Abstract:
In the past few years, India has given its citizens four important socio-economic rights: the right to information, the right to employment, forest rights, and the right to education. This book thoroughly analyses these rights and their implementation to assess whether these pro-poor initiatives have really benefitted the poor. Pointing out that these have not really worked for them, the book suggests a rights-based framework with proper laws, adequate resources, and institutional infrastructure to bridge the gap between the rights and their rightful beneficiaries.
