Volume 1. Land, water, and agriculture --
volume 2. Urbanization, industry, and development.


This two-volume survey in economic geography conducted by the Indian Council of Social Science Research aims to understand spatial organization vis-à-vis socio-economic development. Within this framework, the survey evaluates India's economic growth, presently centred on the system of relatively few large cities in the midst of innumerable villages and small towns. It underlines the need to reverse the dominant concentration of economic activity around urban centres, and to integrate the development of small towns and villages.
