"Tripura is one of the eight states of the North Eastern Region of India. The book deals with various socio-economic aspects of Tripura. The topics covered in this book may lead to confusion if one fails to note the main objectives of the book. One objective is, of course simply providing reliable data in the specific areas touched upon by the book. The second is to entice interested readers on researchable topics. The third is getting feedbacks on the analysis undertaken here for further improvement. Most of these papers have been presented in different seminars and workshops at different periods. 

The book covers urban growth, plan expenditure, transactions on agricultural produces, rice requirement, Indo-Bangladesh border trade, forest rights act, development of small scale industries and so on. The researchers and academicians who are engaged in the related field will find this book useful." (jacket)
