Govind Bhattacharjee

Special Category States of India

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Eleven hill states of India, lacking severely in economic resources, and geographically isolated from the rest of the country but sharing international boundaries, comprise the group of 'special category states'. These states are Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, Tripura and Uttarakhand. This book explores the reality of these states, going down to the roots of their backwardness and examining these in the context of asymmetric federalism. It evaluates their socio-economic progress as well as public financial management ever since the special category- status was first awarded to these states in 1969.
