Using different methodologies, the first five chapters interrogate a wide range of issues including the impact of COVID 19 on the socio-economic life of the migrant workers and their response to the pandemic; evolution and growth of Jalpaiguri Town during the pre-independence period and determining factors controlling its growth; rural urban dynamics of the Public Distribution System in West Bengal; concept of Smart and Sustainable Cities (SSC) focusing on its objectives, dimensions and challenges; and present-day contradiction between human productivity and existence of life forms. The next four chapters deal with the economic, political and ideological processes that shape the urban spaces; concept of environment employed in the discourse of environmental thought; determinants of entrepreneurship aspirations among the members of SHGs in Bihar; and emerging agrarian structure in West Bengal in relation to the growth in non-farm sector and its implications on land. The final three chapters focuses on spatial pattern and gender disparity in literacy in West Bengal; plight of tea garden workers in North Bengal and comparative analysis of the nutritional status of children in West Bengal and India.
