Economic Growth in India and its Many Dimensions

 
Arup Mitra (Author)
Synopsis

India has posted a high growth rate since liberalisation in the 1990s. But, what does this number called growth rate mean?

Has there been uniform growth in all sectors

Has there been overall growth across all regions of the country?

Have all social groups of people (such as the socio-economically backward, the elderly) been benefitted by this growth?

Why is poverty still present to such a huge extent in India?

To answer these questions and to discuss the challenges facing us today we need to look at growth and understand its many dimensions. This collection of essays looks at growth along three dimensions:

1. Measurement and methodology (Section 1): Essays on the current statistical system and various econometric models

2. Issues across the various sectors (Section 2): Essays on the performance of manufacturing sector, services sector and food procssing sector

3. Inclusivity of growth (Section 3): Essays analysing wage rates, health indicators, development in the North East states and status of elderly in the country.
