In 1991, India embarked on major reforms to liberalize its economy after three decades of socialism 2018 1991 and a fourth of creeping liberalization. Years later, the outcome has been an outstanding economic success. India has gone from being a poor, slow-growing country to one of the fastest-growing major Population (Bn) 1.35 0.89 economies in the world. By the end of the 1970s, India had acquired a reputation as one of the most protected and heavily regulated economies in the world. Starting in the mid 1970s and then later on in Life Expectancy 69 58.8 the 1980s, a few steps were taken to liberalize the regulatory regime. In 1991, more extensive reforms followed. After pursuing a strategy of self-reliance for more than forty years, compelled by the balance- Literacy Rate (2011 Census) 79% 52% of-payment crisis, India initiated wide-ranging economic reforms in 1991. Reforms in industrial policies provided the direction for reforms in other areas such as trade and GDP Growth Rate 6.6% 5.3% finance. Industry reforms sought primarily to remove licensing requirements, which posed significant barriers to entry and prevented the manufacturing sector from taking advantage of economies of GDP (at current prices) – INR Cr 1,67,84,679 5,31,814 scale.

Steps were also GDP (at Current prices) –USD Bn 2,603 275 taken to facilitate the inflow of Foreign Direct Investments (FDI). India’s growth in recent years has been led by the services sector. Given the inter-dependence between Per capita income (nominal) – USD 1,928 310 Education and Economic growth, it is important to note that Indian Higher Education System has played a pivotal role in India’s growth trajectory.
