1.0 INTRODUCTION One of the most distinguishing characteristics of people is their tendency to migrate. The distance of these movements as well as their frequency, are distinctive characteristics. The mobility of humans is evidenced by the linguistic, social and nationalistic mixing of much of the world’s population, although, the mobility has always been a basic trait of human population.

The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is a branch of the U.S. Department of Transportation that administers federal funds and provides technical assistance for the support of locally operated public transit systems. MARTA / Atlanta metro area are part of FTA Region IV (the Southeast). FTA would be involved, for instance, in financing the federal grant monies discussed above. But actual regulation of operations (i.e., what MARTA does each day, or what MARTA will plan to do regionally) is more closely regulated by Georgia agencies.
Until recently, the Atlanta metropolitan area had no powerful central agency to coordinate regional transit. The …

Recently, there has been a popular trend in academic research for paying more attention to ‘pro-poor’ policies and theoretical studies.

This assumption has some important implications for the innovation and development …

"Advance Mysore" : The Cultural Logic Of A Developmental State, Chandan Gowda
Chandan Gowda
What governs state interests in development in formerly colonised societies? Conventional social science accounts stress politico-economic variables, particularly the need for capital accumulation. By means of a detailed analysis of the Bhadravati Iron Works, an ambitious industrial project in the state of Mysore in colonial India, it is demonstrated that mechanisms are also important in state-led development. Locational disadvantages, technical problems, and increased production costs made the iron plant an unprofitable venture from its inception. The state, however, kept the plant operational on grounds of its pedagogic value for local society. A claim for civilisational recognition for India’s capacity for …

Findings indicate there is a weak simultaneous relationship and income inequality is declining among aged 65 and above. Education, seen as social equalizer does not provide any evidence in reducing income inequality in West Virginia but as more and more women take up headship in families, poverty and …
