		<description><![CDATA[Gender discrimination is a devastating reality in developing countries. Women are oppressed at home, at shops, and at the workplace. India is no exception. Women are dependent on family and kinship to access social goods and economic opportunities. The Government of India has passed several laws to protect women's constitutional. In addition, the government has provided several welfare measures to empower women. Monitoring the implementation and effectiveness of these programs at the national level is not an easy task. ]]></description>

Higher levels of confidence in the system’s institutions and trust in one’s fellow citizens facilitate the social interactions that build a strong civil society. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During the immediate post-independence period, India developed the theory of ARD decentralization that is still valid today. It includes four key elements that contribute to positive agricultural and rural development: (i) community participation, (ii) decentralization, (iii) autonomous institutions at local and community level, and (iv) the application of modern agricultural technology.  Global evidence shows that the vision has tremendous value in revitalizing the rural sector. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rural housing has attracted considerable attention in the recent years just as much as the rural markets in general have. In a policy sense, recognition of housing deficiencies was at the centre of several rural development programs. After all, rural India accommodates over 700 million people today. There is no question of rural housing demand not rising as the overall economic growth is taking place. It is also well recognised that improvement and expansion in the rural housing stock would lead to gains in labour productivity and positive health benefits. The poor state of habitations is an economic problem. A distinctive aspect of rural housing, which is seldom recognised, is the lack of planning of rural habitations.  Growth of population and other economic activities have led to deterioration of the quality of local environment. The problem is particularly acute in low rainfall and unirrigated areas. The rural infrastructure programs do bring in roads, electricity, drinking water and sanitation. But convergence of these various programs with housing and habitation plan is largely missing. The role that panchayats can play in this respect as units of self-government is indeed huge.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A major problem currently engaging the attention of health professionals concerns the low efficiency and poor quality of health service delivery in the health sector in rural India. This is despite a fairly well developed rural health infrastructure. Highly centralised health services with very little local autonomy either over programmes or over resources is regarded as one of the major contributory factors for poor service delivery owing to the following two typical problems.
