Conventional interpretations of the New Economic Policy introduced in India in 1991 see this program of economic liberalization as transforming the Indian economy and leading to a substantial increase in the rate of India's economic growth. But in a country like India, growth is not enough. Who benefits from the new growth regime, and can it significantly improve the conditions of livelihood for India's 800 million people with incomes below $2.00 a day? This edited volume looks at international policy regimes and their national adoption under strategic conditions of economic crisis and coercion, and within longer-term structural changes in the power calculus of global capitalism. The contributors examine long-term growth tendencies, poverty and employment rates at the national level, regional level and local levels in India; the main growth centers; the areas and people left out; the advantages and deficiencies of the existing policy regime, and alternative economic policies for India. Bringing together the leading figures in the discussion on India's economic policy, this volume is the authoritative critical study of India's New Economic Policy.

The handbook seeks to illuminate the key concepts in the study of development-environment through showcasing some of the Majoritarian (formerly "Developing") world's scholars in order to explore theoretical connections through critical/radical theory, "small" theory, various conceptual frameworks, and non-Western and subaltern viewpoints. The volume examines the themes around the study of the relationship between economic and social development and the environment. Part 1 covers theoretical and conceptual approaches to the study of development and environment by examining the diverse ways in which people perceive, understand, and act upon the world around them. Cross-scalar topics such as neo-liberalism and globalization, human rights, climate change, sustainability, and technology are covered in Part 2. The book shifts to examinations of resources and production in Part 3, where authors with a focus on one or more environmental resources or types of economic production are presented. Topics range from water, agriculture, and food, to energy, bioeconomy, and mining. The fourth section presents chapters where people are at the center of the development-environment nexus through topics such as gender relations, children, health, and cities. Finally, policy and governance of development and environment are explored in Part 5. The section includes both academics and practitioners who have worked with policy makers and are policy makers themselves. The book is primarily intended for scholars and graduate students in geography, environmental studies, and development studies for whom it will provide an invaluable and up-to-date guide to current thinking across the range of disciplines, which converge in the study of development and environment.

The study was conducted on crossbred cows under the ICAR-ETT project, Post-graduate Institute, Department of Animal Reproduction and Gynaecology Dr. PDKV, Akola.Presynchronization of oestrus was done in cows by PGF2 alpha (Lutalyse) 25 mg administered im. Artificial insemination with frozen semen of progeny tested bull (H.F. x Gir 50 per cent) was carried on at an interval of 12 h. Flushing of the donor cows for embryo recovery was carried out on day 7 after last insemination.The time required for onset of superovulatory oestrus from last PGF2 alpha ranged from 38 to 44 h. with an average of 38.66 SE 1.73 h.The length of superovulatory oestrus ranged from 16 to 36 h. with an average of 30 SE 4.76 h.The average number of corpora lutea and unovulatory follicles in the donor cows was 12 SE 5.5 and 2.75 SE 0.85 respectively. The average number of corpora lutea and unovulatory follicles on right and left ovary recorded was 6.5 SE 2.95, 5.5 SE 2.62 and 1.75 SE 0.47; 1.0 SE 0.40, respectively. Total number of embryos recovered from the donor cows was 13 with an average of 3.25 SE 2.01 for each donor cow, out of which 6 embryos were with arrested growth and 7 were degenerated ones.
