Countries around the world are working to counter the devastating
effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on their healthcare systems, their
economies and industries. This book brings together strategies for
the adoption of new technologies and innovation systems which would
help re-invigorate social and economic institutions and help
communities, especially in the Global South. The book focuses on
innovation systems that address health and socio-economic
inequalities in countries such as India, Africa, Brazil, Costa Rica
and others. It looks into the responses of different countries to
the shocks inflicted on the economy and health systems by the
pandemic from the perspective of government institutions as well as
businesses, industries and communities. The pandemic forced many
organisations to embrace various innovative strategies to contain
the spread of COVID-19 and ameliorate the lives of people including
employees, people from marginalised communities and low-income
groups who have suffered due to the disease. The essays in this
book study innovative interventions and community-based measures
which reached many people and paved the way for policies which
helped rebuild communities sustainably. The volume also analyses
how these newly created and streamlined health and economic
innovation systems will be carried forward in the post-COVID-19
world to address weaknesses in health and governance and address
inequalities, especially for countries in the global south. This
book will be of interest to scholars and students of economics,
political economy, health and economics, development studies,
public policy and sociology.

This book looks at agricultural systems and rural economies in Asia
through the prism of alternative innovation systems, alternative
public policy and institutional changes. The massive shifts within
the agricultural economy in Asia, geared towards increasing
production, has had a direct effect on the livelihood of a large
mass of people in rural societies, causing financial and social
distress. This book explores a wide range of solutions, such as the
role of education, improving technical skills and human capital,
along with interactive learning in R&D, harnessing ICTs and
institutional innovations, to see how these problems can be
alleviated. The volume looks at how these methods can help
formulate alternative ways to build sustainable and inclusive
agricultural societies, ensure food security, sustainable growth
and agricultural productivity. This book, rich in theoretical and
empirical matter, will be useful for academics and researchers
interested in agricultural innovation, development studies and
agricultural economics. It will also be of interest to policymakers
and thinktanks working towards inclusive social development and
sustainability in Asia and the Indian subcontinent.
This volume provides a comprehensive and detailed socio-economic
overview of agrarian distress in India which has manifested in the
suicides of farmers and agricultural labourers. Using empirical
research and field data from rural India, especially Punjab, this
book examines the underlying causes of farmer suicide and steps
which can mitigate the crisis. Covering nearly 1,400 rural
households, the research in this volume identifies the various
dimensions of the deepening crisis in agriculture and farming. It
categorises the factors of the problem across different regions and
estimates its extent and magnitude. In this updated edition the
authors focus on instances of political mobilization and collective
movements by farmers struggling to bring the issue of agrarian
distress to attention. The book also discusses the implementation
of state-waivered loans and compensations and their effect on the
farming community. Topical, comprehensive and rich in data, this
book will be valuable to scholars and researchers of political
economy, agricultural economics, South Asian politics, political
sociology and public policy.

Asian economic development and environmental consequences are not
only crucial for the wellbeing of the people, but are of great
relevance for the global economy. The ongoing intense debate on
carbon emission mitigating strategies for reducing the impact of
environmental consequences has undermined the principle of equity
and put a question mark on the sustainability of the development
process of the most dynamic Asian economies. This volume explores
fresh perspectives on the issues of wellbeing, Asian economic
development and environmental concerns. The book is organised along
six themes: issues in sustainability of Asian agriculture;
ecological concerns in theory and practice; core themes in economic
development; resource management and policy alternatives;
discrimination and socio-economic equity in development; and
peasant distress and sustainability of cotton economy. The articles
are based on unique quantitative data and a rigorous analytical
framework for examining policies for an equitable economic and
environmental international regime.

This book offers a comprehensive analysis of the pre-Covid-19 and
post-Covid-19 situation and public policy measures needed to revive
the economy in the light of the recent initiatives by the state
government, including a committee to suggest post-Covid-19 revival
strategy. This collection of essays by specialized author/s in
her/his/their area of research examines the impact of Covid-19 in
the larger context of economic and developmental context of Punjab,
ranging from basic developmental transformation analysis to the
specific policy issues in each sector and policy domain, including
the larger developmental crisis in the context of the regional
economy and society of Punjab. The sectors analysed include:
agriculture including dairy sector and agricultural markets,
industry, services, education, health, besides fiscal, banking,
diaspora, gender, governance, and sustainability challenges the
state economy faces. It dwells on sector specific issues as well as
ways forward for betterment of livelihoods of those engaged,
especially farmers and industrial and service sector informal

Foreword by Prof. Kaushik Basu This book traces the development
experience of one of India's most dynamic and prosperous states,
Punjab, which has provided the country with a much-needed degree of
food security. The relative regression of Punjab's economy in the
post-economic reforms period and slow current economic growth give
cause for concern. The contributions in this book address the
question of why the structural transformation of Punjab's economy
has fallen into the middle-income trap. Each investigates the
policy constraints influencing the relative stagnation of the
economy and suggests appropriate measures for alleviating them. By
integrating theoretical constructs and new evidence, the
authoritative contributions diagnose the nature of the current
problems and offer practical solutions. They cover important issues
such as the crisis of agrarian transition, agrarian markets and
distributive justice, employment growth and transition to
non-agriculture sectors, fiscal policy, external factors in
economic transformation, and perspectives on rejuvenating the
state's economy.

Materials used for high temperature applications are subjected to
various types of degradation phenomenon such as high temperature
corrosion, erosion-corrosion, overheating, solid particle abrasion,
wear, etc. Boiler tubes used for super-heaters and re-heaters in
steam-generating systems are subjected to erosion-corrosion at high
temperature, resulting in tube wall thinning and premature failure.
The present study investigates the high temperature
erosion-corrosion resistance of D-gun sprayed coatings on
"ASTM-SA210-GradeA1" boiler tube steel in actual industrial
environment. SEM/EDAX, XRD and X-ray mapping analysis is done to
reveal the microstructural and compositional features of coated
boiler tube steel. The deposited coatings on Grade A1 steel exhibit
uniform and dense microstructure. Thermogravimetric technique is
used to investigate the erosion-corrosion behavior of uncoated and
coated boiler tube steel at high temperature for 1000 hours.
SEM/EDAX, XRD and X-ray mapping techniques were used to analyse the
corrosion products.
