Growth in Maan

Abstract

In this chapter, we deal with the issue of how the village has changed after new industries etc. were set up on the acquired land. Based on the survey of all households, we put forth the findings with respect to gains from acquisition. Then we discuss the employment and occupational structure. A simple regression is fitted to find out the causal factors affecting employment. We find that the level of unemployment is quite high in Maan and the quality of employment is very poor. This is followed by a study of the implications of acquisitions for land-losers and land-holders. This chapter has ten tables.
