This book provides a comprehensive overview of universal health
coverage in India. It starts by setting the historical context and
politics of the debates around universal health coverage (UHC) in
India and proceeds to analyze the present crisis of public health
in the country. The book examines the present policies on the
pharmaceutical industry, missing links in universalizing health,
and the importance of social determinants of health. It is divided
into five sections, and some of the topics covered include the
difference between comprehensive primary health care and universal
health care, public health and medical care, health service, and
health system. The chapters are contributed by scholars and
practitioners based on historical, interdisciplinary, empirical,
and policy research. The book is insightful to academics, public
health administrators, policymakers, practitioners, and students
interested in health care and organization, looking to transform
theory into policy and practice.

Poverty and Deprivation: Changing Contours traces the journey of
poverty estimation and eradication in India since Independence. It
brings together important contributions from eminent experts
focussing on distinct characteristics of rural and urban poverty,
multiple dimensions of poverty and deprivation, and policy
interventions made by the Indian state to reduce them. It also
highlights increasing inequality in assets and access to civic
amenities and persistence of disparities across regions and social
groups through empirically grounded analytical chapters. The
chapters included in the book present assessments of crucial
poverty alleviation programmes and suggestions for better
performance in outcomes. The editor's introductions make analytical
comments on the impact of economic growth on poverty reduction and
the controversy surrounding it and register concern that the period
of high growth did not improve human capital development. In this
context, it also puts in perspective the need for compatibility of
macro-economic fundamentals with social policy. The series 'Social
Change in Contemporary India' brings together key texts published
in the prestigious journal Social Change, from 1971 till present
times. These writings, most of which are considered canonical,
address important issues in health, education, poverty and
agriculture, with special focus on the disadvantaged groups. The
essays will help readers identify key points in the history of
policymaking in India and major discourses and debates and their
impact.
