Revisiting Regional Growth Dynamics in India in the Post Economic Reforms Period analyses the state level performance in three sub periods 2000-03, 2004-08 and 2009-12 by broadly corresponding to low growth, high growth and the post crisis phase respectively. The book discusses the game changer initiatives that put India into a higher and sustainable growth trajectory. The author highlights the key challenges to inclusive growth in a federal set up and suggests the way ahead. Apart from growth, the book examines the issue of regional inequality. It develops a consistent index for infrastructure facilities, by encompassing the social and economic dimension for Indian states and analyses the growth. The book analyses the importance of credit and health from a growth perspective by adopting a blend of analytical rigour and econometric techniques to understand India’s growth process. This book is a sequel to Regional Growth Dynamics in India in the Post Economic Reform period (Palgrave Macmillan, 2007).
