Chidambaram has been deeply involved with the economic reforms that have changed India for the better. He firmly believes that economic freedom is linked not just to higher growth, more jobs and larger incomes, but has undeniable connections to political freedom, empowerment, transparency and good governance. This book is as much a tribute to Chidambaram's eloquent advocacy of economic freedom—and the courage he displayed in implementing it—as about setting the agenda for the country's next wave of reforms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe authors of the essays in this volume are accomplished experts in their respective spheres. Together, they cover a wide range of issues: fiscal and monetary policies, strengthening financial inclusion, revitalising agriculture, buoying stock markets, policy on natural resources, external trade reforms, urban infrastructure renewal and security aspects to growth. The volume not only offers perceptive analyses on these topics but also charts out the clear roadmap for a growth-oriented, caring and compassionate agenda for the country's future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"morecontent\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"more\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"morecontent\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"d_normalheder\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAbout the Author(s) \/ Editor(s)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSameer Kochhar\u003c\/b\u003e, Chairman of Skoch Group, is a passionate advocate of social, financial and digital inclusion. In 1997, after spending 15 years in the corporate world, he decided to follow his inner calling and become a development thinker. Ever since, he single-mindedly applied himself to the rigours of self-education, academic research and field tours. The Skoch Group—which has think-tank, media and consultancy arms—was established as part of this endeavour. His expert opinion is sought by the government. In Sameer’s thinking, writings and activities, his profound admiration for India’s economic reforms—and in extension, those outstanding personalities who strive to make these reforms more meaningful and broad-based—comes out clear and unambiguous.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"d_normalheder\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"d_normalheder\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eContributors\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eIsher Judge Ahluwalia • Montek Singh Ahluwalia • Tarun Das • Gursharan Dhanjal • Ashok Jha • Vijay L.
