| description |
The report’s main objective is to track
development outcomes for three select groups - scheduled
tribes (STs), scheduled castes (SCs), and women - that have
traditionally faced exclusion in India. It asks the
question: how did these groups fare over a period of rapid
growth in India, primarily in the nineties; and were they
able to break through the historically grounded inequalities
that have kept entire generations among them trapped or did
traps trump opportunities? It focuses on exclusion along
three spheres - services, markets, and voice and agency.
Within these too, the attempt is to highlight a few select
issues that offer new insights. The report draws both on
national data (national sample surveys (NSS) and national
family health surveys (NFHS)) as well as qualitative work
for its evidence, relying more on the latter to probe
heterogeneity within states and groups and incipient
processes that result in exclusion. |
