Description: Industrialisation for Employment and Growth in India by R. Nagaraj Based on intensive filed-work based research of MSMEs, it attempts to answer the questions of how to create manufacturing jobs and growth in India, how to accomplish Make in India objectives, and how to re-industrialise India, reduce import dependence and achieve self-reliance. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description India initiated liberal economic reforms in 1991 to transform a slow-growing, state-led economy into an open, export-oriented industrialising economy. Though economic growth has accelerated, industrialisation has suffered from the manufacturing sectors share and labour intensive sectors failing to improve in Indias exports. The government launched the Make in India initiative in 2015 aimed at raising the manufacturing sectors share in GDP to 25 percent, and to create an additional 100 million jobs by 2022. Though official estimates show an optimistic image of small scale industries, they do not explain why India failed to boost industrial production as expected of the reforms. Why did they fail to keep the domestic market, let alone expand exports? What would it take to meet the ambitious policy goals of the initiative? This book attempts to address these questions. It looks at a series of case studies of the small industry to obtain an in-depth understanding of specific industries and locations to draw meaningful conclusions. Author Biography R. Nagaraj is retired Professor of Economics at the Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research, Bombay. He has worked extensively on Indias economic growth and industrialization, public sector performance and industrial labour market. He coedited Political Economy of Contemporary India with S. Motiram that was published by the Press in 2017. Table of Contents 1. Introduction R Nagaraj; 2.
