Replete with comparisons from around the world, it discusses the status of Indian women based on regional, religious, caste and class divides." "This book is written from the perspective of a development administrator who has taken an active part in many of these processes - in the role of a policy maker, planner and actual implementer of programmes for women's development. It will be of interest to government agencies, non-governmental organisations, social workers and those in the fields of gender studies, policy and planning, family planning and welfare, and human resource development."--BOOK JACKET.
