The book critically examines the high growth trajectory in India,
particularly since the late 1980s, a period which is characterized
by increasing inequality. Through various studies from the Indian
state of Uttar Pradesh -- a state more populous than Brazil and
with a GDP comparable to Bangladesh -- it sheds light on the link
between growth and inequality in emerging economies. The slow pace
of any upward movement in terms of various development indicators
in low-income Indian states is due to a number of factors,
including their historical disadvantages. Over a period of time,
this has resulted in widening disparities, both between different
regions of these states, and between these states and other more
prosperous Indian states. The book provides a holistic, yet
critical, region-wise analysis of the achievements of Uttar Pradesh
compared to other states and to India as a whole, in the context of
indicators of inclusive development, namely, growth, employment,
poverty, infrastructure, agriculture, industry, education and
health. Based on the latest data and sophisticated analysis
methods, it assesses inequality and development disparities,
clearly identifying three major challenges that poorer states face
in redressing poverty and expanding inclusive growth - increasing
economic opportunities, empowering poor and marginalised groups to
avail new opportunities in a rapidly changing world, and ensuring
an effective safety net to reduce vulnerability. The book suggests
strategies for promoting high and sustained economic growth, and
highlights the significance of broadening social inclusiveness
through greater and more rapid access to economic and social
opportunities, and building strong social safety nets to protect
the chronically poor and mitigate their risks and vulnerabilities
with the help of good governance and institutions. With
contributions from leading scholars from the region, it is a
valuable resource for researchers working in the area of growth and
inequality, as well as for policy makers from developing economies
around the globe.
