Introduction

To discuss the topic "The Indian approach to industrialisation", this essay is divided

into several parts. Firstly, the reasons for, and policies of industrialisation are

discussed. The theoretical framework is finished by identifying indicators to be used

in the evaluation of the success of such policies. The second section gives a rough

overview of the development of industrialisation in India since independence. The

third section goes into more detail and provides information about some specific and

important areas for industrialisation. The fourth section uses the defined indicators to

measure the success of India’s two main approaches to industrialisation and evaluates

the results. The fifth section describes the main problems India faces today and in the

future. Last but not least, the sixth section informs about current trends in Indian

policy.
