Regional Economy of India

Growth and Finance

Editor: Deepak Mohanty

Regional Economy of India: Growth and Finance, edited by Deepak Mohanty, examines the importance of regional economic development in achieving inclusive growth and sustaining economic growth momentum in India.

The book brings together a collection of essays focusing on the growth and financial conditions of various Indian states. Written by scholars at the Reserve Bank of India, the articles aim to encourage further policy-oriented research and contribute to better policymaking.

The volume highlights significant changes in the economic structure of Indian states, particularly the declining share of agriculture and the sharp rise in the share of the services sector.

It emphasizes the need for greater attention to agricultural growth, infrastructure development, and the prioritization of public expenditure towards social sectors. These measures are discussed in the context of improving the quality of the labour force and promoting overall well-being.

The book also includes a foreword by Duvvuri Subbarao and a preface by Subir Gokarn, who served as Governor and Deputy Governor of the Reserve Bank of India, respectively, at the time.

Through its examination of regional growth patterns, financial conditions, and policy priorities, the collection provides perspectives relevant to students, researchers, economists, bankers, and policymakers interested in India's regional economy.
