library.
