1 Decline of Handicraft Industries: During colonial rule, the Britishers systematically destroyed the Indian handicraft
industries and forced the people to indulge into agriculture sector. The basic motive of British rule behind this de-
industrialization was 2- fold
o To convert India into a supplier of raw material for the industries of Britain
o To develop India as a market of British manufactured goods.
Foreign trade

Since ancient period, India has been an important trading nation. India was well known exporter of finished goods like silk, fine
cotton, textiles, ivory work, handicrafts, precious stones etc. but the discriminatory trade and tariff policies of Britishers brought
it to an end.
3. Economic exploitation:
Due to the exporter of raw material, India has a huge export surplus. But the amount of export surplus does not give any push to
Indian economy as the amount of surplus is used by the government in non developing activities, such as:
o To meet expenses of war fought by the British government.
o To make payment of office setup of colonial government.
o To make trade of invisible items (services).
Suez Canal
It is an artificial waterway running from north to south across the Isthmus of Suez in north - eastern Egypt.
The opening of canal reduced the transportation cost as now there is no need to sail around Africa

During colonial period, India faced the condition of extensive poverty, per capita consumption was very low. The overall
standard of living of common people of India was very low.
Occupational Structure
It refers to the distribution of working persons across different industries and sectors
1. Predominance of Agriculture
As colonial government aims at making India as an exporter of raw material, as a result about 72.7% of working population was
engaged in agriculture
As the income generation rate of agriculture sector is very low, this predominance reflects backwardness of the economy.
2. Unbalanced growth:-
Growth of an economy is said to be balanced when all the 3 sectors are equally developed but in case of Indian economy, only
primary sector is the main source of employment, whereas secondary and tertiary sector were in their infant stage of growth.
Infrastructure
It refers to the basic physical and organisational structure and facilities (Buildings, roads, power supplies etc) needed for the
operation of an economy.
The state of infrastructure was very poor during colonial period, although some efforts were taken by the British government to
improve the condition of infrastructure in the economy (railways, ports, post and telegrams, roads etc) so that it can serve
economics benefits to them.
The condition of infrastructure was explained here:-
1. Railways:
One of the biggest contributions of colonial rule was the introduction of railways in India in 1850. It helps to remove
geographical and cultural barriers in the economy. Although the benefits of railways was mostly restricted to Britishers during
colonial period but it also helps in developing the Indian economy post colonial period.
2. Roads:-
The construction of roads during colonial rule was very limited (due to scarcity of funds) The roads that were built, primarily
served the interests of mobilising the army and shifting of raw materials so that they can be transported to Britain via ports.

The colonial government took various measures for developing the ports and air transport.
But the development was far from satisfactory measure of development
4. Communication:-
During colonial period, Posts and telegraphs were the most popular means of communication. The system of electric telegraph
was introduced at a high cost to serve the purpose of maintaining law and order.
Despite serving a useful public purpose, the postal service remained all through inadequate
1. Introduction of railways:
The first and the most efficient contribution was the introduction of railways in India.
Britishers introduced railways so that they can transport their products and the raw materials easily from one place to another
but in post colonial period railways turned out to be the key factor for the economy
2. Commercialization of agriculture:-
Under pre- colonial period, farmers grow crops just to sustain themselves and other people of the village. But forced
commercialization of agriculture under colonial rule brings new opportunities for farmers in the market

And if CIT is selected then the production goes up lacking behind the employment opportunities which results the introduction
of problem of unemployment and poverty.
Whom to produce:
It is related to the distribution of national product in the economy.
Under this distribution of output depends upon the ownership of the property.
The one who owes more gets more share of output in the economy than the one who has less amount of property
.
The reasons due to which a country faces economic problems are as follows:
1. Unlimited Wants
2. Limited resources (scarce resources)
3. Alternative use
1. Unlimited wants:-
Human wants are unlimited regardless to the nature of available resources, if one of his want gets satisfied than another want
crops up.
Example:-if a teenager wants a mobile phone for convenience and if his parents provided him so. Then his wants doesn't
restricts after that, One of his new wants comes upon, such as regular recharges, new bike; new laptop etc.
2. Limited Resources:-
o In order to fulfil unlimited wants of human, the resources are limited.
o That is the resources are scarce in relation to our wants, so we should get best out of what we have.
3. Alternative use:-
The scarce resources are used alternatively and hence it becomes important to decide the allocation/distribution of resources
effectively and efficiently.
General example:- the salary of an individual is to used in different sectors such as home expenses, medicine, instalment of
house, child fee and so on hence it should be carefully decided how much resource should be devoted for each purpose in order
to get maximum possible benefit.
Standard example: - Coal, petroleum etc.

Types of Economies
Market economy/Capital Economy:-
It is a type of economy in which the total allocation of resources is made by private sector or businessman for producing goods
and services. As they are basically guided for making profit hence the central problem of the economy will not solved by the
market economy.
Under such economy, the prices of the product are determined by the demand and supply of goods and services, government
does not play any role to control market economy.
Mixed economy:-
It is a type of economy in which both private and public sector are participating in productive activities. The allocation of
resources is made by the government for removing the central problem of economy with the help of private sector. Hence is
guided for maximizing their profit with social welfare.
After independence, Jawaharlal Nehru and other leaders decided to adopt 'Mixed economy'
Economic Planning
According to planning commission of India, "Economic planning refers to the utilization of country's resources in different
development activities in accordance to the national priorities."

It refers to the goals that are to be achieved in a specific plan (plan-specific goals)
It differ according to the need and requirement of the economy
Main Objectives of Five year plans are as follows (GEMS)
1. Economic Growth
During colonial period Indian economy was stagnant in nature so the first and foremost objective of economic planning is
economic growth.
Economic growth refers to the increase in productive capacity of the economy.
The basic criterion of measuring economic growth is the change in level of GDP (Gross domestic product).
2. Equity
It is important to ensure that the benefits of economic growth should reach the poor sections of society , so that it will reduce
the unequal distribution of income and wealth.
3. Modernization:-
It refers to both adoption of modern technology in the process of growth and also put changes in social outlook and ancient
meaningless rituals. For example- girls were not allowed to take education, child marriage etc
4. Self-reliance
It refers to more and more dependence on domestic goods rather than importing from rest of the world.
The concept of self- reliance emphasis on avoiding imports of such goods and services which can be produced domestically.
Promoting domestic production and industries will give rise to economic growth and prosperity in the economy.
They are those objectives which vary from plan to plan according to the need and requirement of the economy
EXAMPLE
1" plan (1951-1956)
Increase in agricultural production
Equitable distribution of production, income and wealth
2' plan (1956-1961)
Increase in industrial production
Development of heavy industries
7* plan (1985-1990)
Generation of employment opportunity
Increase in agriculture productivity

India is an agricultural based economy; nearly 72% of working population is engaged in agriculture (on eve of independence).
The importance of agriculture sector in Indian economy is as follows:
1. Contribution to GDP:-
Agriculture sector contributes a significant share in the GDP of the economy. However, the time passes the contribution of
agriculture in GDP declines, in spite that agriculture plays a dominant role in economy GDP (15% in 2014-15).
2. Supply of food grains:-
India is one of those countries which is self sufficient in food grains.
Indian agriculture sector is capable enough to meet almost the entire food requirement, the population.
3. Source of employment:-
As stated earlier, India is an agriculture based economy so the main source of employment for the population comes from
agriculture sector.
According to the survey of 2013, nearly 47 percent of working population is engaged agriculture sector.
4. Supply of raw materials:-
Besides food grains production, agriculture sector also provides industrial raw material of cotton for textile, seeds for oil,
sugarcane for sugar mills.
5. Share of exports
Due to the prime exporter of raw material, agriculture sector plays an important role as an earner of foreign exchange through
export of commodities like tea, cotton, jute, coffee etc.
6. Source of revenue
The government generates revenue from agriculture sector through land revenue and other taxes on the commodities
produced.
7. Market for industrial sector
Due to higher dependence of population on agriculture, the demand for industrial product use in agriculture is also high
(Products like fertilizers, tractors, pesticides etc).

After analyzing the problems of Indian agriculture, the next step is to cure them.
The government of India has taken a series of reforms for the development of agriculture sector in the economy. These reform
measures are popularly known as Agrarian reforms.
A) Land Reforms (Institutional reforms)
It refers to change in the ownership of landholdings.
Land reforms basically focused upon the objective of equity in agriculture
1. Abolition of intermediaries-
o The first and the most important action taken by the government is the removal of intermediaries (Zamindars). As
stated in the previous chapter, the colonial government appoints zamindars, who were the nominal head of the land
and they collect land revenue from the tillers without making any initiative to improve the land.
o The basic idea behind this step was that ownership of land would give incentives to the actual tillers to make
improvements.
o This policy brought 200 lakh tenants into direct contact with the government.

Page 14
By: SACHIN SINGH
o Also; this ownership right gives them the incentive the increase output (there is no zamindar in between who takes
their share of profit ) and this contributed to growth in agriculture.
2. Ceiling on land holding (land ceiling )
o It refers to fixing the maximum amount of land, which could be owned by the individual.
o In order to promote equity in the agriculture sector, the government specified the maximum limit of land that any
individual can hold. Any excess land beyond that limit would be taken over by the government and will be allotted to
the landless cultivators and small farmers,
3. Consolidation of holdings
o It refers to a practice to allot land to the farmer at one place as a replacement for his scattered holdings here and there.
Moreover, Small and scattered land is now converted into a big piece of land so that modern and innovative technology
can be applied which will increase the productivity.
4. Cooperative farming
o Joint farming by small cultivators by pooling their land and other resources to enjoy the benefits of large scale farming
is known as cooperative farming.
o Together farmers can buy inputs at a lower price and sell their products at a higher cost.
B) General reforms

Cooperative marketing societies are also established to increase the bargaining power of farmers in the market. They ensure
that farmers output is graded and sold only when acceptable price is available.
Storage and warehousing facilities have been expanded to build up adequate buffer stocks.
Green Revolution refers to sudden and spectacular increase in agriculture productivity due to the use of high yielding variety of
seeds.
After independence, although around 72% of population was engaged in agriculture sector, but the level of productivity was
very low.
The government initiated many technological measures, this continuous and intensive efforts breaks the stagnancy in agriculture
sector which was regarded as green revolution.
It includes:-
1- Use of High yielding variety of seeds
2-Use of Chemical Fertilizers
3- Use of pesticides for crop protection
4- Scientific crop Rotation
5-Modernized means of cultivation
Achievements of Green Revolution
• Increase in production
The basic and the fundamental achievement of green revolution is a massive increase in production and productivity of food
grains in the economy.
It increases from 82 million tons in 1960-61 to 176 million tons in 1990-91
• Increase in national income
The economic condition automatically increases with the increase in production and level of productivity of food grains in the
economy.
• Increase in Marketable surplus
It refers to the portion of agriculture production which is sold in the market by the farmers after self consumption.
Due to increase in the level of productivity, higher amount of food grains can be produce on the same amount of land, due to
which farmers can now sell their food grains in the market even after self consumption
• Benefit to low income groups
Due to availability of large amount of food grains in the market, their price declines a comparison to other items of
consumption. The low income group who spend large proportion of their income on food, benefited from this decline in relative
price.
• Change in farmer’s outlook

Page 16
By: SACHIN SINGH
Due to increase in production and productivity the outlook of farmers towards agriculture is now changed. Farming is no longer
viewed as a source of subsistence, it is considered as commercial venture as well.
• Buffer stock of food grains
The green revolution enabled the government to procure sufficient amount of food grains to build a stock which could be used
in times of food shortage in the market.
Failure of green Revolution:-
• Limited crops only
Sudden rise in output due to green revolution mainly restricted to the production of food grains only (wheat and rice). There is
no such increment in the production other crops like pulses, jute, cotton etc.
• Uneven benefits
The concept of using HYV seeds and modern technology comes with huge investment, whereas the majority of farmers in India
are small and marginal. The gains of green revolution mainly attracted towards big farmers only. It ultimately leads to increase in
income inequality between small and big farmers.
• Soil degradation
Intensive use of Pesticides and chemical fertilizers has negative effect on land.
Production of wheat and rice requires huge amount of water, fertilizers and pesticides which results in alarming rate of
groundwater depletion and soil degradation
•Uneven spread
The concept of green revolution is not spread over the whole country, only few states like Punjab, Haryana, Tamilnadu and
Andhra Pradesh had made a great impact.
While the impact on other states was relatively insignificance
Industrial Reforms
In the context of growth and development of a country, industrial sector always plays a dominant role. In the economy like
India, The growth of industrial sector is necessary for the economic and monetary prosperity of country.
Industrial sector provides
o More stable source of employment
o Promotes modernization
o Increases national income
o Boost the growth potential of an economy
o Increases the amount of exports
o Helps to modernize agriculture
At the time of independence, the industrial sector was in the immature stage, only few industries represent the whole sector.
So, the government of India decides to put attention on the development of this sector.

3. Industrial concession
Incentives like tax rebate and subsidized rate of power supply were offered to private entrepreneurs for establishing industries
in backward and rural areas of the country.
The basic motive behind this policy is to encourage equality in income.

1. Tariff
It refers to the taxes levied on imported goods. The goods can be imported in India after paying heavy amount of taxes on such
goods; imposition of tax increases the price of such goods which automatically reduces its demand in the market.
2. Quota
It refers to the government imposed trade restriction that limits the number or monetary value.
:: Things to remember::
Impact of import substitution
o Saves foreign exchange
o Creates protected market for domestic producers
o Build industrial sector
o Increases demand of domestic products
Bad impacts of import substitution
o Restricts growth
o Reduces efficiency of domestic producers
o Creates local monopoly ( due to no other alternative)
o Low competition implies lack of development and modernization

Chapter 3
Economic Reforms are the long term dynamic combination of policies and programme for the speedy growth,
efficiency in production and make a competitive environment.
Economic reforms were adopted by Indian government in 1991
Q) Why government of India announced new economic policy in 1991?
Or
What is the need of adopting economic reform in India in 1991?
Ans - Before 1991, the condition of Indian economy was in a state of crises. The economy was nearly in the condition
of getting collapse.
Factors responsible for economic reform
• Fall in foreign exchange reserve
Due to the process of industrialization the imports of the economy grew much faster than the amount of exports.
Increase in imports reduces the foreign exchange reserve of the economy.
• Failure of Public sector
One of the most important factors which led to the economic reforms is the low rate of development of public sector
undertakings. The low rate of development causes massive poverty and unemployment in the economy.
• High fiscal deficit
Fiscal deficit refers to borrowing by the government on account of the excess of it of expenditure over revenue during
a year.
It was estimated to be 5.4% of GDP in 1981-82 and increases to 8.4% of GDP in 1990-91 .
It represents the poor financial condition of the economy.

Due to slow growth of exports and huge increment in imports the balance of payment our economy remains in deficit
(Foreign payments > Foreign receipts)
Rate of inflation also increases
In order to eliminate the situation of crises from Indian economy, Prime Minister P.V. Narsimharoa along with the
finance minister Dr. Manmohan Singh introduced the new economic policy in 1991.
NEP elements
1. Liberalization
2. Privatization
3. Globalization
The set of policies introduced by the government is placed under 2 different groups (popularly known as measures of
new economic policy)
• Stabilization measures
It refers to short time policies/measures which aim at correcting the deficit in balance of payment and controlling the
inflation
• Structural reform measures
It refers to long term measures aims at improving the efficiency of economy and increasing the international
competitiveness
Elements of New Economic Policy
1. Liberalization
The removal of entry and growth restrictions on private sector enterprises or the removal of trade barriers is known as
liberalization.
Before 1991, government imposed many restrictions on private enterprises which restricts them to take risk or to get
indulge in a big project.
According to the policy of 19991, the government tries to remove such barriers so that the private sector of the
economy shall grow
In order to get liberalized, government introduced
i. Industrial sector reform
ii. Financial sector reform
iii. Fiscal Reform
iv. Foreign exchange reform
v. Trade and investment policy reforms

The new economic policy abolished the requirement of licensing except for the follow; five industries, i.e. liquor,
cigarette, defence equipments, industrial explosives and dangerous chemicals.
• Decreasing the role of public sector
The number of industries reserved for public sector is now reduced from 17 to 3 I.e. defence equipments, atomic
energy generations and railways.
• Making MRTP act (Monopoly restrictive trade practice act, 1970) more liberal
Now big industrialist are no longer required to seek prior government approval I expansion and establishment of new
industries
Tax:-
It is the compulsory payment made by the citizen of a country to the government without receiving any direct benefit in
return.
Taxes are of 2 types:-
1. Direct tax:-
They are those taxes that are imposed on property and income of an individual or a company, and are paid directly by
them to the government.
Example:-Income tax, Corporate tax, wealth tax etc.
2. Indirect tax:-

2. Privatization
Transfer of ownership right, from public sector undertaking to private sector undertaking in known as privatisation.
• Contraction of public sector
According to this policy, the private sector is no longer restricted to entry in any industry (except atomic power,
railways and defence).
• Government companies have been sold by the central government to private capitalist which were incurring losses in
1991.
• Privatization of public sector undertaking (PSU) by selling off part of equity to the public (this process in known as
disinvestment)
• The government has also attempt to improves the efficiency of few PSUs by giving them additional power and
freedom to enter joint venture, raise debts etc.
The government has listed 9 public sector undertaking with the name of ' Navratna Companies'.
"NAVRATANAS"
INDIAN OIL
BHARAT PETROLEUM
ONGC
SAIL
HINDUSTAN PETROLEUM
BHEL
IPCL
VIDESH SANCHAR NIGAM LTD.
NTPC
3. Globalization
The integration of domestic economy with world economy is known as globalization in other words, it may be defined
as a process associated with increasing openness, growing economic interdependence and deepening economic
integration in the world economy.

• Reduction in tariff
The amount of tax imposed on import of goods is also reduced upto the maximum possible limit. So that international
competition and technological upgradation can be enjoyed.
• Removal of quantitative restrictions
The quota system was abolished by the government of India to promote trade upto the maximum limit)
India being the member country of World trade organization (WTO) since April 2001, totally removed the quantitative
restrictions on foreign trade
• Partial convertibility of rupee
It refers to a system wherein the currency is allowed to determine its own exchange rate in the international market on
the basis of demand and supply (without any direct official intervention)
The convertibility of rupee attracts the foreign investors to invest in India
• Outsourcing
This is one of the most important outcomes of globalization. Under this, a company hires regular services from
external sources (mostly from other countries) which were previously done internally. The low wage rates, availability
of skilled manpower and existence of Special economic zones have made it a destination for global outsourcing in the
post reform period. The main services which are outsources from India by developing countries are call centres, film
editing, music recording, record keeping etc
Special economic zones (SEZs)
• It is an economic zone which was established by the government of India for industrial development.
In such zones various facilities were provided by the government -
o Cheap raw materials
o Infrastructural facilities
o Five year tax free plan
o Flexibility in labour laws

o Due to the removal of export duty, the exports of India started to increase
o Neglected agriculture sector as the new economic policy has special emphasizes on industrial and IT sector
Security of job has been decreased because of entry of FDI and multinational companies.
o Small scale and cottage industries has declined because of increase in competition due to globalization
the metropolitan cities are developed with lacking behind the development of rural areas.
o The disinvestment policy was also not favourable for domestic investor.
o Leads to unbalanced growth between the sectors.
o Spread of consumerism (the promotion of the interests of consumers) .
The new policy has been encouraging a dangerous trend of consumerism by encouraging the production of luxuries
and items of superior consumption.
