V.K. Natraj studied economics in the University of Mysore and University of Oxford. He worked for three decades in the University of Mysore, where he was Professor of Development Studies in the Institute of Development Studies. After retirement, he was Director, Madras Institute of Development Studies, Chennai. He had a close association with the Institute of Development Studies at the University of Sussex UK. His fields of interest are: decentralisation, panchayat raj institutions and positive discrimination.

 

A.Vaidyanathan occupies a pre-eminent place in the field of academic research as well as policy making. His contributions to irrigation and water management are hailed for their originality.  He has worked for the National Council for Applied Academic Research, Planning Commission, Centre for Development Studies and the Madras Institute of Development Studies. Apart from this, he was associated with the FAO and the World Bank.  In recent times, he chaired a committee to frame a plan for restructuring ICSSR and also for revitalising rural cooperative societies. His papers include several which incisively examine India’s growth record and in particular focus on some puzzles it exhibits. One of his interests focuses on the use of Census data for gleaning socioeconomic inferences about rural India in particular.

This is a momentous study focusing on the importance of vulnerability analysis for assessing risk resulting from climate induced disasters.

Hence, it is enormously useful for policymaking for lessening the latent risk of potential disasters; and so would be extremely useful for geographers and policy makers. 
Rolee Kanchan, Professor and Former Head, Dept. of Geography, The M.S. University of Baroda, Vadodara.

 

Comprehensive vulnerability and risk assessment are crucial in understanding the past, present and future consequences of climate induced disasters. The linkages between disaster management and development processes are not adequately emphasized in existing literature. The micro-level vulnerability and adaptation assessment can help communities to adopt within a system. Subsequently, the community can also recover from future disaster events under climate change scenario. In above context, the book by Dr Shital Shukla is praiseworthy effort taking Gujarat as a case study. 
R.B. Singh, Vice President, International Geographical Union (IGU) and Head, Department of Geography, University of Delhi, New Delhi.

 

This book is an excellent proposal for reducing vulnerability by risk due to climate induced disasters. Gujarat in India is a local example for global changes. Work in local challenges produces global victories. Congratulation for a great book.
Raúl González Herrera, Chief of the Natural Hazard Risk Reduction Division, Universidad de Ciencias y Artes de Chiapas UNICACH, Chiapas, Mexico.

 

This micro-vulnerability analysis will help the researchers and policy makers. I am sure that this book will inspire many to carry out such analysis at the local as well as regional levels to mitigate the impact of disasters.
V. Thiruppugazh, Commissioner of Rural Development & Secretary (Rural Development), Government of Gujarat.

Shital Shukla is Associate Professor (Geography), M.S. University of Baroda, Vadodara. She is also a faculty (on Lien) of Sardar Patel Institute of Economic and Social Research, Ahmedabad.

 

She is PhD from Gujarat University and her doctoral thesis was entitled: Sustainable Development of the Coastal Region of Gujarat. Her areas of research interest are: natural resource management, climate change and disaster management, regional planning, human development, sustainable development and environmental planning.  

 

She is deeply involved in projects related to human development, sustainability and livelihood issues, climate change and disaster risk management and urban water disasters. She has presented many research papers in national and international seminars and conferences. She has worked with UNDP, DFID, International Cooperative Alliance, National Disaster Management Agency, National Institute of Disaster Management and Ministry of Human Development.

After the formation of Andhra Pradesh, he was Secretary, Planning and Development from 1969 till President’s Rule in 1972 after which he became Secretary, Finance and Planning.

 

He was a close advisor to all the Chief Ministers of Andhra Pradesh—Brahmananda Reddy, who once described him as the “memory of Andhra Pradesh”, P.V. Narasimha Rao, Jalagam Vengala Rao and Marri Chenna Reddy. In this capacity, he also worked closely with the Telangana Regional Committee and its then Chair-man, J. Chokka Rao. By virtue of this, he was closely associated with the evolution of the Five-Point Formula after the 1969 Telangana agitation and the Six-Point Formula after the Andhra agitation of 1974, both of which formulae were called the Indira Gandhi Formulae. Thereafter, he was also the Finance Secretary and was the longest serving Planning and Finance Secretary in the country when he left the state to take up an International Monetary Fund (IMF) assignment as Advisor. He was Deputy Chairman of the Andhra Pradesh State Planning and Development Board till 1992, when he was appointed a member of the Tenth Finance Commission.
