The present study considers the status of social equity in Madhya Pradesh with special reference to health, education and socioeconomic aspects of social development. The policies along with central/state schemes focusing on sectors such as education, health, nutrition, WASH and tribal development have been reviewed. Attention was given to understand the impact of existing policies/schemes and to determine the gaps in the existing system. The paper is organized as follows. In the first phase, the study analyses the status of health, education, nutrition, and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) sectors in Madhya Pradesh. Secondly, the global perspective is given in the local context to understand the various factors influencing the outcome indicators. Thirdly, policy prescription and recommendations are provided to confirm that the strategies and policies will be able to address those bottlenecks. These findings could have significant implications for the policies aiming to reduce social disparity and inequalities in the state.

While improvements in human development aspects like health, decline in fertility, and an increase in longevity are desirable, the projected increase of the elderly population over the next few decades is emerging as serious development concern that warrants priority. The Paper is a first-of-its-kind attempt by Poverty Monitoring and Policy Support Unit (PMPSU) of Madhya Pradesh State Planning Commission to outline the situation analysis and major Issues that affect the elderly and review of existing gaps in policy and practice. This Paper is a compilation of various reviews, fact sheets and research articles to highlight the contrast of the happy picture of increased longevity, and the prospect of long years of hopelessness, bereft of family and society. Finally, it provides suggestive measures so that the ‘golden age’ does not become synonymous with ‘destitution’ for about two-thirds of the elderly population in the country.

There has been a continuous struggle towards evolving democratic governance that provides for the participation of citizens in the developmental process. However, owing to vast inter- and intra-country differences, no single method has been set so far as a model for others to follow, although each effort contributes towards further deliberation and evolution. For the first time in the development history of MP, the government has shown the courage to interact with the community for making local development plans. This paper evaluates the adequacy of the decentralisation framework and mechanism of governance adopted by the state to achieve the desirable goal of participatory democracy.

Dimensions of Human Development are related to Education, Health-Nutrition and Livelihood. It is a well known fact that Education is one of the major determining factor which impacts health and livelihood directly and indirectly. This has been observed in many countries and over different time periods, a wide variety of health measures have been taken but without resulting significant outcome/results in comparison to efforts and investment made in the sector. To find out the answer to this, one has to go in detail research based discussions. The purpose of this paper is to establish the impact of education especially of mothers with different aspects affecting health status in Madhya Pradesh.
