About the Book

विकास, विस्थापन एवं पुनर्वास (Development, Displacement, and Rehabilitation) critically examines the growing phenomenon of industrial development and its social consequences in India, particularly displacement resulting from land acquisition. As industrial growth accelerates and urbanization increases, agricultural land is being taken for development projects, displacing families and communities. This displacement disrupts social fabric, economic stability, and cultural practices while also severely impacting the demographic processes such as fertility, mortality, migration, morbidity rates, and marriage rates.

The book highlights the psychological, social, and economic challenges faced by displaced families, including the loss of livelihood, mental health issues, and the failure of proper rehabilitation due to insufficient compensation. It also discusses the social neglect of the marginalized sections of society in the development process. Despite the positive economic impacts of development, the book critiques the lack of a comprehensive social policy and rehabilitation laws that fail to address the welfare of the displaced.

By analyzing demographic dimensions of displacement through individual and collective lenses, this book seeks to advance demographic research and offers solutions for human-centered urban development and land acquisition policies that ensure proper rehabilitation and resettlement for displaced individuals. It offers a valuable perspective for urban planners, policymakers, and social researchers working on urban development and human rights.
