Assignment B

Case Detail:  
Consider the following case study and answer the following questions: Economists like S. S. Anklesaria Iyer (2002a; 2002b) welcome the rapid growth of services in the 1990s in his series of articles in The Times Economic. In his view, ‘as the industry-less growth is here to stay, our ability to compensate for industrial failure with services success is a strength, not a weakness’. On the other hand, scholars like Acharya (2002a; 2002c) have been skeptical of the idea of services-led growth. In his words,‘…India’s services sector can’t enjoy fast and sustained growth. It can,
but only in tandem with a fast growing industrial sector…Services cannot, by themselves, assure rapid and sustained growth of the Indian economy.’
The dominance of service sector ahead of industry with the decline of agriculture has given rise to various debates surrounding the sequence of the growth process particularly when industry or manufacturing is yet to achieve adequate growth. These debates particularly stemmed out of the inability of the service sector to generate appropriate employment even after its staggering growth figures. Even though the share of Indian services in total GDP has been rising and that of agriculture has been declining, agriculture sector still continues to employ over 40 percent of the Indian population while the service sector only generates employment for around 23.5 percent. This observed imbalance between employment and sequence of growth in services has been an added concern in the Indian growth process (Madheswaran and Dharmadhikary, 2000). Even though there is no clear answer to the question of sustainability, there seems to be a somewhat consensus among economists around the potential of the service sector to act as an engine of growth for the Indian economy.

1.    At the time of independence Indian economy was an agrarian economy. Do you agree with this statement? Explain the basic features of the Indian Agricultural economy post 1947.

2.    What do you think about the sustainability argument of the service led growth that is being registered by the Indian economy till date. Give reasons to support your answer.

3.    What policy measures should the Indian government now take to put India back on the growth path and simultaneously deal with its macro-economic problems? Solved by www.solvezone.in
