Notes on Perspective of Development India: 1960-61 To 1975-76

Abstract

The purpose of these Notes and the rather formidable volume of statistical materials included in the Appendices is to present a quantitative frame-work of India’s development in the 15 year period 1960-61 to 1975-76. the attempt is to identify the essential elements of the problem and to bring out the interdependence of the different sectors in sufficient detail to provide a clearer understanding of the possible obstacle to the growth of the economy. Aggregative analysis dealing only with macro magnitudes are useful to check the general consistency of a detailed plan. But the key problems and bottlenecks are revealed only when detailed analysis at a micro-level is attempted.
