Patterns of Social Exclusion in Watershed Development in India

This book explores the exclusion of community groups from the perspective of people's equal opportunities and equal access to newly generated economic benefits, tracing the factors determining their denial and exclusion.

Paying specific attention to watershed development projects, it considers the detailed processes involved in the denial of institutional and livelihood opportunities to resource-poor groups, and discusses potential avenues for their meaningful social inclusion in the governance of natural resources.
