Industrial Policy of India: Changing Facets

Development depends on industrialisation and industrialisation depends on industrial policy. The first industrial policy of the Government of India was announced in April1948. Subsequently Industrial policy resolutions 1956, 1980, 1990 and 1991 were announced. The book has evaluated the efficacy of different industrial policy resolutions in industrialisation/development of the nation in the background of unsatisfactory performance. The latest industrial policy resolution 1991 has been prepared under the frame work of globalisation and liberalisation. But the author has pointed out that rural industrialisation issue is completely missing from it. The book will be of interest of policy-makers, teachers and students of economics and all others who have interest in Indian economy.
