About the Book
In this book, Sunil Kumar Munsi delves into the concepts and practices of regions and regional development, a topic that is now a part of the postgraduate geography syllabus at several universities, particularly in India. The book focuses on the spatial planning strategies adopted by the Indian government since independence, with a particular emphasis on centralized planning as a tool for development. Munsi discusses the significance of area development programs and the growth pole strategy, which were instrumental in addressing regional imbalances in development. The book also examines the Green Revolution and its impact on agricultural development, along with the evolving town-country relationships amidst rapid metropolitan growth. This comprehensive analysis provides valuable insights into the regional development strategies employed in India and how they have shaped the nation's socio-economic landscape. It is an essential resource for students of geography and those interested in understanding India's development trajectory from a regional perspective.
