Description
“A thought provoking book with innovative reforms for creating economic awareness and building team spirit among Indians, particularly the young”. Author has charted a unique growth map for a complete turnaround of India. His emphasis is not only on problems pertaining to sensitive issues like black money, Inflation, Trade deficit, Subsidy and Inclusive growth but still more important on viable solutions.
Even critical issues like environment, energy, Transportation, Natural resources and taxation which are paramount to our economy has been deftly analysed. The book is a must reading for keen proponents of a resurgent India.
The main aim of Turn Around India is to create economic awareness among the masses, without which good economic policy cannot be framed. Even if framed, a policy encounters challenges during implementation. The next aim is to provide practical and viable options to help revitalize the Indian economy keeping public interest at the heart of the process.
The author believes that India possesses latent potential to achieve economic progress; yet growth reversal has started. According to him, ongoing activism and negative perception about economic activity is the principal reason for today’s debacle. This book could contribute towards building a positive atmosphere thereby help turn around the Indian economy. The prologue and editor’s observations are enclosed herewith to give you a fair idea about the book.
