Published By: NEHU on eSS | Published Date: May, 19 , 2011

Failure of economic growth in reducing the number of people below poverty line and promotion of equality may raise questions as to the desirability of growth itself. The objective of this paper is to report the findings on the extent of poverty and income inequality in the Udalguri Subdivision, District Darang, Assam. It is based on primary data collected from randomly chosen 182 households inhabiting seven sample villages in the Udalguri subdivision.
