INDUCTION MATERIAL GOVERNMENT OF INDIA MINISTRY OF FINANCE DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC AFFAIRS 2013 (Eleventh Edition: 11th September, 2013) Preface to the 11th Edition The Department of Pension and Administrative Reforms had issued instructions in 1978 that each Ministry/Department should prepare an Induction Material setting out the aims and objects of the Department, detailed functions of the various divisions and their inter-relationship which would be useful for the officers of the Ministry/Department particularly the new entrants. In pursuance to this, Department of Economic Affairs has been bringing out ‘Induction Material’ since 1981. The present Edition is Eleventh in the series. 2. Department of Economic Affairs is the nodal agency of the Government of India for formulation of economic policies and programmes. In the present day context of global economic slowdown, the role of the Department of Economic Affairs has assumed a special significance. An attempt has been made to delineate the activities of the Department in a manner that would help the reader accurately appreciate its role. 3. The Induction Material sets out to unfold the working of the Department up to the level of the Primary Functional Units, i.e. Sections. All members of the team should find it useful to identify those concerned with any particular item of work right upto the level of Section Officer. The other Ministries and Departments will also find it useful in identifying the division or the officer to whom the papers are to be addressed. 4. I hope that all users will find this edition of Induction Material a handy and useful guide to the functioning of the Department of Economic Affairs. Any suggestions from any corner for further improvement will be welcomed.

    1 AS INTRODUCED IN LOK SABHA Bill No. 76 of 2010 THE CONSTITUTION (AMENDMENT) BILL, 2010 By SHRI SATPAL MAHARAJ, M.P. A BILL further to amend the Constitution of India. BE it enacted by Parliament in the Sixty-first Year of the Republic of India as follows:— 1. This Act may be called the Constitution (Amendment) Act, 2010. Short title. 2. In the Eighth Schedule to the Constitution,— Amendment of the Eighth (i) entries 5 to 9 shall be renumbered as entries 6 to 10, respectively, and before Schedule. 5 entry 6 as so renumbered, the following entry shall be inserted, namely:— “5. Garhwali.”; (ii) after entry 10 as so renumbered, the following entry shall be inserted, namely:— “11. Kumaoni.”; and 10 (iii) existing entries 10 to 22 shall be renumbered as entries 12 to 24, respectively. STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS The Eighth Schedule to the Constitution recognizes twenty-two languages as national languages of India being spoken and written by the citizens. It is believed that education, culture and intellectual pursuits get created and develop around these languages. But it is unfortunate that languages like Garhwali and Kumaoni spoken and written by millions of people having distinct culture have not yet been included in the Eighth Schedule. The Garhwali language is being spoken since ancient times in the Kedarkhand region of Central Himalaya. However, when exactly the people started using this language in writings can be correctly answered by linguistics only. Prior to 13th century, when the Hindi language was not in existence, the official work of the State of Garhwal, spreading from Saharanpur to Himachal, was being done in Garhwali language.

    Desai Nitin, Planning in a Liberalised Economy in Policy-Making for Indian Planning, ed. Sameer Kochar, Skoch Foundation, New Delhi, 2012 Planning in a Liberalised Economy NITIN DESAI Montek S. Ahluwalia has been at the centre of policymaking in India for over three decades now. He came to the Government of India from the World Bank where he had worked closely with Hollis Chenery and specialised in matters relating to poverty and redistribution. After coming to India he has been associated more with the gradual shift from socialist orthodoxy that has characterised Indian planning at least from the early eighties. The high point of course came in 1991 when he was the principal bureaucrat working with Dr Manmohan Singh in the great bonfire of controls. His substantial achievements as one of the principal architects of the liberalised economy are justly celebrated. More recently he has bent his energies at transforming the venerable and graying professorial institution that we call the Planning Commission and he has had a longer tenure as Deputy Chairman than anyone else in the past 50 years. The Planning Commission has been around for about 60 years and over these years its influence in shaping the rate and pattern of growth has fluctuated. One can distinguish four phases. An exuberant youth that lasted from 1950 to 1965, an awkward adolescence from 1965-1980 when it tried to change as often as the confused politics of this period required, a depressed middle age from 1980 to 1990 when it struggled to remain relevant and now after 1991 a period of maturity, as it tries to reinvent itself to remain relevant in a liberalised economy.

    Roaring Tiger Or Lumbering Elephant?

Tel. +61 2 8238 9060 [email protected] Assessing the performance, prospects and problems of India’s development model.1 In the past, there has been plenty of scepticism about India’s economic prospects: for many, Charles De Gaulle’s aphorism regarding Brazil, that it was a country with enormous potential, and always would be, seemed to apply equally well to the South Asian economy. While the ‘tiger’ economies of East Asia were enjoying economic take-off on the back of investment- and export-led growth, the lumbering Indian elephant seemed set to be a perpetual also-ran in the growth stakes. Yet following a series of reform efforts, first tentatively in the 1980s, and then with much more conviction in the 1990s, the Indian economic model has been transformed, and so too India’s growth prospects. High profile successes in the new economy sectors of information technology (IT) and business process outsourcing (BPO), along with faster economic growth, triggered a widespread rethink regarding India’s economic prospects, and a wave of foreign portfolio investment flowed into Indian markets. Perhaps India was set to be a tiger after all. Yet this new-found optimism received a setback in May and June of this year, when there were sharp falls in Indian stock markets. Had the optimism been overdone, and was another re-rating of India’s economic prospects on the cards? Perhaps India was only a lumbering elephant after all? This paper takes a closer look at the new Indian development model.
