{"product_id":"unintended-revolution-anna-romanowicz-9788323342380","title":"Unintended Revolution: Middle Class, Development, and Non-Governmental Organizations","description":"A new structure of local government, the contemporary village panchayat, has emerged in rural India as a consequence of the Constitution (73rd Amendment) Act, 1992. This new statistical domain requires databases for the development functions that have been allocated to it. This book is a study of panchayat-level databases and their potential use in local-level administration, planning, and policy implementation. It examines the overall status of local-level data available in two contrasting village panchayats: Raina gram panchayat, Barddhaman district, West Bengal; and Warwat Khanderao gram panchayat, Buldhana district, Maharashtra, drawing on interviews on the process of record-keeping and use of accumulated data with officials. The study attempts to understand the current and potential use of such records in decentralized development planning, the periodicity at which the records are updated, and the reliability and accuracy of such records. A specific and unique aspect of the book is its attempt to evaluate the accuracy of certain panchayat-level databases.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anna Romanowicz,Aparajita Bakshi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8323342385\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788323342380\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jagiellonian University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/22\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.20w x 0.50d","brand":"Anna Romanowicz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48442828783871,"sku":"9788323342380","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8a83eb93-d5d9-4373-9415-0509a4eac51e.jpg?v=1777200052","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/unintended-revolution-anna-romanowicz-9788323342380","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
