National Population Policy 2000: Re-examining Critical Issues
By Mohan Rao and Devaki Jain
In: Economic & Political Weekly, Issue: VOL 36 No. 16, April 21, 2001
|
With many states now having evolved and announced state population policies, there is a need to examine their links with the central policy and also to take a closer look at the experience of implementing the policy. While there has been some change in the content of the policy the blinkered vision on population and people's needs continues to be evident.

Women's Quest for Power: Five Indian Case Studies
Devaki Jain, assisted by Nalini Singh, Malini Chand
New Delhi, Vikas Publishing House, 1980 (272 pages)
|
The book discusses five Indian efforts in which women in large numbers have organized, participated or let themselves in pursuit of better food, clothing and shelter. The first chapter describes a trade union formed of the unorganized self-employed in a city; the second looks at the institutional structure of a renowned cooperative enterprise which is based on women who tend and milk cattle; the third examines a successful commercial enterprise, based again on household production of a processed food item; the fourth chapter examines the impact of the commercialization of folk art where women are the main artists; and the fifth is the story of a direct action movement generated by women in the north-eastern state of India against the alcoholism of their men.
