Almost 20 years have passed since the start of big ticket economic reforms in India. The pace of reforms through the last two decades has been uneven and there is still a long list of items that need urgent attention.I thought it would be interesting to look back and see what has changed since 1991. The most universal benchmark, growth in GDP is a good data point to begin with.
Although the absolute base is still very low, growth in GDP has been impressive. When you start looking at some of the other indicators, the picture gets complicated. Poverty rates, child malnutrition, education , infant mortality, infrastructure development are some of those that come to mind.
This is the start of a series which will take a comprehensive look at all the major development indicators for India since 1991.
