In this 21st century, while our country stands at the cusp of high growth and major transformation, several challenges lie ahead – creating jobs for the burgeoning young population, reducing dependence on imports, switching to cleaner energy, meeting climate change targets and above all lifting millions more who are still trapped in deprivation and poverty. The core concepts and issues of utmost concern to the Indian economy are vividly explained in this book through a reader-friendly question and answer format in 14 chapters.
