But such innate dynamism at the grassroots is seldom noticed or nurtured. This stakeholder group capable of leading the transformation process is clubbed into an omnibus category of ‘the poor’ and slotted for a bewildering array of social welfare measures which either do not reach or end up creating a dependency syndrome. This is the root cause of endemic backwardness in as many as 250 districts in the country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe goal of universal social security and safety net underlying the recent policy initiatives is unquestionable to most. However, there is considerable difference of opinion with regard to the strategies for realising such rights. By their very nature, these rights require local empowerment and local solutions. Thus, the book argues for reviving and resurrecting a genuine initiative in the area of decentralisation and building the blocks of a local livelihood security framework.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe evidence emerging from this modest survey in Dungarpur has special significance in the context of the current debate on strategies for poverty alleviation, social security and growth in face of a fast deteriorating international economic environment, unabated domestic inflation, rising fiscal deficit and a sharp dip in the overall growth rates.\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\u003cspan class=\"morecontent\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"more\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"morecontent\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"d_normalheder\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAbout the Author(s) \/ Editor(s)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"more\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarsh Singh\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ehas a rich cross-institutional background.
