The state-level public enterprises (SLPEs) were set up specifically to fill the gaps in the social and economic development, especially industrial growth, employment creation, health, education, and provision of amenities. Services like electricity, medical care, transportation, irrigation, tourism, warehousing, and water facilities reached people in far-off places due to the setting up of the SLPEs. Over the years, the central enterprises have been the subject of study and discussion; however, the SLPEs have remained unexplored. This volume analyzes the various facets of functioning of the SLPEs in India. Based on primary as well as secondary data sources, it covers both the macro view and the state-wise scenario. The book highlights the gap between expectations and achievements. It suggests that to develop a greater understanding of the potential, problems, and prospects of the SLPEs, more information should be generated, and focused research needs to be undertaken.
