Abstract

The Palanpur village survey shows that despite tremendous economic changes, the improvements in the human development outcomes are not commensurate. Lack of effective public services is one of the reasons for the slow progress in human development indicators in Palanpur. In this chapter we try to analyse the reasons for the absence of any public pressure in the village towards improving public services such as education and health in spite of the failure of existing services to meet people's needs.
