Banking development in India

This is a timely contribution in a field of the utmost importance in India's developing economy. Since Independence tremendous progress has been made in India: India has been seeking to develop and transform her economic structure through the strategy of planning. This has naturally brought in a number of growth oriented changes which, in turn, have made the country take rapid strides in the field of Banking. No wonder that in recent years, banking has been the subject of growing attention, careful study and even concern. The banking trends in the sixties acquire greater meaning when we look at the distant future.

In this book the author makes a significant departure from the usual treatment of the subject from purely theoretical angles; instead he makes a special study of, and correctly empha sizes, the developmental acti vities of the banking system in the country. He pays particular attention to the activities of Reserve Bank, Commercial banks, Cooperative banks and post office saving banks in a developing economy. The book is a lucid and comprehensive presentation of a complex and dynamic subject.
