India development policy imperatives / edited by Vijay L. Kelkar and V. V. Bhanoji Rao

Building a nation amidst a universal environment of fast-paced change, is a creative and challenging process. It can also be at times frustrating, beset with anxiety and turmoil, at the national, sectoral and individual levels.

The search for answers is on-through a redefinition of systems and policies related to dynamically interlinked and intrinsically complex issues, and through setting a direction for the future. The book, India: Development Policy Imperatives formulates a policy agenda for the coming years. It presents an in depth analysis of the developmental issues as seen by eminent economists, scholars and leaders of institutions.

Most recent statistics and research insights have been intricately woven with the macro-level social dimensions to make subjects such as Finance, Energy, Trade, Industry and Agricultural Development more interesting. The writers, who are experts in their chosen areas of specialisation, have dwelt at length on the multidimensional aspects of post-liberalisation India. They provide fresh ideas and inputs for debates and discussions leading to actionable and implementable policies.
