This volume consists of lectures delivered by the eminent persons in public life associated with the development and policy sector of Rajasthan government and articles written by the educators in the fields of social work. Though the book does not have a basis of original research, the authors have high lighted the issues related with the formulation of policy and implementation of programmes in general, as well as meant for special groups of the society. I hope social workers, and the persons connected with policy and development programmes will find this publication useful.
