Development projects and impoverishment risks

"This book looks at the Indian experience of resettlement and the recent recognition of the need for better rehabilitation of affected people. It presents evidence of impoverishment, seeks its causes and suggests ways to reduce the risks of impoverishment." "Emphasizing the importance of being aware of the possible adverse impact of development interventions on poorer groups in particular, the essays call for incorporating risk analysis into more proactive planning, so that corrective measures can be taken."--BOOK JACKET.
