This book explores the possibilities of restructuring therural development programmesfrom an environmental perspective. These programmes are usually evaluated usinga few objective parameters, such as exhaustion of outlay and attainment ofcertain physical targets. In the course of evaluation, ex-post andconcurrent evaluations have gone on a beaten track. However, theperspective of developmental performance has, of late, undergone a sea change,bringing in new dimensions, encompassing the environmental implications of theprogrammes. It hasbeen rightly contended that a large number of studies on rural development failto analytically outline and unfold the integrated functioning of the villageeconomy from the environmental perspective. Now it is increasingly realised thata holistic study of a village development is a prerequisite to tackle theproblems of development and environment. Rural Development Programmes & Externalitiesmakes an earnest endeavor in this direction, hoping to raise positive reactionsfrom fellow researchers and policy makers in terms of both academic pursuits and policyresponses.
