Basu worked in that position from 2009 to 2012. These three years saw substantial transformation in the world economy and similarly in our nation's economic policies as well. Basu, in this book talks about some of the pressing issues faced by a developing economy like growth and equality, globalization and sovereignty, laws and corruption, policy making and politics. Discussing various notions ranging from macroeconomic to fiscal and monetary policies; and from the granular of designing grain auctions to the dream of ensuring every citizen has access to basic food, this book is full of economic wisdom. It also sheds light on the dinner hosted by Dr. Manmohan Singh, where President Obama joked to him, “You should give this guy some tips” and “this guy” was Timothy Geithner.

Scholars have varied perceptions about the nature, magnitude, discourse, policies, and practices associated with globalization. It is an important issue of concern, whether to consider globalization benign and a blessing or a curse for mankind. Nevertheless, the way globalization process has operated during the last couple of decades, it has become clear that it is an evolving reality.

Accountability, the heartbeat of governance, is under siege. The epidemic of unaccountability lurks beneath India's myriad tragedies, conquering the spirit of the citizen and constraining India from unlocking its full economic and social potential. The misgovernance so vividly visible today is a strong signal that India's liberal democracy is disobeying the principles of its grand design. Citizens are deeply concerned about the state of their nation, but unsure what role they can play in improving accountability. This book was written to increase the public understanding of accountability. Jay P. Desai asks very important questions: How did accountability historically evolve in India can accountability be measured how does India rank against other countries does accountability impact economic and social performance does our socio-cultural fabric influence accountability and what role do existing accountability mechanisms and institutions play in strengthening or weakening, the four foundations of accountability? The author constructs a three-dimensional lens with which he examines the mechanisms that hold our governance institutions accountable. Six initiatives that can improve accountability in India are identified and evaluated. Citizens can play a key role in strengthening accountability, using the five-fold path set out. Desai explains why a burst of governance reforms are sorely needed and describes how the journey of accountability will play out over the next few decades.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Indian Hobby Center","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41107207487531,"sku":"","price":680.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6796\/1387\/files\/41xaFdY43TL._SY425__1.jpg?v=1717569239"},{"product_id":"economics-of-fisheries-by-p-n-pandey-b-c-jha-hardcover","title":"ECONOMICS OF FISHERIES BY P.N.

These natural lakes are one of the prime fisheries resources with significant socio-economic overtones besides the repository of aquatic bio-diversity. In addition to these they are one of the finest refuge of avian fauna, both resident and migratory. The Gandak basin in Bihar has a chain of Ox-bow lakes originated owing to frequent mindering of rivers. These water bodies support a large section of the human society by providing potable water, irrigation water, fisheries and so on. The Ox-bow lakes by virtue of their reverine origin had a renewable source of fisheries till recently. In the face of increased anthropogenic activities, however, the lakes have lost their originality and have been subjected to stresses of various dimensions. Over-exploitation of biotic resources, indiscriminate land use patterns and continuous disposal of waste materials have become the hallmark to these lakes. Evidently, the Oxbow lakes of Bihar are passing through a critical phase of ecological transition where in fish and fisheries are the worst causality. Increased silt and nutrients loading has assumed a serious dimension leading to thick stands of macrophytes, a typical example of the advanced stage of eutrophication. The lakes are in fact reeling under a severe threat of total elimination and need conservation measures, immediately. However, to protect the biodiversity or to achieve fish yield on sustainable basis, scientific management has become imminent. A modest effort has been made in this book to highlight the present state-of-art of ecology, biodiversity and fisheries of Oxbow lakes of Bihar, which hitherto remain neglected till date.

Demonstrating how reforms unfolded in a highly complex environment laden with uncertainty, it points to the importance of contextual factors in shaping reform choices as well as the role of leadership in fashioning strategies for change. Detailed studies showcase how reforms in public service delivery have improved prospects for economic growth and poverty alleviation in Bihar. They discuss how the reforms have aided the restructuring of public sector enterprises and the power sector in West Bengal. These reforms have facilitated Gujarat's emergence as one of India's fastest growing states. The studies further explore the issue of improving regulation in infrastructure, particularly in telecommunications, ports, and power. They also assess the challenges facing urban service delivery-in Ahmedabad, Bangalore, and Patna-particularly in the context of the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission. The book also examines India's readiness to adopt the executive agency model for delivering public services in a more autonomous and accountable fashion. Finally, it analyses some key lessons from other countries for the implementation of the country's pioneering right to information law. The volume underscores the importance of ideas, the capacity of the state, and building on incremental changes over time as critical elements of the reform process. Contributors Vikram K. Chand S.K.

An Idea Whose Time Has Come traces the ISB’s eventful history and also examines the reasons that account for the institute’s success. What emerges is a tale of perseverance and dedication, of challenges met and rewards reaped, and of an unshakeable idea that was painstakingly transformed into an invincible institution.

It has attracted global attention as an emerging economic powerhouse, but is also home to the largest concentration of people living in conflict, poverty, and malnutrition. With a focus on the poor half billion of South Asia, this volume puts into perspective the colossal task ahead to eradicate poverty and enable inclusive growth in the region. Examining the challenges, successes, and failures of South Asia, it provides fresh perspectives on the links between economic geography, institutions, and globalization. Through a comparative study of spatial disparities in income, poverty, conflict, human development, and gender divides, the essays provide answers to why certain regions are lagging. Combining quantitative data with analytical rigour, they provide innovative short- and long-term policy solutions to overcome the limits to growth and escape poverty traps.

A detailed analysis of specialization, capital, and value in various segments of this labour-intensive, 'green' informal market is undertaken, with explicit recognition of its wider social and political institutional context, and how it is shaped by unequal interactions with civil society and the state. In particular, the book focuses on the identity and agency of subordinate scheduled caste groups-living literally and metaphorically on the edge of the city-in negotiating 'a decent life' in today's neoliberal environment.

With one of the highest GDP growth rates in the world and an array of recent achievements in technology, industry and entrepreneurship, India strides confidently towards the future. But, in the world’s largest democracy, not everyone is equally fortunate. More than 300 million Indians are still prey to hunger, illiteracy and disease, and 51 per cent of India’s children are still undernourished. What will it take for India to bridge this great divide? When will the fruits of development reach the poorest of the poor, and wipe the tears from the eyes of every man, woman and child, as Mahatma Gandhi had dreamt? And how should this, our greatest challenge ever, be negotiated? In this extraordinarily inspiring and visionary book, N.R. Narayana Murthy, who pioneered, designed and executed the Global Delivery Model that has become the cornerstone of India’s success in information technology services outsourcing, shows us that a society working for the greatest welfare of the greatest number— samasta jananam sukhino bhavantu —must focus on two simple things: values and good leadership. Drawing on the remarkable Infosys story and the lessons learnt from the two decades of post-reform India, Narayana Murthy lays down the ground rules that must be followed if future generations are to inherit a truly progressive nation. Built on Narayana Murthy’s lectures delivered around the world, A Better India: A Better World is a manifesto for the youth, the architects of the future, and a compelling argument for why a better India holds the key to a better world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Indian Hobby Center","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41112209129515,"sku":"","price":390.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6796\/1387\/files\/81W3kQTsYLL._SY385__1.jpg?v=1718184823"},{"product_id":"indias-agriculture-and-food-exports-opportunities-and-challenges-by-dr-debesh-roy-bijetri-roy","title":"INDIA'S AGRICULTURE AND FOOD EXPORTS : OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES BY DR DEBESH ROY \u0026 BIJETRI ROY (HARDCOVER)","description":"\u003ch2\u003eThe book covers issues related to global trade regime, free trade agreements (FTAs), sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) measures, technical barriers to trade (TBT), food loss management, agriculture export finance, agriculture export value chains, etc. The book has carefully collated different dimensions of India's exports in agricultural products, in order to present issues, challenges and opportunities experienced by the agriculture export sector.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"detailBullets_feature_div\"\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"a-unordered-list a-nostyle a-vertical a-spacing-none detail-bullet-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003ePublisher ‏ : ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBloomsbury India (18 May 2022)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eLanguage ‏ : ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eHardcover ‏ : ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e258 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eISBN-10 ‏ : ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e9354357970\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eISBN-13 ‏ : ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e978-9354357978\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eItem Weight ‏ : ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e520 g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eDimensions ‏ : ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e20.3 x 25.4 x 4.7 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"a-unordered-list a-nostyle a-vertical a-spacing-none detail-bullet-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Indian Hobby Center","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41112991957035,"sku":"","price":960.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6796\/1387\/files\/81MDGD2A9KL._SY385__1.jpg?v=1718262606"},{"product_id":"labour-bondage-in-west-india-from-past-to-present-by-jan-breman-hardcover","title":"LABOUR BONDAGE IN WEST INDIA : FROM PAST TO PRESENT BY JAN BREMAN (HARDCOVER) OLD BOOK","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn continuation of his study of the underclass in rural Gujarat, Jan Breman's present book traces the historical antecedents of the ongoing subordination of rural labour. He takes a retrospective look at the dynamics of social and political developments before and since independence and this forms the basis of his new field work in south Gujarat carried out between 2004 and 2006. Breman's empirical research shows that despite repeated promises of politicians within and outside the state of Gujarat, poverty alleviation has remained a low priority. The plethora of schemes and programmes that the government announced³even if implemented³had a negligible impact because it did not reach the majority of those it was intended to help. Moreover, Breman contends that the process of pauperization has a deeper cause. The model of economic development followed in the late twentieth century was based on adding value to the means of production that tended to yield a low output. This strategy could be successful only if the agricultural labourers owned at least some means of production in the form of land tools and other assets. But these labourers in the villages where the author conducted his research were not only landless but completely bereft of property. They barely owned their labour power³their employers decided how and when it would be used. They therefore, neither had the physical nor the social capital necessary to assert themselves and make progress. This rural agrarian underclass was thus subjected to a strategy of exclusion and this, says the author, explains why they continue to live in a condition of abject poverty and could not be beneficiaries of a booming economy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Indian Hobby Center","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41113001328683,"sku":"","price":400.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6796\/1387\/files\/51v4bV3eagL._SY385__1.jpg?v=1718263481"},{"product_id":"black-money-created-through-smuggling-and-counterfeiting-to-fund-terrorism-by-brij-bhardwaj-hardcover","title":"BLACK MONEY : CREATED THROUGH SMUGGLING AND COUNTERFEITING TO FUND TERRORISM BY BRIJ BHARDWAJ (HARDCOVER)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe idea about a book on Black Money took birth while media was full of reports about money kept in Swiss banks and other tax havens. The reports became more focused when Indian Government received a list of Indians holding accounts abroad particularly in the Geneva branch of the HSBC bank from the French Government. Many NGO groups also gave some estimates about the money kept by Indians abroad. The main opposition party BJP was very vocal in demand for taking action against those holding illegal accounts and foreign banks. In India it is no secret that black money plays a major role in national economy, particularly in sectors like real estate where not many transactions are complete without use of black money. The focus of the book, however, is different it does not aim at making any attempt to find out how black money is parked or stored instead it looks on how it is generated. It points out how every citizen even the honest ones who while making day-to-day purchases help in generating black money by not insisting on a bill or cash memo.

In today's digital age of the millennial, transparency and social awareness have to be the cornerstones of any organization. Leaders and their HR need to align their current values accordingly. Some fundamentals like truth, humility, courage, energy, edge, equity, social justice will have to be brought back into the organization leadership DNA.All of us are aware about the spurt in leadership development activities in India over the recent years. There have been frantic efforts in Indian as well as foreign companies to develop leadership quickly across all levels in the organization. The reason of this recent surge lies in the current growth trajectory of Indian companies. Many Indian companies are growing at a rate which is mind-boggling. Companies which grew at 3 to 4 percent per annum for the first 30 years of their history, grew 10 fold or more since the advent of the new millennium. There are examples of several companies which have expanded phenomenally during the last decade, from Pan-India operations to manufacturing in 5 countries and doing business in 30 countries, increasing their manpower five times more than the number of people they had ever hired. This has put tremendous pressure on companies to develop leadership at all levels in the shortest possible time.So the natural question that comes up is: what kind of leaders do we need today in India?When we explore our own past, we expect our leaders be it in the form of god, king, or entrepreneur, to be ‘Sarva Guna Sampanna’, i.e. one who has all identified competencies and qualities required to be the ‘right’ leader. Today the imperative for senior leaders is to keep actualizing the talent in themselves and also in the band of leaders all over, whether leading from the front or middle.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Indian Hobby Center","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41113104941099,"sku":"","price":560.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6796\/1387\/files\/81JvMFbw6GL._SY385__1.jpg?v=1718278551"},{"product_id":"delhi-development-and-change-by-i-mohan-hardcover","title":"DELHI : DEVELOPMENT AND CHANGE BY I.

The study of business cycles attempts to explain why economies grow and contract, experiencing periods of prosperity and pain. Consistent with the popular conception of economics as the dismal science, economists secretly long for recessions (periods of negative growth) and depressions (severe contractions), not because they enjoy their devastating impact on human welfare, but because these downturns serve as excellent laboratories for observing what happens when markets break down. Despite over two centuries of debate, no one has yet definitively unlocked the secrets of economic downturns and how they might be prevented.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eRecessions and Depressions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Todd Knoop traces the evolution of business cycle theory, from the classical model, which preceded the Great Depression, through the ground-breaking ideas of John Maynard Keynes, Milton Friedman, and their followers. He examines the strengths and limitations of each approach, in terms of explaining the impact of such factors as government policy, money supply, labor productivity, and wages. In the process, he presents an accessible introduction to what makes the economy tick, and offers new insights into understanding such historic events as the Great Depression, as well as more recent ones, such as the Asian meltdown in the 1990s, the financial crises in Latin America, and the U.S. recession of 2001, from which the United States is still recovering. Knoop reminds us that economists' track record in forecasting business cycles leaves much to be desired, and the quest to fully understand what causes economic downturns―and their effects on individuals and families―continues.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-expander-header a-expander-partial-collapse-header\"\u003e\u003ca data-csa-c-func-deps=\"aui-da-a-expander-toggle\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-interaction-events=\"click\" aria-expanded=\"true\" role=\"button\" data-action=\"a-expander-toggle\" class=\"a-declarative\" data-a-expander-toggle='{\"allowLinkDefault\":true, \"expand_prompt\":\"Read more\", \"collapse_prompt\":\"Read less\"}' data-csa-c-id=\"tb3usk-uiv18n-rkkldh-7af36b\"\u003e\u003ci class=\"a-icon a-icon-extender-collapse\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Indian Hobby Center","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41113115459627,"sku":"","price":700.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6796\/1387\/files\/51L29aXBUpL._SY385__1.jpg?v=1718280538"},{"product_id":"concrete-economics-the-hamilton-approach-to-economic-growth-and-policy-by-stephen-s-cohenhardcover","title":"CONCRETE ECONOMICS: The Hamilton Approach to Economic Growth and Policy BY STEPHEN S.

Brilliantly written and argued, Concrete Economics shows how government has repeatedly reshaped the American economy ever since Alexander Hamilton's first, foundational redesign. This book does not rehash the sturdy and long-accepted arguments that to thrive, entrepreneurial economies need a broad range of freedoms. Instead, Steve Cohen and Brad DeLong remedy our national amnesia about how our economy has actually grown and the role government has played in redesigning and reinvigorating it throughout our history. The government not only sets the ground rules for entrepreneurial activity but directs the surges of energy that mark a vibrant economy. This is as true for present-day Silicon Valley as it was for New England manufacturing at the dawn of the nineteenth century. The authors' argument is not one based on abstract ideas, arcane discoveries, or complex correlations. Instead it is based on the facts--facts that were once well known but that have been obscured in a fog of ideology--of how the US economy benefited from a pragmatic government approach to succeed so brilliantly. Understanding how our economy has grown in the past provides a blueprint for how we might again redesign and reinvigorate it today, for such a redesign is sorely needed.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mO48d3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Indian Hobby Center","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41117096869931,"sku":"","price":1030.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6796\/1387\/files\/CONCRETE.png?v=1718789391"},{"product_id":"made-only-in-india-goods-with-geographical-indications-by-anu-kapur-hardcover","title":"MADE ONLY IN INDIA: Goods with geographical indications BY ANU KAPUR (HARDCOVER) OLD BOOK","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat makes Darjeeling tea, Pashmina shawl, Monsooned Malabar Arabica coffee and Chanderi saree special? Why is it that some goods derive their uniqueness through their inherent linkage to a place? In a pioneering study, this book explores this intriguing question in the Indian context across 199 registered goods with geographical indications, linked with their place of origin. It argues that the origin of these goods is attributed to a distinctive ecology that brews in a particular place. The attributes of their origin further endorse their unique geographical indications through legal channels. Drawing from a variety of disciplines including geography, history, sociology, handicrafts, paintings, and textiles, the author also examines the Geographical Indications Act of 1999, and shows how it has created a scope to identify, register and protect those goods, be they natural, agricultural, or manufactured. The work presents a new perspective on the indigenous diversities and offers an original understanding of the geography and history of India.

But that is only half the saying, the full expression is: ‘India grows at night… when the government sleeps’, suggesting that the nation may be rising despite the state. India’s is a tale of private success and public failure. Prosperity is, indeed, spreading across the country even as governance failure pervades public life. But how could a nation become one of the world’s fastest-growing economies when it’s governed by a weak, ineffective state? And wouldn’t it be wonderful if India also grew during the day—in other words, if public policy supported private enterprise? What India needs, Gurcharan Das says, is a strong liberal state. Such a state would have the authority to take quick, decisive action, it would have the rule of law to ensure those actions are legitimate and finally, it would be accountable to the people. But achieving this will not be easy, says Das, because India has historically had a weak state and a strong society.

Is there a key to unlocking happiness? Do you sometimes feel used or taken for granted in your relationships? How do you deal with anger, jealousy, resentment, or sadness? Can anyone change the destined course of their life? What is the one proven antidote to addictive habits? What is the meaning of life? Is it possible to experience the fifth dimension? Dr Yusuf Merchant, or Doc as he is widely called, has been schooled by adversity from his childhood. He has lost friends and loved ones to dark addictions, endured heart-wrenching betrayal, lived on the streets, and struggled with the trauma of abandonment and the absence of hope.But he hit back against every crisis—and so can you.In this book, the master of mindfulness offers forty-two different ways to live a peaceful and fulfilling life. He punches negativity in the face and uses visualisation techniques to achieve his dreams.

Will the government have effective control over these companies? How will FDI affect local businesses? This book answers these questions central to any discussion on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). The volume provides a detailed presentation on the evolution of India’s foreign investment policy in the 1980s to developments in the 2000s. This is contrasted with a study of the policy decisions of Asian countries that India competes with on the global stage—China, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore. Through a comparison of domestic and foreign-owned firms, FDI in India also studies the way FDI indirectly impacts the productivity of domestic firms. The authors break the artificial distinction between FDI and trade and suggest that the government reduces administrative obstacles to develop synergies between the two. They argue that by bringing greater competition and technology spinoffs to local industry, FDI is likely to benefit the economy.
