Inclusive Development through (informal Sector) a case study of Vidisha, Madhya Pradesh

Abstract

The urban informal sector has today become a subject of increasing interest especially in developing
countries like India. The logic of this interest can be attributed partly to the market disillusionment with
the industrial growth experience of these countries in the 1960s and 1970s when contrary to what conventional theorizing had projected industrial growth (i.e. a panacea an open sesame for ailing economies)
high rates of industrial growth were ironically enough, consistent with urban stagnation and poverty.
Instead, the urban informal sector has provided an explanation of how the urban poor manage to service
as the margins of modern economy in a large number of cities and towns, and how the urban poor are
creating an economy which represents an important source of employment and form of production of
goods and services which society needs
