Summary |
The post independence period of India was marked by economic policies which tried to make the country self sufficient. Under the economic reform, stress was given more to development of defense, infrastructure and agricultural sectors. Government companies were set up and investment as done more on the public sector. This was made to make the base of the country stronger. To strengthen the infrastructure, new roads, rail lines, bridges, dams and lots more were constructed.
The economy of India is one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Since its independence in the year 1947, a number of economic policies have been taken which have lead to the gradual economic development of the country. On a broader scale, India economic reform has been a blend of both social democratic and liberalization policies.
This book is trying to look on the broader spectrum of economic reforms; it’s up side and down side both.
