Format:Kindle Edition|Verified Purchase
The book contains eighteen chapters with catchy, apt and meaningful heading matching the theme of the best practice in each of them. The author, a senior civil servant though holding various senior positions, it appears, loves to be amidst rural poor frequently. The content describes new ideas caught by the author through listening and interactions with vulnerable section of the rural community for sustainable solutions to the local problems. He documented the innovations made to improve socio-economic conditions of the deprived people of the villages ,proven out of his experience while implementing the schemes in different sectors which includes mainly fisheries but also self- employment, enterprises, small industries clusters, rural health and solar energy applications for drying, freezing ,lighting homes and street lights in remote rural areas. Another interesting feature of the book is that it recognizes the dedicated, unnoticed officials working in the field by citing names which raises their esteem and also make them role models for others for replication in other areas in India. I find the book is not just field notes but a comprehensive document explaining the process of change and the tools adopted in each case. The appealing relevant action photographs add value to the subject. The book is a good reference material for all those involved in development of fisheries and rural areas. I would like to compliment the author for writing such a useful book.
