Indian Economy Paper II – Sectoral Issues

Preamble:

Indian Economy will be covered through two core courses of two credits each, one each in the first two semesters. It has been found that many economics students are not well informed on issues of the Indian economy. It was thought that apart from integrating applications of theoretical tools to the Indian economy within other core papers and electives, wherever possible, there should be separate treatment of perspectives on and issues relating to the Indian economy. The two Indian Economy courses have hence been formulated with the objective of equipping the students to meaningfully participate in the debates regarding issues and concerns about the Indian economy. The approach adopted is to go from the macro to the sectoral aspects of the economy. The sectoral issues will be dealt with by teachers who are specialized in the respective sectors. Issues considered will be based on two or three readings identified by the teacher and communicated to the students at the beginning of Semester II.
