Digital Connectivity – Social Impact

Here is a book, which embraces the entire population of our country irrespective of their caste religion, sex, and age. Automobiles and its developments had changed our way of life beyond our wildest dreams. It also brought us a number of serious problems like accidents, pollution, congestion etc. In 2017, India lost 4.07 Lakhs Crores. Because of accidents and congestion, pollution was the cause of death of 12.4 Lakh of people. The appalling human misery and economic losses by automobiles demand immediately implementable solutions. Many books have been written about this but; you will find this book is special and unique in many respects. In short ‘THIS IS AN ACTION BOOK’ however even small action will have an impact on society now and in future. Its main theme is ‘YOU ARE THE ONLY PERSON WHO CAN AND SHOULD ENSURE YOUR OWN SAFETY.’ Definitely, this is not for theoretical knowledge, but practical implementable recipes, which are bound to bring results.

Drive Safe – Be Safe

This volume is an overview of, and commentary on, aspects of contemporary India and its socio-economic policies. It focuses on India’s economy and society in recent years, and in the process it addresses structural issues of development such as those of population, poverty, inequality, health, and social exclusion. It reviews the adequacy and appropriateness of governmental response to these problems, in terms of public policy, narrowly conceived, and philosophical orientation, more broadly conceived. The concern is not only with economic achievement and human development but also with the framework of civic rights, personal liberty, and institutional autonomy within which the exercise of governance is perceived to be carried out. The essays in this volume were originally written with the general-reader-as-involved-citizen very much in mind as the intended target. However, it should also be of interest to scholars of economics, political science, development studies, and South Asian studies.
