India's Economic Reforms (1991 - 2016) Review and Plan for 2016-2041 - $20 Trillion GDP

Indian Economic Reforms - Review of the period 1991 - 2016

All newspapers and periodicals are publishing articles reviewing the reform process initiated in 1991 and sustained till 2016 in a party neutral manner. Whichever government came into power so far, it carried the reforms further and strengthened the liberalized economic system where private business is allowed to show its entrepreneurial ability without the shackles of government planning commission and licenses based on it. Public sector was allowed to expand wherever possible without insisting on domination of public sector in every organized sector of economic activity.

Below is the collection of articles that are being published in Indian and Foreign press about the economic reforms undertaken during the period 1991 - 2016 in India

The first important document that every reader interested in knowing about economic reforms that Indian government initiated has to read is the budget speech delivered by Dr. Manmohan Singh, Finance Minister on 24 July 1991.

By: P Chidambaram | Published: July 10, 2016

The only way in which we can accelerate and sustain the pace of development is to ensure that every able-bodied adult can work and contribute to economic development. - P Chidambaram
