Book Synopsis India - Accelerating Growth and Development in the Lagging Regions of India by : Weltbank
Download or read book India - Accelerating Growth and Development in the Lagging Regions of India written by Weltbank. This book was released on 2012. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the Indian economy has been growing at a stellar rate of about 6 percent per annum since the mid-1980s, this achievement has been clouded by growing inequality and divergence in development outcomes among India's different regions. This study, thus, identifies a regional development strategy built around policies that are good for both the development of the Low Income States (LIS) and for India's overall development. That is, these policies are more in the nature of win-win rather than trade-offs between regional and national development. They focus on and address key issues: adverse neighbourhood effects; the comparative advantages of the LIS in agriculture and small town, agro-based, labor intensive industries; support for relatively inexpensive 'local or rural' infrastructure; critical human and social development that addresses exclusion, and; targeted investments of public expenditures alongside a build-up of capacity. These choices focus on core necessities rather than trade-offs between national and regional development. Further, they aim to achieve greater equity in welfare for the population of different regions rather than equality of economic activity in all regions. The rest of this summary discusses these findings in more detail. The next section, section B, presents the stylized facts about the lagging states; and finally, section C summarizes the findings on the constraints they face in raising growth and development.

Book Synopsis India by : Arvind Panagariya
Download or read book India written by Arvind Panagariya. This book was released on 2008-03-03. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject of India's rapid growth in the past two decades has become a prominent focus in the public eye. A book that documents this unique and unprecedented surge, and addresses the issues raised by it, is sorely needed. Arvind Panagariya fills that gap with this sweeping, ambitious survey. India: The Emerging Giant comprehensively describes and analyzes India's economic development since its independence, as well as its prospects for the future. The author argues that India's growth experience since its independence is unique among developing countries and can be divided into four periods, each of which is marked by distinctive characteristics: the post-independence period, marked by liberal policies with regard to foreign trade and investment, the socialist period during which Indira Ghandi and her son blocked liberalization and industrial development, a period of stealthy liberalization, and the most recent, openly liberal period. Against this historical background, Panagariya addresses today's poverty and inequality, macroeconomic policies, microeconomic policies, and issues that bear upon India's previous growth experience and future growth prospects. These provide important insights and suggestions for reform that should change much of the current thinking on the current state of the Indian economy. India: The Emerging Giant will attract a wide variety of readers, including academic economists, policy makers, and research staff in national governments and international institutions. It should also serve as a core text in undergraduate and graduate courses that deal with Indias economic development and policies.
