Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book assumes significance because it takes stock of changes, progress, issues, policy implications and experiences of the agencies involved in the wasteland development programmes.... This book gives practical solutions to issues of changes in policies, laws and administration based on various experiences.... This book is a useful source of information for all those involved in such programmes and policies. --Deccan Herald "This volume represents a significant landmark in the continued efforts to enhance rural poor women's access to land and other productive resources, for better livelihoods and improved status. . . . It is a landmark from the point of view of both practitioners and researchers, as it brings together an array of practical experiences in the field of organizing women for improved access and greater bargaining power. Along with this, it deals with related issues and problems. . . . The book is a valuable addition to the literature on women's poverty and landlessness, their struggle to strengthen their rights and status, thus providing an agenda for action by policymakers, NGOs, and women's groups, as well as international agencies." --Seminar What role do women play in the development of wasteland areas and regions? How do caste, class, and tribal affiliation affect women's participation in development of wasteland areas? This volume brings together policy-makers, researches, and village women to discuss and analyze wasteland development primarily from the perspective of the women themselves, and not merely from the point of environmental regeneration. Contributors first address the evolution of wasteland development in India in general, offering a unique framework for understanding the place of women within it. They then document the grassroots experience of village women in the states of Rajasthan and Gujarat. Throughout, contributors examine legal implications of women gaining access to land-based resources and review policy issues that will ensure women's continued participation in wasteland development. "Although the data collected are confined to India, they help reach conclusions valid for trans-border countries in common ecological belts." -The Statesman "It is rich in empirical material, and adds considerably to the existing evidence of the interrelationship between poverty, natural resources and gender. . . . The editors must be congratulated for selecting paper of almost uniform quality, and covering such comprehensive range of issues. . . . The most important contribution of this book . . . is the extensive evidence it offers for a still nascent thesis in the field of women's empowerment." -The Book Review

This book was released on 1994 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IMMEDIATE OBJECTIVES: Poor rural women make productive use of and derive sustained benefits from converted wasteland and related sideline activities. FINDINGS: The project's objectives were only partially achieved because the outputs had to be reduced due to factors beyond the project's control. Ninety-seven acres were developed and about 785,000 saplings planted between 1991 and 1993. A total of 231 women in 15 villages benefitted from employment and income resulting from the project which reduced migration from the area. The organization of the women into cooperatives and groups as well as the leadership training provided by the project, improved their standing in the home and in the community. However, fairly complex problems concerning the government-owned wasteland, the community's grazing rights and the women's access to and control over the land hampered the project's activities and would undoubtedly hinder sustainability if not resolved. Also, the women did not possess the necessary management and technical skills to properly utilise the large plots of land alloted to them. RECOMMENDS: A new approach to accessing land should be pursued. A state-level forum should be used to seek favourable government decisions in securing long leases on land from panchayat and resolving problems faced by cooperatives in acquiring land. ILO should conduct a thorough impact study of the project's activities including the legal and policy issues involved in order to draw lessons learned. Recommends specific criteria to be taken into account when designing future similar wasteland development projects. LESSONS LEARNED: Alloting women individual plots is likely to cause problems concerning the equitable distribution of productive resources and income emanating from them. Also the local community using the grazing land may oppose the allotments because they feel that their traditional grazing rights are threatened. It is essential to consult the local community and to be aware of the social and political milieu of de jure and de facto land rights before undertaking such a project. Much technical and managerial training is needed for poor rural women to be able to develop wasteland. Therefore, small tracks of land are more suitable than large areas.

Download or read book Kerala written by Richard W. Franke and published by Food First Books. This book was released on 1994 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kerala, a state in southwestern India, has implemented radical reform as a development strategy. As a result, Kerala now has some of the Third World's highest levels of health, education, and social justice. Originally published in 1989, this book traces the role that movements of social justice played in Kerala's successful struggle to redistribute wealth and power. A 21-page introduction updates the earlier edition. This book underlines the following positive lessons that the Kerala experience offers to developing countries: Radical reforms deliver benefits to the poor even when per capita incomes remain low. Popular movements and militant progressive organizations with dedicated leaders are necessary to initiate and sustain reform. Despite their other benefits, radical reforms cannot necessarily create employment or raise per capita income. Local reformers are restricted by national politics. Public distribution of food is a highly effective policy in poor agrarian economies. Devoting significant resources to public health can bring about low infant mortality, high life expectancy, and low birth rates even when incomes are low. Widespread literacy and educational opportunities can help create a more just and open social order. Meaningful land reform can reduce inequalities and give resources to the poor. Wage and working-condition laws can help effect more equitable resource distribution even in a poor economy. Greater socioeconomic equality can lead to lower levels of violence and a healthier social and political environment. Women can benefit from radical reforms not aimed at them, but special attention must eventually be given to their needs. Progressive forces, including Communist parties, can play a major positive role in benefiting very poor Third World citizens. Radical reforms can shield the poor against recessions. Contains over 200 references. (TD)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spearhead of Logistics is a narrative branch history of the U.S. Army's Transportation Corps, first published in 1994 for transportation personnel and reprinted in 2001 for the larger Army community. The Quartermaster Department coordinated transportation support for the Army until World War I revealed the need for a dedicated corps of specialists. The newly established Transportation Corps, however, lasted for only a few years. Its significant utility for coordinating military transportation became again transparent during World War II, and it was resurrected in mid-1942 to meet the unparalleled logistical demands of fighting in distant theaters. Finally becoming a permanent branch in 1950, the Transportation Corps continued to demonstrate its capability of rapidly supporting U.S. Army operations in global theaters over the next fifty years. With useful lessons of high-quality support that validate the necessity of adequate transportation in a viable national defense posture, it is an important resource for those now involved in military transportation and movement for ongoing expeditionary operations. This text should be useful to both officers and noncommissioned officers who can take examples from the past and apply the successful principles to future operations, thus ensuring a continuing legacy of Transportation excellence within Army operations. Additionally, military science students and military historians may be interested in this volume.
