About the Book

With the advent of liberalization, privatization, and globalization, India has undergone significant economic development and infrastructural growth. Population and Health Care in Karnataka by C. M. Lakshmana examines how these transformations have impacted the dynamics of population growth and distribution in the state of Karnataka. This insightful volume provides a region-specific analysis of spatial variations in population and the pressing challenges in public health infrastructure.

The book highlights how demographic trends vary across Karnataka’s districts, affecting socio-economic development in diverse ways. It emphasizes that population growth remains a critical obstacle to sustainable development, mirroring patterns seen across India. The analysis focuses especially on the need for improved health care systems, including a detailed look at child health indicators and infrastructure.

By linking demographic studies with health care challenges, this book offers valuable input for researchers, development professionals, policy planners, and students of population studies and regional development. It is an essential resource for understanding the intersection between demographic change and health outcomes in a regional context.
