Orissa is known for its' firm support to economic reforms, privatization and
globalisation. It has been witnessing a series of reforms in various sectors of the
economy since mid 1991.
The so called reforms, composed of structural
adjustments and liberalization policies are more or less based on market approach
to development, and therefore, they are likely to have adverse impact on the poor
and unemployed.
As the reform period is now more than one and half a decade old, an
attempt has been made to analyze the effectiveness of public spending on social
sectors viz., education and health in terms of human development indicators in
Orissa. Social sector expenditure is supposed to have a bearing on the quality of
life of the people.
This study is intended to cover some analytical issues related to
growth with social justice and human development in this age of accelerating
reforms in Orissa.
