Sometimes socialism was preferred, sometimes industrialization, sometimes the Green Revolution proved a milestone in eradicating the hunger of the country.
1947 – Freedom and new beginnings
During the reign of Jawaharlal Nehru, the country proceeded on the path of socialism. The decisions taken at that time laid the foundation of future India. Today, if India remains a global economic center, then the role of their thinking in it cannot be denied.
After independence, India’s economy was crocodile. Poverty was at its peak with the pain of partition. In such a situation, Nehru adopted the “Mixed Economy” model on the lines of the Soviet Union – which focused on sharp industrialization with self -reliance. This helped India to overcome starvation and get out of the sorrow of partition.
1950s – Construction of Nehru Yuga and foundation
The Planning Commission was formed in 1950, whose job was to make five -year plans and implement them. Earlier (1951–1956) Five -Year Plan, agriculture, irrigation and electricity were given priority, reaching the GDP growth rate to 3.2% – which was far more than the estimated 2.1%. The second five -year plan emphasized heavy industry, steel plant and mass production. PSU companies like SAIL, BHEL and NTPC were established in this period. These were called “temples of modern India” – whose aim was not just to earn profits but to generate employment and maintain regional balance.
1960s -1970s – Green Revolution and Food Self -reliance
In the 1960s, India was struggling with a serious starvation crisis and dependent on foreign food aid. At that time agricultural scientist M.S. Swaminathan – Those who are called the father of Green Revolution – developed high productivity wheat and rice seeds. The government invested on fertilizers, pesticides and irrigation reforms, which changed India’s agricultural landscape.
1980s – Rise of technology
Under the rule of Rajiv Gandhi, India gradually moved from strict socialism and moved towards technology-based development. Telecommunication and IT got boost, telephone began to reach rural areas, and MTNL improved urban services. Something was relaxed in the license rule.
1991 – Big step for economic liberalization
But the real economic reforms took place in 1991, when India was almost insolvency due to the foreign exchange reserves crisis and the Gulf War. P.V. Narasimha Rao and the then Finance Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh implemented the “new economic policy” – which included the end of the license raj, openness for foreign investment and market -based reforms.
