how public sector impacted the Indian population
Answers
Explanation:
Prior to Independence, there were few ‘Public Sector’ Enterprises in the country.
These included the Railways, the Posts and Telegraphs, the Port Trusts, the
Ordinance Factories, All India Radio, few enterprises like the Government Salt
Factories, Quinine Factories, etc. which were departmentally managed.
1.1.2 Independent India adopted planned economic development policies in a
democratic, federal polity. The country was facing problems like inequalities in
income and low levels of employment, regional imbalances in economic
development and lack of trained manpower. India at that time was predominantly
an agrarian economy with a weak industrial base, low level of savings, inadequate
investments and infrastructure facilities. In view of this type of socio-economic
set up, our visionary leaders drew up a roadmap for the development of Public
Sector as an instrument for self-reliant economic growth. This guiding factor led
to the passage of Industrial Policy Resolution of 1948 and followed by Industrial
Policy Resolution of 1956. The 1948 Resolution envisaged development of core
sectors through the public enterprises. Public Sector would correct the regional
imbalances and create employment. Industrial Policy Resolution of 1948 laid
emphasis on the expansion of production, both agricultural and industrial; and in
particular on the production of capital equipment and goods satisfying the basic
needs of the people, and of commodities the export of which would increase
earnings of foreign exchange.
In early years of independence, capital was scarce and the base of entrepreneurship
was also not strong enough. Hence, the 1956 Industrial Policy Resolution gave
primacy to the role of the State which was directly responsible for industrial
development. Consequently the planning process (5 year Plans) was initiated
taking into account the needs of the country. The new strategies for the public
sector were later outlined in the policy statements in the years 1973, 1977, 1980
and 1991. The year 1991 can be termed as the watershed year, heralding
liberalisation of the Indian economy.
