About the Series

We have started a series called States of our Union, under which it is proposed to bring out books on the States and Union Territories of the Country.

The aim of the series is to promote greater awareness and understanding of the different regions of our great and diversified nation. The books will try to provide a factual account of the life, culture and economic progress of the States and Union Territories, as also their contribution to the development of India as a whole.
