    At the time of India’s first Five Year Plan, the government focused primarily on the agriculture sector. A large part of capital and technology was devoted to increasing agricultural production. This was effective at the time and is now referred to as the green revolution. The success of this plan convinced the Indian Planning Commission to shift their strategy. The NM strategy drew inspiration from the USSR and suddenly focused on rapid industrialisation in the second Five Year Plan rather than the agricultural sector as they had done in the previous plan.…

    In this essay, I try to find an answer to the following question: How can the private sector best serve the unmet needs of India’s people in a sustainable way?

(The World Bank, 2010) The purpose of local economic development programs is to build up the economic capacity of an area to improve its economic future and the quality of life for all. Partners from different sectors work together to collectively achieve goals, although the initiative for LED programs usually comes from the governmental sector.…
