Chapter 1: Introduction
1.2.literature review
An economy (from Greek οίκος – "household" and νέμoμαι –
"manage") is an area of the production, distribution, or trade
and consumption of goods and services by different agents.
Understood in its broadest sense, 'The economy is defined as a
social domain that emphasises the practices, discourses, and
material expressions associated with the production, use, and
management of resources'. Economic agents can be individuals,
businesses, organizations, or governments. Economic
transactions occur when two parties agree to the value or price of
the transacted good or service, commonly expressed in a
certain currency. However, monetary transactions only account
for a small part of the economic domain.
Economic activity is spurred by production which uses natural
resources, labor, and capital. It has changed over time due
to technology (automation, accelerator of process, reduction of
cost functions), innovation (new products, services, processes,
expanding markets, diversification of markets, niche markets,
increases revenue functions) such as, that which produces
intellectual property and changes in industrial relations (for
example, child labor being replaced in some parts of the world
with universal access to education).
1.3.objectives of the study

2.1. History of Indian Economy
-Manmohan Singh
Indeed some kind of chart might be drawn up to indicate the close
connection between length of British rule and progressive growth of
poverty. That rule began with outright plunder, and a land revenue
system which extracted the uttermost farthing not only from the
living but also from the dead cultivators. It was pure loot.
