Dalit Women's Education in Modern India
Shailaja Paik’s book provides a textured analysis of the intermeshing of gender, caste, sexuality, family, community and education by exploring the life histories of Dalit women in Maharashtra (Ind
Evaluation of Gender and Equity Issues Under Sarva Shiksha Abhiyaan
In the last 50 years, India has made significant progress in the field of education. Yet, there are huge challenges, especially when it comes to bridging gender and equity gaps in education. In 2001, the Government of India (GOI) had launched Sarva Shiksha Abhiyaan (SSA) with the specific purpose of achieving universal elementary education (UEE). One of the main goals of SSA is to bridge gender and social gaps. Even though the SSA programme is pr…

Evaluating Gender and Equity in Elementary Education
This article traces the path taken in India towards more rigorous and nuanced analyses of gender and equity issues in elementary education. It argues for the need to go beyond counting numbers of girls and boys enrolled or completing school and delve into the in-school, family and community issues that facilitate or impede successful school completion. Based on research studies and evaluations the article argues for a nuanced and textured analysi…
The best of times, the worst of times
It is no longer possible to blame the inequalities among schools in India on parents or on an absence of demand for schooling. ‘The demand,’ as this paper shows, ‘has never looked more promising’. There is ‘a new hunger for education’. This new demand highlights the continuing discrepancies between policy and provision all the more starkly. Ramachandran gives detailed comparisons of regions and of levels of provision across India. Huge classes an…
The Abortion Assessment Project-India
The Abortion Assessment Project-India, begun in August 2000, is one of the largest studies on abortion ever undertaken in India. This article synthesises the findings of the six facility surveys, two community-based surveys, eight qualitative studies, policy review and commissioned working papers that were produced as part of the project by researchers from across India. Public investment in abortion services nationally was found to be grossly in…
Rural Banking and Landless Labour Households
Financial liberalization is a key component of programmes of orthodox structural adjustment. Financial reforms include, among other things, the removal of controls on interest rates and the abolition of programmes of directed credit. Here the effect of financial sector reform on rural banking and rural credit transactions in India is examined, with particular reference to landless labour households. First, the trends in selected indicators of rur…
Engendering Development
This paper, which considers ways to integrate gender issues in social sector programs in India, begins by evaluating the rationale for developing training programs for gender sensitization and the problems that can limit the impact of gender sensitization training. The next section describes effective training strategies as 1) beginning with creation of an atmosphere where trainees feel free to discuss their work and experiences while the facilit…
A Note on Kerala's Development Achievements
The most conspicuous feature of the Indian economy is that hundreds of millions of India's people live in conditions of appalling deprivation—in conditions of hunger, ill-health, homelessness, illiteracy, and subject to different forms of class, caste, and gender oppression. Among the states of India there is, as is now well-known, one state—Kerala—whose performance in the spheres of social and economic development has been substantially better t…
