Fish in a Dwindling Lake

By: C S Lakshmi

The body was the only truth she knew. It was the body alone that was left, even as she went beyond the body.’ Journeys form the leitmotif of these astonishing new stories by Ambai. Sometimes culminating in an unconventional love affair, some are extraordinary tales of loyalty and integrity; others touch on the almost fantastic, absurd aspect of Mumbai. Yet others explore the notion of a wholesome self, and its tragic absence at times. These stories are illuminated by vivid and unusual characters: from an eccentric, penurious singer-couple who adopt an ape as their son, to a male prostitute, who is battered by bimbos for not giving ‘full’ satisfaction. Crucially, some of the stories, like the title one, engage uninhibitedly with a woman’s relationship to her body. For Ambai, feminist par excellence, the sensual body, experienced as a natural landscape changing with age, is at the same time, the only vehicle of life and tool for mapping the external world.

Education and Society in a Changing Mizoram

Education and Society in a Changing Mizoram

The Practice of Pedagogy

By: Lakshmi Bhatia

Located in the domain of cultural politics, the book with rich ethnographical data from Mizoram, a lesser known and understood state, brings the community, state and culture to centre-stage, along with family and stratification of the sociological discourse in education. The book argues for a re-look at school education in Mizoram, besides providing critical insights into the North East region as a whole. It also points to the dilemmas of development in that region and suggests possible ways out of the impasse. Marking a significant departure from conventional thinking on education as 'human capital' as reflected in North-East Vision: 2020, the book strongly advocates the need for critical pedagogies based on learning from conflict; inculcating the values of tolerance and compassion as a precursor to peace; reconceptualising `development, not merely as 'economic' but as indicator of national happiness and valuing lives equally besides respect for traditional institutions, thus marking a break from the much resented paternalism that underpins all state interventions in education. One of the first studies of its kind regarding experience and practice of education, the book makes an important contribution to the role that education can play to usher in peace and promote respect for differences.

Agricultural Production

Agricultural Production

By: M. Lakshmi Narasaiah

Rationality is one of the basic underlying assumptions of economic behaviour of an individual, firm or industry. Economic theory rests on and takes as its starting point the assumption that each economic producer tries to maximize his individual gain, that profit motivation governs the behaviour of producers . This assumption is more true in explaining the behaviour of the non-agricultural sector of the economies than that of the agricultural sector. Contents: Introduction, Select Review of Literature and Methodology, Agricultural Economy, Regional Imbalances in Agricultural Growth, The Supply Behaviour of Food and Nonfood Crops, Regional Variations in Supply Behaviour of Major Crops, Summary of Findings.

Artisan Industry and Rural Development

By: M. Lakshmi Narasaiah,P. Sreenivasa Naidu

In a vast country like India with varied resource base and socio-economic conditions macro level studies may not throw much light on the problems of all regions. So, more micro level studies for each region are necessary for understanding the prospects and problems of artisan units in different regions of our country. The present study conducted in Kurnool District, one of the drought prone and backward districts of Andhra Pradesh, is a modest attempt in this direction and it throws much light on the problems and prospects of artisans and village industrial units in the District. Contents: Present Study-Scope and Limitations of the Study, Introduction and Role of Artisans in Rural Development, Kurnool District A Profile, Implementation of Adarana Scheme for Rural Artisans in Kurnool District, Socio-Economic Conditions of Artisans in Kurnool District, Summary and Conclusions.

Growth And Performance Of Small Scale Industry

By: M Lakshmi Narasaiah

In India, for a planned economy, greater emphasis has been placed on industrial development since the early years of planning. The second Five Year Plan accorded high priority to rapid industrialisation with particular emphasis on low development of basic and heavy industries. Since then attempt have been made to strengthen the industrial base of the country for a more rapid advancement. Rural Industrialisation is a concerted effort made in this direction. Small-scale industries have been occupied an important place in the planned process of industrialisation in Indian economy as they can be easily dispersed over rural and economically backward areas and can help in raising incomes.
