  • Planning and economic development in India.
  • An overview of Macro objectives (sectoral objectives not required) and major thrusts of the different five year plans in India
  • Structural Changes in the Indian Economy after liberalization:
  • Need, meaning, significance and features of liberalization, globalization and privatization of Indian Economy; disinvestment: meaning

Current challenges facing Indian Economy

  • Poverty – absolute and relative, main programmes for poverty alleviation: A critical assessment of PAPs (Poverty Alleviation Programmes); Rural development. Credit and marketing: role of cooperatives, agricultural diversification; alternate farming /organic farming: meaning and importance.

Sustainable Development

  • Effect of Economic Development on Resources and Environment.
  • Understanding the concept of Sustainable development; Need for sustainable development for improving the quality of life - looking at the deteriorating quality of air, water, food over time, developing an appreciation to sustain at least what exists for the generations to come.
