2.24 The progress of the programme of sponsored research, initiated during the earlier years and continued during the year under review, has been briefly described in the para graphs that follow.
Poverty and Unemployment 2.25 The Documentation-cum-Clearing House Centre established at the Western Regional Centre of the ICSSR, Bombay, under the overall direction of Professor M.L. Dant wala has continued during the period. It has acquired a large number of papers, monographs and data sets relating to this theme of sponsored research.
Integrated Area Development
2.26 The following two reports were received and accepted : (i) "Differential Impact of Agricultural Develop· ment : A Micro Study in Maharashtra State", by Sulabha Brahme. (ii) "A Study of the Socio-economic Implications of the Application of the Intermediate Technology," by Sanjit Roy.
Public Distribution System
2.27 Projects sanctioned already were continued during the year. 9
Rural Del•elopment Programme 2.28 1he Rural Development Programme was further developed on a priority basis during the year under review. 2.29 As reported last year, a series of· eight state studies on the "Dynamics of Rural Transformation" was undertaken on the pattern of the study conducted by Professor C.T. Kurien on Tamil Nadu. The studies were started in June 1979. Work. shops were held to formulate a common design for all these studies. 2.30 Under the Micro-Study Programme, 10 more studies were sanctioned during the year under review. T11is brings the total number of studies sanctioned under this programme to 28. Of these 11 reports have been received and accepted by the Council. 2.31 Of the other projects sanctioned under this pro gramme one report was received during the year under review. 2.32 The Sub-Committee on Rural Industrialization had considered the preparation of three survey papers on the theme of Rural Industrialization. Of these, one study by Professor T.S. Papola which was sanctioned during the year 1978-79 was completed during the period under review. Programme of Women's Studies
2.33 The Programme of Women's Studies was continued during the year. 2.34 The eighth meeting of the Advisory Committee on Women's Studies held in September 1979 reviewed the achieve ments of the programme since its inception in 1976. During the four years of its existence, the programme has enabled an increasing 1mmber of scholars in investigating problems of women in the context of social change, economic moderniza tion and population dynamics. The increasing body of infor mation built up through the studies sponsored by the Council has been used extensively in policy discussions initiated by the Planning Commission and the Ministries of Agriculture, Indus tries and Social Welfare and Education. The findings of these studies have also been used by the Government of India for preparing materials for discussion at various international conferences, e.g. the Conference of Non-aligned and Other 10
Developing Nations on the Role of Women in Development (Baghdad 1979), ESCAP Regional Preparatory Council for the UN Mid-Decade World Conference on Women (Delhi 1979). The participation of the social scientists involved in the ICSSR's programme has been sought by various national and, international agencies in discussions on the role of women in: development. 2.35 The Committee noted that the programme had approved 56 research projects, of which 25 had been completed and that seventeen Fellowships were awarded-one Senior, two Post-Doctoral, three Short-term Doctoral and eleven Junior.
Governmental Systems and Development 2.36 This sponsored programme was launched in 1976 with a long-term research perspective under the overall supervision and direction of an Advisory Committee with Dr. V,A. Pai · Panandiker as the convener. The intention was to study the most critical areas of governmental systems from the point of view of evolving a better understanding of key academic and policy issues and presenting wherever possible viable alterna·, tives with the help of available social science knowledge and skills. Five areas were identified for study under the programme, namely, (1) Bureaucracy and Development, (2) Citizen Parti cipation in Development, (3) Public Sector as an Instrument of development, (4) Policy-making in Development, and (5) Rural Administration. 2.37 Studies on the first two areas mentioned above were taken up during the first phase of the programme (1977-79). In addition, three status papers were also prepared to serve as the background papers for undertaking more intensive and indepth studies during the second phase of the programme. 2.38 The key issues identified for intensive study under the two areas were: Bureaucracy and Development-(a) Bureaucra· tic and political interface in development ; (b) Interrelationship between bureaucracy and the people in the context of develop· ment ; (c) Bureaucratic skills and capabilities to fulfil its developmental role against a changed perspective. Citizen participation in development : (a) Modalities for citizen parti· cipation: non-participation, apathy, etc., (b} Grass·root parti· 11 cipation in the process of planning for development ; (c) Citizen preparedness for participation in urban and rural areas; (d) Bureaucracy's attitude towards citizen participation in development. 2.39 The Council sanctioned seven research projects to study each of the seven sub-themes stated above. Of these six projects were taken up during the first phase of the programme and were in varying stages of completion at the end of March 19 80. These are : (I) V.M. Sirsikar, A Study of Interrelationship bet1v.:'en Burea:tcracy and the Political Lwdership to Develop ment: 1-Vestern A1aharashtra (2) R.B. Jain, Bu-eaucracy and Development: A Compara tive Study in Orientation and Belwl'iour of Bureaucrats Engaged in Developmental and Non-developmental Tasks. (3) V.A. Pai Panandiker, Bureaucratic Skills and Capabili ties in Development. (4) H.R Chaturvedi, Local Bureaucracy and Del'elopment: A Comparative Study of Citiz:?n Participation in Two States. (5) N.R. lnamdill', District Planning in Maharaslztra : A Political Administrative Study: Grass-Root Participation and Inter~institutional Co-ordination in Two Districts. (6) Y.B. Damle, Citizen Partictpation in Rural De11elopment and Urban Administration: A Comparatil'e Study. 2.40 An attempt was also made to ascertain the role of the public sector in India as an instrume:1t of development. The result was a survey by Dr. V.A. Pai Panandiker and Arun Sud entitled "Public Sector as an Instrument of Develorment : A Survey of Agriculture, Education, and Health Sectors 1950-75". This survey is in the form of three status papers on the performance of the agriculture, education and health sectors during the first 25 years of planned development pro gramme of the country. Major Projects Agrarian Structure, Tensions, MoJ•emems and PeasaJJt Organiza tion in India 2.41 This is a collaborative effort by four major funding agencies, viz., the Planni11g Commission, the National Labour 12
Institute, the Indian Council of Historical Research and the JCSSR. The project consists of seven state reports for Andhn\ Pradesh, Bihar, M~1harashtra, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal and one central report to be prepared by the National Labour Institute where the project is housed. Final reports have already been received for Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Maharashtra and Punjab, and part reports for the other three states. The central report has also been partially prepared. Indian Economy since Independence 2.42 Under this project a substantial review of the Indian economy since independence is planned in four volumes : Review, Statistics, Policy and Legislation. It is estimated to cost Rs. 7,00,000 and was initially proposed to be completed in three years. It may, however, take another two to three years for completion. It is located at the Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics, Pune, under the directorship of Professor V.M. Dandekar. Historical Statistics of India
2.43 In the first phase of this project, it was planned to bring together, arrange, edit with notes and publish all the .available historical statistics of India up to 1947. The first phase estimated to cost Rs. 3,57,000 was initially expected to be completed w.ithin two years from its commencement. How~ ever, due to non-availability of staff, the completion of the project is likely to be delayed. Two separate studies on "Irrigation Statistics in British India," and "Statistics oflndia Related to Commercial Crops" have been specified for the theme of agricultural statistics and would form an integral part of this major study. The work is being co-ordinated by the Golchale Institute of Politics and Economics, Pune.
Analysis and Utilization of Census and Related Data, 1872-1971 2.44 This project was sanctioned by the ICSSR in 1974, but the actual five-year study began only in March 1975. The study has been extended till March 1981. Considerable data collected for the project have been processed and a 13 corpus of 15 volumes is being prepared. Four of these have already been published as reported last year. The total cost of the project is estimated at Rs. 12,50,000. The following volumes have also been completed : (1) Population, Food and Land Inequality in India : A Geography of Hunger and Insecurity (in press). (2) Population of Cities and Towns in India (1872-1971} (in press). (3) Female Work Participation in the Three Crop Regions. of India: Inter-temporal Study of Rural India in 1951- 1971 (mimeographed). (4) Uninhabited Villages of Karnataka State, 1872-1971 (being published by the Registrar-General of India). (5) Data Book of Functional Classification of Cities and Towns of India, 1961-1971 (mimeographed). 2.45 The following volumes are under preparation : (1) Indian Cities : Their Industrial Structure, Inmigration and Capital Investment. (2) Functional Classification of India's Urban Areas, 1961-1971 by Factor Cluster Method. (3) Status of Women : Shifts in Occupational Parti cipation, 1961-1971. (4) Shifts in the Functions of Cities and Town in India (1961-1971). (5) Inventory of Movement of Cities and Towns between Different Size, Class of Population. (6) Analysis of Use of CGHS Facilities in Delhi City (1972~1977).
Alternatives in Development 2.46 An attempt was made during this year to reorganize this programme so that some of the research inputs ·generated under the "alternatives" section could be integrated into the existing divisions of the Council. With this in view, various research projects and fellowships that were earlier initiated under the "alternatives'' programme were placed under the divisions dealing with research projects and fellowships. No separate listing of such programmes is made in this report. 14
Workshop on Alternatives in Development 2.47 A workshop was organized on 31 August 1979 in order to work out an organizational framework for the pro motion of research activities under alternatives. It was felt that the Council should try to work through a series of advisory groups, each with a floating membership, on certain chosen themes. These groups could provide different kinds of discip linary orientation and expertise to the Council. In pursum1ce of this suggestion, attempts are now being made to set up certain Wo1·king Groups on various aspects of the ''alternatives" programme.
Workshop on the Interface between Religion, Politics and Society 2.48 A workshop to study alternative patterns of inter nction between religion, state and society was organized at the Institute of Applied Manpower and Research on 25 October 1979. Various research ideas were discussed in order to involve the ICSSR with 11ew kinds of theoretical and empirical studies commissioned to evaluate the new role of religion in modern nation-states. It was decided that the ICSSR would set up a Working Group in this area which may in due course generate fresh research on this theme. '
Workshop on Illuminations : A School for the Internal Regene~ ration of Man's Experience, Imagination and Intellect 2.49 A two-day wo11kshop was organized at the Institute of Economic Growth on 14 and 15 February 1980 on a proposal submitted to the Council by Professor A. K. Saran. The proposal envisaged a series of sessions in order to re examine some of the central concepts of our contemporary existential predicament. The workshop brought out a number of altemative suggestions.

Progress was made in developi11g such a programme centring on the general theme of agrarian structure and change and a munbcr of concrete studies Imve emerged on the following lines : (i) to explore the J1istorkal process of change in agrarian structure in selected areas ; (ii) to study labour interests in agriculture and non~agricliltural employment in rural areas ; and (iii) to make a resurvey of selected villages in Kerala and Tamil Nadu, some of which were earlier covered by Gilbert Slater. Considerable work is already accompl.ished in the cashew and coir industries, and effect of state intervention on the organization and working conditi911S of the traditional industries and the significance of domestic savings for growth of the economy. The Centre has also taken up a two-year project under the sponsorship of the ICSSR on Fish Marketing in Kerala. A11ot11er two year study on Bovine Economy of Southern States sponsored by the ICSSR is due to be completed shortly. Detailed studies of the experience of different parts of Kerala in the evolution of education and medical care are undertaken to understand the historical factors behind the strikingly high level of education and health in Kerala. In the field of domestic finance the· main items of work include : (a) a critical review of centre-state financial relations ; (b) the recent buoyancy in domestic savings and its implications for growth ; and (c) a critical assessment of the methods currently used for estimati11g total corporate savings and investment on the basis of data: for a sample of companies. The implications of the recent large and continuing rise in 88 oil prices for non-oil exporting underdeveloped countries, and that of the proposal for creating a new Substitution Account facility in the IMF and related issues have been examined in a few research papers released by the Centre during the year 1979-80.

PANT SOCIAL SCIENCE INSTITUTE ALLAHABAD The Board of Governors of the Institute was constituted by the Indian Council of Social Science Research in consulta· tion wit11 the Govemment of Uttar Pradesh. The first meeting of tl1e Board was held on 27 March 1980 at Lucknow. The meeting elected Professor A.B. Lal as the President of the Board of Governors. A Selection Committee comprising repres~ntatives of the ICSSR, Government of D.P. and eminent social scientists had selected Professor A.D. Pant for appointment as Director. Tl1e Board of Governors approved the selection. The Board discussed the aims and objects of the Institute and laid down some broad -guidelines regarding the academic/ research programme for the year 1980-81. The Institute would mainly study tl1e socio-cultural matrix of the process 133 of development. 1t will make an 'in-depth' study of such matters as the nature of society and polity, dimensions and imperatives of mass politics, relationship between the social process and the political process, the nature of political parties, role of bureaucracy, theory of administration, educational problems, etc. It may delve into the problem of human motiva tion in the community development programme and sociology of bureaucracy. The recruitment of personnel and allocation of resources at the Institute would focus around "themes and research pro grammes" rather than "departments" representing different disciplines. In addition, the Institute will undertake training programmes, seminars, workshops, conferences, etc., as enuncia ted in its Memorandum of Association and Rules. The Board appointed a Research Advisory Committee comprising Shri G.K. Arora, Professor K.N. Naqui and Professor Ravinder Kumar to advise the Director on the research programme of the Institute. The Board elected Professor Nitish R. De and Professor Ravinder Kumar to the standing committee. The Memorandum of Association and Rules was finalized and the Institute was duly registered as a Society in March 1980. It had been agreed that the ICSSR and the Govemment of U .P. would give grants to the Institute both recurring and non recurring for its establishment and functioning on a matci1ing basis. The ICSSR had released grants to the Institute up to March 1979 for its maintenance and development but the Government of Uttar Pradesh did not release matching funds as the Society was not registered. The ICSSR therefore decided not to release any grant to the Institute till the grants released by it were matched by the state government. The Government of Uttar Pradesh released a grant of Rs. 1.50 Iakhs to the Institute during 1979-80 for its maintenance and development. 134 SARDAR PATEL INSTITUTE 011 ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL RESEARCH AHMEDABAD Research The following research projects were completed: (1) Construction Labour Market : A Study in Ahmedabad.
