Navigating Change

This book provides a compact overview of India’s economic reforms in financial, trade and agricultural sectors, and the impact of these policies on India’s economy since 1991. Divided into three parts, Part ‘A’ of the volume deals with financial sector reforms, outlines different financial systems and their workings, with a detailed discussion on the trends and progress in India’s financial system. Part ‘B’ deals with trade policy reforms and provides a bird’s eye view of the developments in India’s external sector from 1950-2026. Part ‘C’ expounds on agricultural reforms and charts a status report on pre- and post-liberalization agriculture policies. The major reforms in the agricultural sector, including major schemes, their impact, progress, and prospects have been discussed at length. The book will be useful to the students, researchers and faculty members working in the fields of Economics, Development Studies, Political Science, Political Economy, and Public Administration. It would also be an invaluable companion to policy makers who seek to learn about the transition in the Indian economic landscape and the resulting policy changes since 1991.
