Significant progress in critical institutional reforms that would set the pace for double-digit growth in the near future. Dynamism in the rural economy due to scaled up flow of resources to the rural areas.

CHALLENGES
Structural concerns on inflation management to be addressed by improving supply response of agriculture to the expanding domestic demand and through stronger fiscal consolidation. Implementation gaps, leakages from public programmes and the quality of outcomes pose a serious challenge.

Impression of drift in governance and gap in public accountability is misplaced. Corruption as a problem to be fought collectively. Government to improve the regulatory standards and administrative practices. Inputs fom colleagues on both sides of House are important in the wider

national interest.
Budget 2011-12 to serve as a transition towards a more transparent and result

oriented economic management system in India.

Monetary policy measures taken expected to further moderate inflation in coming months.

Exports have grown by 29.4 per cent, while imports have recorded a growth of 17.6 per cent during April to January 2010-11 over the corresponding period last year.

Fiscal consolidation targets at Centre and States have shown positive effect on macro economic management of the economy.

GOVERNMENT POLICIES
The government has both owned a large proportion of industrial establishments and has tightly regulated the private sector. From the late 1970s, the government sought to reduce its role, but progress remained slow throughout the 1980s.

The Congress government that came to power in June 1991 had a renewed commitment to cutting back the role of government, and in the mid-1990s the liberalization program made progress, although many uncertainties remained about its

implementation.

 The Industrial Policy Resolution of 1948 gave the government the go-

ahead to build and operate key industries, which largely meant those
producing capital and intermediate goods The industrial policy resolutions of 1948 and 1956 delineated the lines

between the public and private sectors and stressed the need for a
large degree of self-sufficiency in manufacturing, the basic strategy that guided industrialization until the mid-1980s

Another early decision on industrial policy mandated that defense

industries would be developed by the public sector

 In 1970 the Monopolies and Restrictive Practices Act supplied the

government with additional authority to diminish concentrations of

private economic power and to restrict business practices contrary to the public interest. This act was strengthened in 1984

Tariffs and quantitative controls largely kept foreign competition out of the domestic market, and most Indian manufacturers looked on

exports only as a residual possibility.

In the 1980s and early 1990s, India began increasingly to remove some of the controls on industry. Nevertheless, in the mid-1990s, there were state monopolies for most energy and communications production and services, and the state dominated the steel, nonferrous metal, machine tool, shipbuilding, chemical, fertilizer, paper, and coal industries.
