Abstract:
|
In the early 1980s, the Government of India launched the Development of Women
and Children in Rural Areas (DWCRA) program under the Integrated Rural
Development Program.
Though the DWCRA program was not very successful in the rest of the country, it
was successful in Andhra Pradesh. The case gives an overview of the DWCRA
program in Andhra Pradesh, and its impact on the lives of rural women there. It
also discusses the role played by the government in the success of the DWCRA
program in the state and explores the role of the corporates in rural
development programs.
