• The publication highlights the economic deprivation faced by rural populations and explores the multidimensional aspects of their challenges.

• The research uses secondary data available in the public domain, along with extensive data mining and the contributors' calculations.

• Economic Deprivation in Rural West Bengal is the first monograph in this series, which will present a detailed analysis of socio-economic conditions and changes in rural life.

• The book offers an important socio-economic perspective on the rural condition, which is often missing from mainstream publications and official sources of information.
