DESCRIPTION
This study based primarily on archival records is a classic work showing the vita role of the government in the growth of decline of any economy. It is not important whether the area is a periphery or is in the mainstream, it can still be developed according to its extent and its capacity if the government identifies its strong points and draw backs. This is evident from the rapid changes that are again seen in Ratnagiri, Malvan and Venguria with the construction Konkan railway connecting Maharashtra, Goa and Karnataka and Kerala. The interest taken by the government in the development of beaches and new agricultural and industrial experiments in the Konkan have already started giving a much-needed impetus to socio-economic development on the western coastline of India transforming the lives of eleven million people who live there. The book should appeal to students and scholars interested in the changing economy and society on the west coast of India especially Konkan.
