India's Economic Development Since 1947

India's Economic Developments Since 1947 has been designed primarily to meet the requirements of the restructured course on Indian economy for B.A. (Hons.) students of economics of the University of Delhi. Although the content of the book follows essentially the B.A. (Hons.) course content of Indian economy (paper no. 07), the coverage is sufficiently broad as well as rigorous to meet the requirements of undergraduate/graduate students and also students of competitive examinations. The book is organised into four sections: Section 1 covers the major features of Indian Economy since Independence; Section 2, Growth, Development and Structural Change, discusses the growth and development experience with reference to changes in policy regimes and goals of development; Section 3 deals with issues in Indian economic policy with regard to population and human resource development; growth, unemployment and poverty; macro-economic stabilisation: trade, fiscal and monetary policy; agriculture, industry, services and trade; and Section 4 looks at India's development prospects. In addition to the recommended articles by several eminent economists, the book also provides comprehensive editorial notes by the editor.
