India's economic development c.3

This book is a compilation of the Lalit Narain Mishra Memorial Lectures delivered by some of India's most eminent economists and administrators who have been actively engaged in shaping the economic destiny of the nation.

The lectures relate to the gigantic economic experiments undertaken in the country in the last 35 years and the problems are those which have tended to arrest the developmental process in different areas, making it lopsided. For, in spite of India's overall growth potentials, the last three decades have proved favourable for the powerful classes of society only.

The present lectures identify the bottlenecks which have impeded our developmental processes, and the measures which need to be taken on an urgent basis to ameliorate these conditions.

They will be of much consequence to bureaucrats, economists, scholars and politicians, and all those involved in economic development and social change in a developing country like India.
