India has committed itself to the pursuit of achieving the goal of Health For All by AD 2000 in accordance with the Alma-Ata declaration, 1978. There has been ample evidence to demonstrate that for the success of any health programme medical intervention alone will not bring about the desired results. Its success or failure depends, to a large extent, upon the interplay of several non-medical factors such as social, cultural, political, economic, and psychological. The role of these key factors in the domain of health care activities has been recently recognised by social scientists all over the world. It present a pioneering attempt in India to understand the relationship of social stratification and health care in a rural community from a sociological perspective.

Caste, Social Inequality and Mobility in Rural India: Reconceptualising the Indian Village investigates and presents a holistic view of today's rural India by analysing different social aspects such as caste, migration, mobility, education and inequalities. It further studies the village social structure comprising peasants, artisans, weavers and the middle class, and the role of education in reshaping the social life of rural people. It challenges current conceptualisation and understanding of caste as a system, caste mobility, caste-class polarity and country-town divide. This book also argues that caste as a system has ceased to exist, but caste persists discretely as a non-systemic means of appropriation for political and social ends. This interdisciplinary dynamic study reconceptualises the 'village' by explaining the emerging social trends and patterns of social stratification in contemporary rural India.
