The theme of this book is to appraise the role of planning to maximize the rate of economic growth, & improve the standards of living & quality of life of the people in India since Independence. The book addresses four core areas. First, it delves into the circumstances which led to the adoption of planning & presents an analysis of the economic scenario that unfolded in the decades between 1951 & 2011, documenting shifts in growth & development strategy. Second, it explores the rate & pattern of economic growth, & traces reasons behind the shortfall in growth rate from the target. Third, the book contextualizes the backdrop against which economic reform measures were introduced to understand how different areas & sectors of the economy were integrated with the reform process. Fourth, it analyses the transition from growth measures pursued until the 1970s, to a mix of growth & redistribution from the 1980s, & then to inclusive growth in the 2000s.
