Economic Survey of India

India was a typically backward economy at the time of Independence in 1947. The country suffered from the twin problems of rampant poverty and widespread unemployment, both making for low general standard of living. After over 70 years of development efforts, India is being hailed a bright star in the otherwise gloomy world economy. India has started witnessing many of the advantages of a fast growing economy: more consumption, greater production, more industries, expanding service sector, greater urbanisation, many more jobs, more economic activity and certainly more revenues for the Central and State Governments. This book provides a comprehensive description and analysis of developments in various sectors of the Indian economy since Independence in 1947.
