The book ' URBAN POVERTY IN INDIA' is the synthesis of Economics, Sociology, Social Work and Public Administration. It is useful to academia, students, policy makers, social workers & the public, to understand the dynamics of urban poverty in India, and gain in-depth knowledge of the status of implementation & impact of the major anti-poverty programmes in India, such as Public Distribution System, Mid-day Meal Scheme & Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana. This volume has an integrated approach to the subject, based on advanced level of post-doctoral research, and analysis backed by field level data. Though good literature is available on the incidence of rural poverty; but the studies on urban poverty are rare, while the number of urban poor are increasing in recent times. Hence this book will certainly bridge the gap.
