Description
One of India's most distinguished scholars analyzes growth and change in the Indian economy over thirty years. Based primarily on the data available in the National Accounts for the period, Professor Rao's study also includes projections for the Indian economy up to the year 2000, and a consideration of the implications of his findings for India's economic policy.
`...Dr Rao takes a futuristic peep into 2000 AD and observes that India will continue to be one of the poorest countries in the world in terms of its per capita product. Not a pleasing prophesy but Dr Rao makes some very useful suggestions on how to halt the continued stagnation...In sum, Dr Rao's latest study of national income trends should be read by every one who has a genuine concern for the country's future.' -- Southern Economist, March 1983
`Rao's exercise is probably the most comprehensive statistical account...of the last three decades of the economy...his findings provide additional up-to-date evidence for some of the old arguments, others throw new light on the functioning of the economy.' -- Business India, March/April, 1983
`A spectacular work has been done in the last chapter which contains some sectional projections of India's national income in the coming 2001 A D. The book will certainly satisfy those sophisticated readers who are willing to probe beyond the fundamental process of economic growth vis-a-vis intersectoral development.' -- The Management Accountant, August 1983
`An excellent research study which, though primarily addressed to scholars, will be of great interest to laymen also.' -- State Enterprise, July/Sept, 1983
`The book is an indispensable asset for any research library and is a monumental work useful for all researchers, academicians and those associated with economic planning and economic administration.' -- Jodhpuir Management Journal, Vol 11
