Grass Without Roots, the first comprehensive review of the Indian government′s development programme, examines the impact of policies at the grass-roots level. On the basis of detailed field studies, the authors conclude that it is essential to involve the people in the design and operation of rural development schemes. They argue that without democratic decentralization, efforts to alleviate poverty and hunger in India′s villages will remain an exercise in futility.
