Locational Disadvantage and Deprivation of SC/ST People in Rural Madhya Pradesh
Abstract: Locational Disadvantage and Deprivation of SC/ST people in Rural Madhya Pradesh Ashima Gupta Ph. D Scholar, Economics, IGNOU Locational disadvantage can take the form of social exclusion from many everyday activities, services and facilities like lack of education, recreation, health, etc. The remoteness or isolation of an area makes it physically difficult for its inhabitants to participate in broader socio-economic processes of the society. The social exclusion of these castes and their locational disadvantage magnifies the multiplicity of deprivations faced by them and their children, in terms of constraining their overall human development and curtailing their opportunities and capabilities. This paper attempts to bring out the effect of locational disadvantage of SC/ST people in rural Madhya Pradesh in terms of availability of infrastructural facilities analysing the data from Census of India, 2011.
