The Tarai region of Eastern Uttar Pradesh has been especially selected as area of study because this is the most backward among the four economic regions. This occupies first rank in terms of population, area, density of population and total dropout rate in primary education among four economic regions of Uttar Pradesh. But as far as the development indicators are concerned, it ranks fourth in terms of composite index that is based on 36 indicators of development which includes 10 indicators of agriculture and allied activities, 7 of industrial sector, 10 of economic infrastructure and 9 of social infrastructure (Planning Department, U.P., 2011, p. 308). Evidently, the development in the area under study is in deplorable state even after six decades of independence.
