Indian Economy: Performance & Policies (For University Of Delhi)

This is the second edition of Indian Economy: Performance and Policies. The earlier edition of the book has received very encouraging response from the students. It is indeed very encouraging for the authors. They express their thanks to students.

The basic purpose and design of the book remains the same. In addition, the present edition of the book has thoroughly been revised and updated. The Twelfth Five Year Plan objectives, policies, approaches and data have appropriately been incorporated at suitable places.

The book is specifically designed to meet the course requirement of the paper on Indian Economy (Semester IV): Indian Economy—Performance and Policies for the students of BCom (Hons.) at the University of Delhi.
