Description and Table of Contents
Description
Development and Social Justice deals with an unusual phenomenon of poor tribal youth forming their own small organisations in some of the most backward areas of Gujarat to work towards their socio-economic development and taking up small local issues of exploitation, domination and corruption, fight against vested interests and the government for social justice and developmental benefits.
The book studies their formation and organisation, their economic development, social reform and social action activities and their relationship with the outside world of politics, bureaucracy and established voluntary organisations. It examines their acheivements, limitations and impact and also analyses the role and approach of the funding agency. The study raises some basic issues about the role and limitations of micro-action groups of weaker sections in the macro perspective of the change towards a more just and egalitarian social order. This analysis is rich in documentary and quantitative data; in depth interviewing; observation; close interaction with the your leaders and detailed case studies.
