DESCRIPTION
This book explores the possibilities of restructuring the rural development programmes from an environmental perspective. These programmes are usually evaluated using a few objective parameters, such as exhaustion of outlay and attainment of certain physical targets. In the course of evaluation, ex-post and concurrent evaluations have gone on a beaten track. However, the perspective of developmental performance has, of late undergone a sea change, bringing in new dimensions, encompassing the environmental implications of the programmes. This work makes an earnest endeavor in this direction, hoping to raise positive reactions from fellow researchers and policy makers in terms of both academic pursuits and policy responses.
