The real debate today is about finding the right balance between market forces and government for Pareto efficiency. Stiglitz posited “that government could potentially almost always improve upon the market’s resource allocation.” In reality, besides the institutional inertia, fragmented design and action often impedes execution of rational policy. The lack of non-governmental inputs, absence of debate and systematic analysis prior to policy making results in ineffective policy formulation and action, obstructing the process of economic development. The study of public policy in commodity production (agriculture, industry), as well as tertiary sectors (services, trade and transport) is important to arrive at efficient and people friendly governance structures.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe collection of papers in the present volume, attempt at the development of an analytical framework for the formulation of  development policy, bearing on crucial segments of the economy and society mainly,   agriculture sector, industrial development, employment and entrepreneurship, urbanisation, weaker sections,  and governance issues.\u003cbr\u003eNineteen chapters comprising the volume are organised under four sections: Section 1 Issues in Agriculture Sector; Section 2 Industrial Development, Employment and Entrepreneurship; Section 3 Issues in Sustainable Urbanisation; Section 4 Governance Structure and Development Outcomes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe papers appearing in the volume  were presented at a seminar funded by the Indian Council of Social Science Research.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"morecontent\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"more\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"morecontent\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"d_normalheder\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePraise for this book\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e“This book is a very informative collection of papers focused on regional aspects of India’s growth.
