India has pursued gradual economic reforms since independence in 1947 to develop its economy. Reforms in the early decades focused on self-sufficiency and developing infrastructure and agriculture through public sector investment and five-year plans. Liberalization began in the 1980s under Rajiv Gandhi and accelerated in 1991 when Manmohan Singh initiated reforms encouraging foreign investment, privatizing public sectors, and developing services. While India was impacted by the global recession, it was able to withstand effects better than others due to government regulation of some financial sectors. Current reforms aim to further strengthen banking and exports.Liberalization, growth and regional disparities in india

The document discusses the impact of economic reforms in India in 1991 on the agricultural sector. It notes that prior to 1991, agriculture was the largest employer in India and the government provided subsidies and protection. The economic crisis of 1990 led to reforms involving liberalization, privatization, and globalization (LPG policies). This affected the agricultural sector through reduced subsidies, spending on rural development and infrastructure, financial reforms limiting rural credit, and trade liberalization. While the reforms aimed to boost agriculture, the sector actually saw declining growth rates, investment, and terms of trade. Rural incomes and food security were adversely impacted. Overall, the reforms exposed farmers to greater risks while reducing government support.Indian economy pre-1991 reforms with globalization

This document provides an overview of industrial policy in India from 1950 to the present. It discusses how India was one of the first developing countries to implement an industrial policy after World War II to coordinate public and private investment and bring strategic industries under public ownership. This model held sway from 1950-1980 but began eroding in the 1980s and changed fundamentally after an economic crisis in 1991. However, the document argues industrial policy has continued in a different form and still faces challenges in achieving equitable and sustainable growth while leveraging opportunities in areas like information and communication technology. It examines the historical models, economic growth trends, role of services, and implications for future industrial policy approaches in India.Five year-plans-of-india

Agriculture before the Green Revolution was limited by lack of irrigation and technology, resulting in low and unpredictable crop yields. This caused global concerns about the ability to feed growing populations. After independence, India established agricultural institutions and saw some improvements but productivity remained low. The Green Revolution starting in the 1960s introduced high-yielding varieties of wheat and rice, irrigation projects, and chemical fertilizers, doubling food production in India and alleviating famine concerns.

- Even after 55 years of planned development and 9 Five-Year Plans, India has failed to solve basic economic problems like poverty and unemployment. Poverty has increased and the benefits of development have mostly gone to affluent sections.
- Gandhi advocated for a rural-based, agriculture-focused model of development to uplift rural populations, but this was not implemented. Instead, Nehru adopted a Western model of heavy industrialization through centralized planning.
- While the goals of early plans were to reduce poverty and establish a socialist society, the benefits have not reached poorer sections. Later poverty programs were poorly designed and funds were misused, providing only acknowledgement but not solutions for the poor.causes of poverty in India

1. Poverty in India has many causes stemming from British colonial rule, including deindustrialization which led many artisans to abandon their professions and take up agriculture, increasing pressure on land.
2. The British policy of permanent land settlements and revenue collection impoverished peasants by creating absentee landlords with no incentive to invest in agriculture while peasants had to pay high rents, taxes, and interest to moneylenders.
3. Commercialization of agriculture in the late 1800s linked Indian farmers to volatile international markets, and they saw few benefits while facing risks of falling prices and debt.Thegreenrevolutioninindia 090420180040-phpapp01

The Green Revolution in India introduced new high-yielding crop varieties that required significant chemical inputs to increase agricultural yields, but had unforeseen social, political, and environmental consequences. While yields initially increased dramatically, production plateaued and then declined as soils lost nutrients. Dependence on external inputs impoverished small farmers and degraded the land. Rising economic and cultural tensions, combined with rural inequality, exacerbated ethnic and religious divisions and even sparked violent unrest in Punjab. The revolution changed relationships between farmers and the environment in ways that had wide-ranging political impacts.EDSA Revolution and Democracy - the Youth and Students in Focus [uploadable]....

TCS to set up IT facility housing 10k employees in Vizag: Nara Lokesh
In a major boost to Andhra Pradeshs burgeoning IT sector, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), one of Indias leading IT services and consulting companies, is set to establish a new facility in Visakhapatnam (Vizag), which will accommodate up to 10,000 employees. The announcement was made by Nara Lokesh, the former Minister of Information Technology for Andhra Pradesh, who has been instrumental in driving the states IT growth in recent years. This development marks a significant milestone for the city of Vizag, further positioning it as a key player in Indias IT ecosystem.
For TCS, setting up a facility in Vizag is a strategic move aligned with its ongoing expansion plans in Tier-II cities. Vizag, often called the "City of Destiny," has emerged as a prime destination for IT companies due to its favorable infrastructure, connectivity, and skilled talent pool. With TCS expanding into this coastal city, the company aims to leverage these advantages, enhance its operational efficiencies, and tap into a less saturated but equally capable workforce compared to Tier-I cities like Bengaluru and Hyderabad. Moreover, Vizag offers a cost advantage over larger cities, making it an attractive location for companies looking to optimize expenses while ensuring access to top-tier talent. This development also supports TCSs broader goals of decentralizing its operations across India, which not only reduces dependency on major IT hubs but also contributes to the holistic growth of the nations digital infrastructure. Nara Lokesh highlighted the project as a significant step toward transforming Vizag into a leading IT hub. The proposed facility will generate employment for thousands of skilled professionals in the region, offering opportunities in software development, digital consulting, data analytics, and other high-demand IT services. Its capacity of 10,000 employees is evidence of the scale of the operation which will provide a major boost to the local economy. The job creation that comes with the TCS facility will benefit IT professionals and have a ripple effect on other sectors such as real estate, retail, and services. The influx of workers is expected to drive demand for housing, transportation, and other amenities, further spurring economic growth in the region. Vizags rise as an IT hub is part of a broader effort by the Andhra Pradesh government to attract global and domestic IT giants to invest in the state. The TDP government has been offering various incentives, such as land allocations, subsidies, and infrastructure support, to encourage companies to set up shop in the region. The city already hosts several IT parks and Special Economic Zones (SEZs), and TCSs arrival will only strengthen its position on the national IT map. Furthermore, Vizags proximity to educational institutions such as Andhra University provides a steady stream of qualified graduates, making it an idealHOW TO ELIMINATE THE EVILS AGAINST HUMANITY CAUSED BY CAPITALISM THROUGHOUT H...

This article aims to present how to eliminate the evils against humanity caused by capitalism by contributing to: 1) the devastation of nature that causes pandemics to proliferate and affect the health of the world's population; 2) global warming and catastrophic global climate change since the Industrial Revolution in England that affect the health and living conditions of the world's population; 3) the proliferation of wars and even the possibility of the outbreak of World War III that could lead to the extinction of humanity and life on Earth; 4) making the world economy chaotic and compromising the social well-being of humanity; and, 5) the advance of neo-fascism in the world. To eliminate the evils caused by capitalism, it is necessary to build in each country the Welfare State along the lines of the Scandinavian model of social democracy as a transition to democratic socialism and establish, on a global level, a global democratic Government, a global Parliament and a global Supreme Court.Connecting the Indian Community Abroad New India Abroad

- 6. The Nationalization Of Banks In 1969 油After independence the Government of India (GOI) adopted planned economic development for the country (India). Accordingly, five year plans came into existence since 1951. This economic planning basically aimed at social ownership of the means of production. However, commercial banks were in the private sector those days. In 1950-51 there were 430 commercial banks. The Government of India had some social objectives of planning. These commercial banks failed helping the government in attaining these objectives. Thus, the government decided to nationalize 14 major commercial banks on 19th July, 1969. All commercial banks with a deposit base over Rs.50 crores were nationalized. It was considered that banks were controlled by business houses and thus failed in catering to the credit needs of poor sections such as cottage industry, village industry, farmers, craft men, etc. The second dose of nationalisation came in April 1980 when banks were nationalized.

- 9. The Software Revolution of 90s The free software movement was launched in 1983, but there existed earlier projects which fit (or almost fit) the modern definition of free software, that is, software which all users are free to use, study, modify and redistribute ("free as in freedom"). Earlier projects provided these freedoms either for practical reasons or social reasons but were not part of an organized movement to spread the practice or the philosophy. The movement was launched by Richard Stallman as a reaction to the growing trend of developers blocking these freedoms by only publishing the run able version of the software and not the modifiable source code. Stallman argues that this is a social imperative for all distributed software, rather than a technical choice which just happens to have a practical value in some contexts. In 1998, people who advocated free software but disagreed that it was a social imperative began using the term "open-source software" for the software and presenting it as having technical advantages. It includes:- Sharing Techniques Before Software Free Software Before the 1980s Initial Decline of Free Software Conditions Between 1980s 1990s Launch of Free Software Movement
