Abstract

Growth is less likely to be sustainable with high and/ or growing inequalities and inequality can hamper growth. The need for more inclusive growth has now been recognized in many countries. In India the government programs and strategies since independence have not seriously addressed the exclusion problem despite following the approach of growth with equity. The experience of economic reforms also indicates that while there have been improvement in economic growth, foreign exchange, export growth, IT revolution etc the income distribution has been unequal and only some section of the population benefited more from higher growth and prosperity.
