A Social and Economic Atlas of India

This is a major work of reference on India in the 1980s.

With 247 maps, supplementary texts which include 344 up-to-date charts, the atlas provides a comprehensive picture of India's habitat, society and economy.

Its wealth of data makes the atlas a good source of reference for everyone interested in knowing more about India's progress since independence, its present status, and what the future promises.

The atlas identifies existing resources and indicates the threats posed by over-use.

It is divided into 9 sections, each dealing with a specific objective: the land, the people, climate, the natural resources, the infrastructure, the produce, the tourist scene, the national economy, and the international equation.

Readership: institutional and industrial libraries; government departments; development agencies; research scholars of modern India.
