Summary |
This book provides the first-ever comprehensive analysis of growth and reform in the highly diverse states of the country. The authors argue that when the national government loosened its controls on industry and services, state government began shaping the fortunes of their citizens through state-level policy reforms, resulting in faster growth in every state over the last decade than any other decade in the post-independence era. In fact, some of the poorest areas, notably Bihar and Odisha, have been growing the faster.
