"A thought provoking book with innovative reforms for creating economic awareness and building team spirit among Indians, particularly the young". Author has charted a unique growth map for a complete turnaround of India. His emphasis is not only on problems pertaining to sensitive issues like Black money, Inflation, Trade deficit, Subsidy and Inclusive growth but still more important on viable solutions.
Even critical issues like Environment, Energy, Transportation, Natural resources and Taxation which are paramount to our economy has been deftly analysed. The book is a must reading for keen proponents of a resurgent India.
The book is being presented with practical solutions and ground realities. Attempt has been laid on innovative methods for quick turnaround along with longterm solutions. It highlights on important issues like black money and corruption which needs preventive action instead of relying on punitive measures alone. It also includes major topics of Indian economy like public finance, savings and subsidy in lucid language. The book is focused on real economy instead of financial economy. Socio-political aspects have also been elaborated in the initial chapters. Basic difference between growth and development has been discussed in GDP chapter.
Burning issues like Inflation, Rupee weakening and Energy shortage which needs an urgent intervention has also been dealt at length. A new approach to Environment and Natural resources which has been highly politicised has been discussed. I have also recommended structural reforms in Railway and Transportation for improving efficiency. Concluding chapter-on Inclusive Growth, without which reforms are incomplete has also been rightly emphasized. I fairly hope this book will create the required awareness and promote healthy discussions on growth and development of our country.

"It will be the best day, when entire population becomes self-dependent without looking for subsidy. I wish our living standard matches with that of developed countries and we command respect in the world fratemity. I wish I could see my Great India in such an elevated position in my lifetime".
In the present scenario, India is the nation fortunate of having its sixty-five percent of its population of youngsters, which is the highest among countries of the world. To realize this youth potential and utilize it for the growth and development of the nation, is the need of the hour. With reference to this, the book going to be published for spreading economic awareness and positive atmosphere for making better economy will be useful and motivating source.
