Kuttan Mahadevan,M. Sumangala Illustrator: . Purchase Books Similar To Welfare Model Of Development And Demographic Transition Successful Programmes On Health, Nutrition, Family Planning And Development, B.R. Publishing Corporation 1997 ISBN: 9788170189466

New Hardcover . Tamil Nadu's recently achieved rapid and distinct pattern of "Welfare Model of Demographic Transition" adds a new dimension to this global theory. In fact the predominant welfare model of development followed in this state itself is a deviation from the fiercely competitive struggle found in several countries for rapid industrialization as a means for development, almost totally disregarding the welfare of the poor millions and the quality of their life. The Welfare Model of Demographic Transition evolved in Tamil Nadu has been possible largely due to the multiple welfare programs like the supplementary nutritious meal schemes, health promotion program and several other schemes introduced and successfully implemented in the state. How could Tamil Nadu succeed in revolutionizing demographic transition and making it rapid in less than a quarter of a century, without universal education and a higher level of socio-economic development, baffles one and all in the academic world. Societally also there have been certain other factors like the positive reform movements of enlightened leaders, particularly Periyar Ramasami and several popular films on urgent social themes in which the late M.G. Ramachandran (MGR) acted, together, which had tremendous impact on women and empowered them for their development, even though there was widespread illiteracy among them and little occupational mobility. In this book about Tamil Nadu, all the factors, innovative ideas, and viable strategies adopted in the state to achieve demographic transition are authentically and vividly presented. Policy makers, development administrators, welfare managers, and the NGOs in India and all the developing countries are sure to find this book eminently suitable to replicate the cost-effective and viable developmental model with built-in strategy for the stabilization of population presented in it, to achieve sustainable development and also improve the quality of life of their people.
