Liberalization And The Economic Growth

India has a highly dynamic and entrepreneurial business environment (Ford, 2011). The freedom of democracy in India supports the country’s private enterprise greatly. India’s characteristics of sovereignty could very well succeed China’s Communist led, authoritarian growth model (Schuman, 2012).

Globalization has been an integral part of India’s progress. It has opened up new avenues for growth.

After their independences, and de-centralization and re-centralization, Brazil and India have advanced from socialist-inspired policies. These systems were theoretically in favor because they were believed to hold the potential to lift the economy and consequently the people. Unfortunately, these socialist-inspired policies did just the opposite: the economic growth rates in both countries slowed, authority was incoherent, and foreign investment was discouraged. Upon liberation from these systems and entering into the globalization and the free market did these two countries started to thrive rapidly. Interestingly, both Brazil and India decided to stay away from globalization and the free market when the rest of the world was getting

1. Economic prosperity and the consequent increase in purchasing power have given a fillip to a consumer boom. Note that during the 10 years after 1992, India's economy grew at an average rate of 6.8 percent and continues to grow at the almost the same rate – not many countries in the world match this performance.

Economic growth is the most influential tool for decreasing poverty and refining the value of life in evolving countries. Both research and case studies over different countries provide overshadowing signs that speedy and continued growth is crucial to making faster progress towards the MDG (Millennium Development Goals) and not just the first goal of splitting the global share of people living on less than $1 a day.

Indian economy had witnessed many key policy changes in early 1990s. The new economic transformation, popularly known as, Liberalization, Privatization and Globalization (LPG model) meant for making the Indian economy as fastest rising economy and globally competitive. The chain of improvement undertaken related to industrial sector, trade as well as financial sector aimed at making the economy more efficient. With the inception of reforms to open the Indian economy in July of 1991, a new episode has been started for India and its billion plus population. This period of economic evolution has had a remarkable impact on the on the whole economic development of almost all key sectors of the economy, and its effects over the last decade can hardly

When India got independence in 1947, India inherited a shattered economy. The economy was completely damaged. This damage was largely done by the exploitative policies adopted by the

Opening up their economies to the global economy has been essential in enabling many developing countries to develop competitive advantages in the manufacture of certain products. In these countries, defined by the World Bank as the "new globalizers," the number of people in absolute poverty declined by over 120 million (14 percent) between 1993 and 1998.1

Firstly, the need for continued unilateral trade and investment liberalization with emphasis on regulatory reforms, much of inward FDI in India’s manufacturing sectors has been viewed as more of “market-seeking” rather than “efficiency-seeking” FDI that will help to link India with Asian IPNs. While the Indian economy becomes outward-oriented, the perception among trading partners of India as a preferred trade and investment partner needs to improve. It needs to deal with behind-the border restrictions on international trade and investment. Secondly, reducing transaction costs, and improving physical and institutional infrastructure for cross-border trade and investment. The high trade cost is due to export related documentation and high logistics cost from low quality infrastructures involving inefficient ports, complicated bureaucratic procedures and electricity outage. This creates unfavorable business environment. Upgrading of transportation infrastructure (road, railway, etc.) and communications technology services are needed to allow efficiency and reduction in cost. Third, addressing labor market rigidities, since manufacturing sector can provide large-scale employment, and be a key driver for structural change as India grows, it would help India integrate into Asian IPNs because it promotes growth through forward and backward linkages with other sectors, particularly the services sector which has contributed greatly to country’s growth. However, when there are rigidities, India is not able to shift its employment structure towards manufacturing even with its many low-cost skilled labors. Hence, it fails to make use of its human resources efficiently to compete in the international markets. Other than that, labor market rigidities cause “jobless growth” in organized manufacturing and thus the increasing use of contract and temporary workers. Therefore, there is a need for labor reform at national and state

The exposition of the IT is also a contributor towards this. The Gandhian morality of not showcasing your wealth no longer holds true when a certain business man in Mumbai builds a 27 storied building for a family of 5. The economic prowess of the nation is hence showcased by such successful entrepreneurs. The height of the positives of economic reforms took place when India can acheievd a growth rate of 9% in 2007 . Today India is known as among the 10 largest economies of the world.

On the 15th of August, 1947, India awoke to freedom and democracy, when the British passed on the controls of ‘the brightest jewel in the crown’ (as India was lovingly called) to the Indian people. The Indian subcontinent has been invaded since time immemorial for the riches the land held. It is often said that trading with India and conquering it was a great deal to the Europeans. For the British to reign the country for so long, which became dominant primarily after several wars and diplomatic issues in Indian as well as Europe, was a source of pride. It established them as superior to the Dutch, French and Portuguese. However, if India indeed is a country of such abundance, and has been a free country for so long, why is it still counted amongst low income countries? In this paper, I make an attempt to evaluate how India’s economic policies and growth have changed since independence.

The Impact on Economic Growth through the Process of the Financial Liberalization of Developing Countries

In India, the economic stability is challenged by the differentiating standards of poverty between the state and the citizen(s). The welfare policies implemented by the government programs have not and are not yet able to meet the standards that will be beneficial in producing a healthy society. The government of India and the citizens share different political ideologies concerning the economic infrastructure of their country. The state level of governance has not yet been capable of meeting the correct economic standards in the process of development in order to achieve a small gap between the poor and wealthy civilians entitled to their state. That in mind, the state level did not cause the mass poverty of India but has not yet found the factors to resolve the issue of inequality poverty within India.

Evolution of Development Policy and its Impact on Region Disparity in India since 1980: In Search of Convergence of Real Per Capita Incomes

With the onset of reforms to liberalize the Indian economy in July of 1991, a new chapter has dawned for India and her billion plus population. This period of economic transition has had a tremendous impact on the overall economic development of almost all major sectors of the economy, and its effects over the last decade
