Description
Post economic liberalization, India is witness to a serious mismatch between high economic growth and low human development. In contrast a remote corner of the temple city Bhubaneswar, the Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences, (KISS) is making waves globally, as the template of empowerment through quality education to 27,000 socially alienated and economically ostracized tribal children. The collection of essays is a tribute to the exemplary leadership of Dr. Achyuta Samanta, who has inked the first syntax of social inclusion in India and possibly in the whole world. The book also deals with various dimensions of growth & development disconnects and myriad challenges for self-reliance in defence manufacturing, globalization and the turf battles that the Supreme Court has to settle. It tries to combine the pragmatism of a Civil Servant with the skepticism of an academic.
