for Economic development are more to
which areas?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The economic development in India followed socialist-inspired politicians for most of its independent history, including state-ownership of many sectors;[1] India's per capita income increased at only around 1% annualised rate in the three decades after its independence.[2] Since the mid-1980s, India has slowly opened up its markets through economic liberalisation. After more fundamental reforms since 1991 and their renewal in the 2000s, India has progressed towards a free market economy.[2]

In the late 2000s, India's growth reached 7.5%, which will double the average income in a decade.[2] IMF says that if India pushed more fundamental market reforms, it could sustain the rate and even reach the government's 2011 target of 10%.[2] States have large responsibilities over their economies. The average annual growth rates (2007–12) for Gujarat (13.86%), Uttarakhand (13.66%), Bihar (10.15%) or Jharkhand (9.85%) were higher than for West Bengal (6.24%), Maharashtra (7.84%), Odisha (7.05%), Punjab (11.78%) or Assam (5.88%).[3] India is the Fifth largest economy in the world and the third largest by purchasing power parity adjusted exchange rates (PPP). On per capita basis, it ranks 140th in the world or 129th by PPP.

Answer 2

Answer:

This type of budget is best suited for developing economies, such as India. Especially helpful at times of recession, a deficit budget helps generate additional demand and boost the rate of economic growth. Here, the government incurs the excessive expenditure to improve the employment rate.
