About the Book

विकास का समाजशास्त्र (Sociology of Development) explores the dynamic concept of development, a term which initially only referred to economic growth. Over time, this term has evolved into a multi-dimensional concept encompassing economic, social, and political processes. The true meaning of development goes beyond mere economic growth; it involves human and social development, highlighting the need for a holistic approach to progress. The characteristics of development closely align with those of modernization, as these two processes are complementary. For a society to advance, it must adopt modern values, as progress cannot be achieved without modernization.

This book delves into sociology of development, which examines the intricate relationship between society and economy. The book focuses on understanding how cultural-structural development and economic development influence each other. It aims to identify the factors that either facilitate or hinder development, while also evaluating the role of the state in the development process.

Apart from exploring the concepts and dimensions of development, the book covers crucial issues such as theories of development and underdevelopment, paths and agents of development, culture, structure and development, urbanization and development, economic reforms and globalization in India, technology and development, entrepreneurship, and modernization. The structure of the book ensures it caters to the academic needs of students studying development, offering a comprehensive understanding of the field.

This work is indispensable for students, researchers, and anyone interested in understanding the sociology of development from a sociological perspective, particularly in the context of India and its evolving development patterns.
