Answer:
The program of economic policy reform which was put in place in 1991 has yielded amazing results, dramatically improving the quality of life in India. Trade liberalisation in India has also corresponded with a dramatic rise in inequality and associated social issues, but these are normal for a developing economy.
First know these :
Before 1991:
- There was poor performance of public sector in India.
- Deficit in balance of payments
- Inflationary pressure (price level high)
- Fall in foreign exchange Reserve.
- Huge burden of debts.
- Insufficient management.
There is no other option for india to get rid out of this so ,India goes to IMF for financial help to manage the economic crisis in 1919.
