This book is an analysis of economic development of
Uttar Pradesh (UP), the most populous state of India
and perceives it to be a dynamic economy. It portrays
the state more positively than has been done so far
and presents a balanced approach to its development.
The book also examines bank credit, its
multi-dimensional role and its influence on the
development of UP. To depict a comparative
perspective, it examines credit to other states of
India as well. The book, however, projects bank
credit with a difference. It is contended that the
development outcomes of credit are different for
diverse groups of people, regions and population in
rural and urban areas. The book introduces credit as
a source of growth, globalisation, urbanisation,
inequality, development and empowerment of women.
The book should be especially useful to those
interested in UP, development studies, development
finance and those interested in economic development
of India and its states.
