18. Definitions of The Term “Liberalization”
and “Economic Liberalization”
• The term “Liberalization” stands for “the act of making less
strict”.
• Liberalization in Economy stands for “The process of making
policies less constraining of economic activity." And also
“Reduction of tariffs and/or removal of non-tariff barriers.”
• Economic liberalization is a very broad term that usually
refers to fewer government regulations and restrictions in the
economy in exchange for greater participation of private
entities
19. • In developing countries, economic liberalization refers
more to liberalization or further "opening up" of their
respective economies to foreign capital and
investments.
• The fastest growing developing economies today;
Brazil, Russia, India, and China have achieved rapid
economic growth in the past several years or decades
after they have "liberalized" their economies to foreign
capital.
BRICS ??
20. Pre-Liberalization Era of Indian
Economy
• The low annual growth rate of the economy of India
before 1980, which stagnated around 3.5% from
1950s to 1980s, while per capital income averaged
1.3%.
• Only four or five licenses would be given for steel,
power and communications. License owners built up
huge powerful empires.
• A huge public sector emerged. State-owned
enterprises made large losses.
21. • License Raj established the "irresponsible, self-perpetuating
bureaucracy that still exists throughout much of the
country”.
• Infrastructure investment was poor because of the public
sector monopoly.
• The economic crisis was primarily due to the large and
growing fiscal imbalances over the 1980s.
• During mid eighties, India started having balance of payments
problems. Precipitated by the Gulf War, India’s oil import bill swelled,
exports slumped, credit dried up and investors took their money out.
22. • The foreign exchange reserves had dried up
to the point that India could barely finance
three weeks worth of imports.
24. • Indian economy had experienced major policy changes
in early 1990s.
• The new economic reform, popularly known
as, Liberalization, Privatization and Globalization
(LPG model) aimed at making the Indian economy as
fast growing economy and globally competitive.
• The series of reforms undertaken were in respect to
industrial sector, trade as well as financial sector aimed
at making the economy more efficient.
Liberalization in Indian Economy
25. • With the onset of reforms to liberalize the Indian
economy in July of 1991, a new chapter has dawned for
India and her billion plus population.
• This period of economic transition has had a tremendous
impact on the overall economic development of almost
all major sectors of the economy, and its effects over the
last decade can hardly be overlooked.
• Besides, it also marks the advent of the real integration
of the Indian economy into the global economy.
26. • This era of reforms has also ushered in a remarkable
change in the Indian mindset, as it deviates from the
traditional values held since Independence in 1947.
• Such as self reliance and socialistic policies of economic
development, which mainly due to the inward looking
restrictive form of governance.
• Resulted in the isolation, overall backwardness and
inefficiency of the economy, amongst a host of other
problems.
• Though, India has always had the potential to be on the
fast track to prosperity.
27. • Now that India is in the process of restructuring her economy, to
maintain the position as one of the most emerging economies of
the world.
• The need to speed up her economic development is even more
imperative.
• And having witnessed the positive role that Foreign Direct
Investment (FDI) has played in the rapid economic growth of most
of the Southeast Asian countries and most notably China.
• India has embarked on an ambitious plan to emulate the successes
of her neighbors to the east and is trying to sell herself as a safe
and profitable destination for FDI.
28. Definitions Of The Term “Privatization” and
“Economic Privatization”
• The term “Privatization” refers to “The transfer of
ownership of property or businesses from a
government to a privately owned entity.”
• The transition from a publicly traded and owned
company to a company which is privately owned and
no longer trades publicly on a stock exchange.
• The process of converting or "selling off"
government-owned assets, properties, or production
activities to private ownership.
29. • After several decades of increasing
government control over productive activities,
privatization came into vogue in the 1980s,
along with business deregulation and an
overall movement toward greater use of
markets.”
• Privatization is frequently associated with
industrial or service-oriented enterprises, such
as mining, manufacturing or power
generation, but it can also apply to any asset,
such as land, roads, or even rights to water.
30. • In recent years, government services such as health,
sanitation, and education have been particularly
targeted for privatization
• Privatization helps establish a "free market", as well
as fostering capitalist competition, which will give the
public greater choice at a competitive price.
31. Reason for Indian Privatization
1. Crippling Budget deficit
2. Spectacular growth by economies of Korea,
Taiwan, Malaysia in private sector
3. Collapse of USSR& communist government in
eastern Europe
4. Changes in China
32. 5. Emergence of professional management
6. IMF & World Bank extended arm to capitalism
7.Gulf crisis
8.Lack of demand in economy
9.Integration of world trade
10. Developed local capital market and Financing
Institution
33. Recent Reasons
•To STENGTHEN Competition
•To improve public finance
•To fund Infrastructure Growth
•Accountability of share holders
•To reduce unnecessary interference
34. The main reason for increased efficiency gain as a result
of privatization can be attributed to
(i)Less political interference in decision making
(i)Staff remuneration is more closely linked to productivity
and profitability
(ii)Firm are exposed to open market discipline as opposed to
government support
(iii)Firm’s cost reducing effort are higher under competitive
private ownership
35. Key obstacle to privatization
(i)Lack of strong and high level political commitment to the
privatization program
(ii) Unclear and weak institutional frame work-
decentralized or centralized. (ministry and provincial
level)
iii) Lack of proper preparation of enterprise for
privatization or divestment eg. Accounting and auditing ,
treatment of losses, social and environmental safety net
36. (iv) Insufficient transparency and flexibility in term
of the method of privatization, balancing,
ownership, and control (corporate governance)
(v) Vested interest of manager, employees and
customer
(vi) Lack of appropriate legal frame work (eg.
Property right, foreign ownershipbankruptcy
law )
(vii) Underdeveloped capital markets
37. WAYS OF PRIVATIZATION
• DISINVESTMENT The action of an organization or
government selling or liquidating an asset or subsidiary. Also
known as "divestiture".
• A company or government organization will divest an asset
or subsidiary as a strategic move for the company, planning
to put the proceeds from the divestiture to better use
that garners a higher return on investment.
• Disposition or sale of an asset by a company. A company will
often divest an asset which is not performing well, which is
not vital to the company's core business, or which is worth
more to a potential buyer or as a separate entity than as part
of the company.
38. • CONTRACTING : policy established in 1984 to encourage
competition for government contracts.
• The idea behind the policy is that the increased
competition will result in improved savings to the
government through more competitive pricing.
• FRANCHISING: Franchising is a method of doing
business in which someone who has a successful
business model shares it with other people in exchange
for an annual fee and a percentage of the gross profits.
39. • PREMITING PRIVATE SECTOR ENTER INTO PSU
RESERVED AREA like Arms and Ammunition, Railway
Transport, Atomic Energy
• LIQUIDATION: When a business or firm is terminated
or bankrupt, its assets are sold and the proceeds pay
creditors. Any leftovers are distributed to shareholders.
• LEASING: A lease is a contractual arrangement calling
for the lessee (user) to pay the lessor (owner) for use of an
asset.
41. Why Agriculture Is Important
Before the Green Revolution, agriculture was widely seen as a stagnant, low-
productivity, and residual sector
Agriculture came to be seen as a growth sector that could:
1. Generate more food and raw materials at
lower prices;
1. Free up foreign exchange for the importation of
strategic industrial and capital goods;
3. with rising rural incomes, provide a growing
domestic market for nascent national industries;
42. 4. reduce poverty by increasing labor productivity
and employment in rural areas,
43. Role in Economic Development:
1. Contribution to National Income
2. Major source of Livelihood
3. Provider of Employment
4. Industrial development
5. International Trade
6. Capital Formation and Investment
7. Food and Fodder
44. Simon Kuznets identifies four factors contributing to the overall economic development.
1.Product contribution i.e., making available food
and raw materials.
2. Market contribution i.e., providing the market
for producer goods and consumer goods
produced in the non-agricultural sector.
3.Factor contribution; making available labour and
capital to the non-agricultural sector
4. Foreign Exchange contribution.
45. Relationship between Agricultural and
non-agricultural sector
During the process of development,
inter-dependence Between agriculture and industry
has become stronger
Production Linkages
Arise from the interdependence of agriculture and industry for productive inputs.
Linkages have got further strengthened with agriculture’s dependence on industry
reflecting the modernization of agricultural sector.
46. Demand linkages
There are strong demand linkages between the
two sectors.
There is an impact of income and industrialization on the demand for food and agricultural
raw materials.
Savings and Consumption linkages
There is an impact of rural income on industrial
consumption goods, i.e., clothing, footwear, sugar, edible oils, TV sets, washing machines,
refrigerators, motor bikes, etc.
“Rural bazaar out buys urban market”.
47. Features of Indian Agriculture
Dependency on Monsoons
Multiplicity of Crops
Diversity in different Spheres
Semi-commercialized farming
Predominance of small farmers
Low level of productivity
48. Factors responsible for the backwardness of agriculture.
Factors can be classified as under:
1. Demographic factors
2. General factors
3. Technological factors
49. 1. Demographic factors
Important Demographic factor responsible for low yield in agriculture is the increasing
pressure of population on land.
Increasing population has fallen back on land for its livelihood,
Created problems like fragmentation and subdivision of holdings;
The supply of improved practices and services has always fallen short of requirements.
50. General Factors
Excess or surplus labour in Agriculture
Discouraging climate
Inadequate non-farm services
Size of holdings
Defective land tenure structure
Indebtedness of the farmers
52. Agriculture Policy of India
Agricultural policy followed during the last five decades can be broadly distinguished In 3
phases.
The period from 1950/51 to mid 1960s which is also called pre green revolution period
witnessed:
1. Tremendous agrarian reforms,
2. Institutional changes and
3. Development of major irrigation projects.
53. The intermediary landlordism was abolished, tenant operations were given security of
farming and ownership of land.
Land ceiling acts were imposed by all the states to
Eliminate large sized holdings
Cooperative credit institutions were strengthened to minimise exploitation of Cultivators by
private money lenders and traders
Expansion of area was the main source of growth in the pre green revolution period.
54. The scope for area expansion diminished considerably in the green revolution period
Increase in productivity became the main source of
Growth in crop output
There was significant acceleration in yield growth
in green revolution period.
The country faced severe food shortage and crisis in early 1960s which forced the policy
makers to realise that;
Continuous reliance on food imports and aid imposes
Heavy costs in terms of political pressure and economic instability
55. There was a desperate search for a quick
breakthrough in agricultural production.
One choice before the country was to go for spread of new seeds of high yielding varieties
(HYV) of wheat and rice
This marked second phase of agriculture policy in the country.
The green revolution technology involved use of modern farm inputs, its spread led to fast
growth in agro input industry.
56. Agrarian reforms during this period took back seat while;
Research,
Input supply,
Credit,
Marketing,
Price support and
Spread of Technology
were the prime concern of policy makers
57. Two very important institutions were created in this period, namely:
Food Corporation of India
To maintain buffer stock to guard against adverse impact of
year to year fluctuations in output on price stability.
Agricultural Prices Commission,
To ensure remunerative prices to producers, maintain reasonable prices for consumers.
These two institutions have mainly benefited rice and wheat crops which are the major
cereals and staple food for the country.
58. The next phase in Indian agriculture began in early 1980s.
While there was clear change in economic policy towards de-licensing and deregulation in
Industry sector, agriculture policy lacked direction and was
marked by confusion.
There has been a considerable increase in subsidies and support to agriculture sector
during this period
Investments by farmers kept on moving on a rising trend
59. The rural economy started witnessing process of diversification which resulted into fast
growth in non food grain output like milk, fishery, poultry, vegetables, fruits etc which
accelerated growth in agricultural GDP during the 1980s.
Though green revolution has been widely diffused in irrigated areas throughout the country,
The dryland areas did not see benefit of technological
breakthrough.
60. National Agricultural Policy in July 2000.
Formulated to meet challenges facing Indian agriculture
Grouped in four categories relating to
(1) Growth
(2) Sustainability
(3) Efficiency and
(4) Equity.
61. There are also other important concerns like;
Food security,
Livelihood,
Employment,
Improvement in standard of living of agricultural population.
The National Policy on Agriculture seeks to actualize the vast untapped growth potential of
Indian agriculture
