2nd Edition: 2007-08
India’s Economic Developments
Since 1947 is the new avatar of the previously entitled Indian Economy
Since Independence, the highly acclaimed reference text which continued to
be revised every year until it ran into its 18th edition in 2006.
The present volume 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 in various
universities across India while also serving the 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; macroeconomic stabilisation:
trade, fiscal and monetary policy; agriculture, industry, services and
trade.
Section 4, looks at India's
development prospects.
The book is essentially, a
collection of select articles by some of India’s topmost economists and
experts. These highly recommended original readings are well supported by
comprehensive ‘editorial notes’ by Uma Kapila.
In addition to being a
textbook, this volume also serves as an ideal gateway for any interested
reader to explore, in a most authentic manner, various aspects relating to
India’s economic development since 1947. |
