  • Indian Economy on the Eve of Independence
    1 Q.1)What do you mean by economic structure? Ans) Economic structure is a term that describes the changing balance of output, trade, incomes and employment drawn from different economic sectors – ranging from primary (farming, fishing, mining etc) to secondary (manufacturing and construction industries) to tertiary and quaternary sectors. 2 Q.2)Discuss occupational structure of Indian economy at the time of Independence. Ans) The occupational structure, which refers to the distribution of population working in different sectors, showed no variation throughout the British rule. The following are the salient features of India’s pre-independence occupational structure (i) Predominance of agriculture: Under the colonial rule, India was basically an agrarian economy, with nearly 70.75% of its workforce engaged directly or indirectly in agriculture. Due to massive poverty and widespread illiteracy during the colonial rule, a large proportion of the population was engaged in farming and related activities to earn their subsistence. But agricultural sector suffered from low productivity and, thereby its growth was highly constrained despite employing a significant proportion of the population. (ii) Lack of Opportunities in Industry: Only a small proportion of population was employed in manufacturing sector. Nearly 10% of the total workforce was engaged in manufacturing and industrial sector. This was due to the stiff competition that the Indian industries faced from the machine made cheap goods from Britain, Further, the lack of investment initiatives and the unfavourable tariff structure constrained industrial sector. Thus, the Indian industrial sector failed to provide significant employment opportunities. 3 Q.3) What were the main causes of slow growth of population during British rule? Ans)During British rule India was in first stage of demographic transition.

Althou1h the Western economist ■ i1ht find so■e of the concepts self­ evident, the author believes their inclusion at this point in the ■onoeraph will aid the reader in understandinc the Soviet approach towards lar1e-scale econo■ ic ■anace ■ent. 1.2 The Econo■ ic Planning Matrix The first step in econo■ ic planninc is co ■pilinc a list of production require■ents for a civen population and econoaic base. This list is constantly refined and supple■ented, but the nu■ ber of such chan1es by co■parison with the overall size ot the list is insignifi­ cant. Within a sincle planninc period (a year or even a five year plan) it can be assu■ed to be constant and civen. Co■plex production-de■and relations, includinc the necessity of continued capital invest■ent in production facilities require the for­ ■ation, directly or indirectly, of an econo■ ic planninc ■atrix as shown in Pieure 1.1.
