I am proud to provide here a glimpse of the achievements by ISEC faculty and students with the support of the other staff members. The achievements are contributed in different measures by one and all of us and therefore we collectively take pride in these. This year was indeed an eventful and memorable one as we celebrated the concluding event of the birth centenary of our founder Professor VKRV Rao. In this travel of four decades we have passed quite a few vital milestones and negotiated many a crucial turn. The year was both eventful and enjoyable with each one of us, driven by a strong force, endeavouring to turn into reality the perceived dreams of the founders of our Institute. Activities The year (April 1, 2008 to March 31, 2009) began with the International Seminar on Diversities in the Indian Diaspora jointly organised with the Indian Institute of Advanced Studies, Shimla, in early May 2008. The seminar discussed different facets of the Indian Diaspora, focusing on its diversity, culture and changing outlook. The seminar was attended by many national and international scholars. This was also the birth centenary year of our founder Professor VKRV Rao. Many activities were undertaken over the year that concluded in July 2008. The year-long celebrations included a Public Lecture Series by eminent persons, setting up a website depicting the life and achievements of Professor Rao, naming of the Nagarbhavi Road as VKRV Rao Road and a concluding three-day seminar. Two volumes were brought out as a part of the activities: the first one comprising thirty reminiscences by associates and admirers of Professor Rao and the other containing essays on important themes on development contributed by VKRV Rao Chair Professors and VKRV Rao Award winners in Social Sciences. The two volumes were released in the final event of the celebration -– a Seminar on the Institutional Structure of Social Science Research held during July 6-8, 2008. A book based on this seminar is under publication. The Seminar was inaugurated by Professor Sukhadev Thorat, Chairman, University Grants Commission, and presided over by His Excellency Shri Rameshwarji Thakur, the Governor of Karnataka. Shri Yeddyurappa, the Honorable Chief Minister of Karnataka, was the Guest of Honour and delivered the keynote address. He gave ISEC a Special Grant of Rs 2 crore for starting its Digital Library. The work on the Digital Library is progressing very well and we have successfully put up a lot of material on our website. Under this initiative, ISEC has entered into partnership with the Libraries of Mythic Society, Bangalore; Karnatak University, Dharwad; Bangalore University, Bangalore; Mysore University, Mysore; and Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics, Pune. Efforts are on to partner with the Digital Library of India, hosted by IIIT, Hyderabad, and IISc, Bangalore. We are in the process of associating with many other institutions. Professor N Jayaram chose to relinquish the position of the Director to join Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai. During his short tenure here, he left an indelible mark as a suave and gentle administrator and an excellent academician. Till I took over as Director, Professor M R Narayana was holding the fort as in-charge Director, and he lent his help in shaping a few important steps. After receiving the communication from the office of the Governor of Karnataka, I took over as Director of the Institute on August 21, 2008. The faculty and staff members of the Institute reiterated their full support to all the activities I discussed with them during the initial meetings. I am very happy that their full support is evident from the spurt of activities during the year. The retirement age of the non-teaching staff has been increased to 60 years and the annuity pension scheme is enhanced. Quite a few campus improvement activities are undertaken, including repairs, replacement of assets and maintenance. The students’ hostel has been provided with solar water-heaters cutting down the electricity V use. The survey of the ISEC land is completed and efforts are on to prepare a Master Plan for using the land. A plan is drawn for the future developmental activities. During this year, the inflow of research studies is stepped up significantly and some of the new initiatives are introduced. We have entered new areas like Climatic Change, Impact of Atomic Mineral Extraction, Electronic Waste, Pollution in Bangalore and many others. We have been careful in selecting research themes which focus on the current issues as well as problems confronted by the State and Central governments and other funding agencies. During the year, the faculty members of ISEC have completed 20 research studies and 22 studies are in the final stages of completion. There are 42 research studies which are in progress. The completed studies covered various areas of current interest. The first group of studies focused on many developmental interventions and the impact of these on the economy and society. Similarly, infrastructure including water, health, electricity and educational institutions attracted attention of researchers in ISEC. Quite a few studies have focused on these infrastructural issues both in the urban and rural contexts. Health, family welfare, morbidity and mortality, and child health care are some of the themes tackled by the faculty members in their studies. Right from the beginning of the Institute, poverty, employment, political decentralisation and gender have been the themes pursued by the faculty members and these continue to be on our agenda especially touching the current issues on this canvas. We are happy that we have quite a few studies taking note of the changes in the economy, society and polity due to the recent policy reforms under globalisation and these could be seen from the detailed report. The year was packed with a large number of events and academic activities including seminars, conferences, workshops, training programmes and research projects. Two annual conferences of prestigious academic bodies were held at ISEC this year. The Annual Conference of Indian Association for the Study of Population (IASP) was held during October 17-19, 2008, and delegates from all over the world, including functionaries of UNFPA, attended the event. Indian Association for Research on National Income and Wealth also chose ISEC as the venue for their annual conference. Professor Suresh Tendulkar and many officers from Central Statistical Organisation were here for the occasion. ISEC took initiative in discussing and preparing the draft Karnataka Groundwater Bill, 2006. This was a major policy back-up we provided to the State Government. A workshop on ‘Monitoring Common Pool Resources for Poverty Reduction’ was organised to discuss the FAO-sponsored project. As usual, the LS Venkataramanan Memorial Lecture, Karnataka Rajyotsava Extension Lecture and Kannada Rajyotsava Programme were successfully held in the Institute. Shri Nandan Nilekani, Co-Chairman of Infosys, delivered the VKRV Rao Memorial Lecture, whereas the annual Rajyostava Lecture was delivered by Dr Kasturirangan, Director, National Institute of Advanced Studies (NIAS), Bangalore. We have started a special series of ‘Open Discussion Forum’ with the help of Centre for Political Institution, Governance and Development. Marking the celebration of Prof VKRV Rao birth centenary this year, some of the prestigious public lectures were organised and we plan to bring out a volume containing all these. We had a number of seminars presented by visiting scholars during the year. Some of these are: Dr Daniel Brockington, Senior Lecturer, School of Environment and

Caste is hostile to individual and collective freedom. In recent years, there have been new attempts to understand the socio-economic conditions of the life of SCs/STs and dalit peoples and household in India. The SCs/STs, and Dalits throughout the country occupy the lowest rank in the caste hierarchy. They are landless agricultural and casual labourers. They are mostly engaged in menial jobs which adds to lower their social and ritual status further and still being suppressed and oppressed in different forms of social, economic and political spheres in many parts of the country.

  • Poverty in India: the Present Status of Bimaru States in Socio-Economic
    International Journal of Scientific Research and Review ISSN NO: 2279-543X POVERTY IN INDIA: THE PRESENT STATUS OF BIMARU STATES IN SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF INDIA Vishakha Jaiswal#1, Dr.Kahkashan Khan*2 #Centre For Management Studies, Madan Mohan Malaviya University Of Technology, Gorakhpur. Abstract— India is the vast and diverse country, leading to disparities in the growth and development of the country. Due to differences in the resource availability , infrastructure development ,demographic and socio-economic condition different states grow at different rates. There are some states which are performing well and contributing to the development of the nation while there are some states which are lagging behind in the basic necessities which act as hurdle in growth and development of the country and these states require special attention and efforts to improve its condition. In early 1980s Prof.Ashish Bose had coined the term BIMARU which represent the sick and underdeveloped Indian states. BIMARU is an acronym made from the first letter of the names of the Indian states of Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. These states are considered as backward and underdeveloped due to lots of socio-economic problems which leads to high level poverty. In last decade some progress has been made by these states but still lots of efforts are required to remove the label of BIMARU. The objective of this project is to study the present condition of BIMARU states considering the changes taking place in socio-economic indicators as well as the roles of the government in improving the condition of these sick states.

  • Demographic Transition
    Thematic Resources (Population/Demography) Page 1 of 8 Demographic transition ASHISH BOSE THE 21st century will witness a gradual transition to an ageing society the world over. The process which first started in low fertility western societies and in Japan is now spreading to the developing countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America. Countries like China and India will not only be at the forefront in terms of absolute number of total population, but also in terms of absolute number of the elderly (60+) population. In brief, the long term impact of decline in fertility and reduction in the size of family will lead to a decrease in the population of children (0-14 years), which in turn will push up the population in the working age group. Depending on the decline in fertility and mortality rates and the increase in the expectation of life, this will lead to an increasing proportion of the elderly after a time lag. A greying of the population is inevitable and one must understand its implications. Paul Wallace1, a popular writer, dramatically describes this phenomenon as ‘agequake’. If we understand the implications of ageing, agequake will not descend on us unexpectedly like an earthquake with death and destruction all around. Instead, we will be prepared to face a world converging on the elderly. In his recent book, Understanding Greying People of India, Arun P. Bali2 has put together a set of papers commissioned by the Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR). He rightly points out that the elderly are more vulnerable than younger persons to social and economic hardships because, ‘in the process of development, poor sections lose ground in relative and perhaps also in absolute terms.’ This may mean that apart from an increase in the elderly population, the population of the elderly poor will increase.

  • Shedding the BIMARU Tag
    ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 Shedding the BIMARU Tag Madhya Pradesh, Bihar and Rajasthan GANESH KAWADIA, SHEENA SARA PHILIPS Vol. 49, Issue No. 31, 02 Aug, 2014 Ganesh Kawadia ([email protected]) and Sheena Sara Philips ([email protected]) are with the School of Economics, Devi Ahilya University, Indore. The states of Madhya Pradesh, Bihar and Rajasthan have been striving hard in the last decade to get rid of their BIMARU label. They have made impressive strides in the field of health and education, and their efforts to boost growth and mitigate poverty are worth noting. At a time when development models adopted by the states of Gujarat and Tamil Nadu are being hailed, it might be useful to analyse the remarkable progress made by the BIMARU [1] states of Madhya Pradesh (MP), Bihar and Rajasthan. These states, along with the state of Uttar Pradesh, were once held responsible for retarding India’s development. The acronym BIMARU was coined by demographer Ashish Bose to refer to the above mentioned laggard states because of their poor demographic indicators. But soon the acronym was used to refer to their economic backwardness. Odisha shortly joined this club given its poor gross state domestic product (GSDP) and social indicators. However, in the last decade, these states achieved remarkable growth rates and that too during a period when the overall Indian economy was coping with faltering growth, rising prices, weakening currency and burgeoning deficit. The laggard states that were once blamed for retarding the growth of the country are now actually pulling it up (Financial Express 2012).
