This book is a detailed chronicle of India’s Growth story. The risks to the growth are many, some emanating from within the country; and many from the external environment, particularly when we are integrating with the global economy.

The book succinctly brings out how the pressure to comply with the expectations of the international investors and frequency of financial crisis have taken considerable policy attention at the cost of more fundamental problems of human poverty. It scrutinizes the performance of agriculture, manufacturing and service sectors from the perspective of inclusive growth and suggests pathways for a more just society.

Growth is a means to ensure human development and the authors have deftly analysed the various risks to India’s growth resurgence, and thus to human development. The essentials of good governance as means to ensure balanced, stable and equitable growth and human development have been lucidly presented.
