At the time of independence, India was a poor country. Nevertheless, the Government saw fit to invest in industry and research. In recent decades the public sector has received a bad press, with pressure to reduce it while increasing the role of the private sector. The public sector is not intrinsically bad, but has often been misused. The ‘market’ and the ‘state’ each have a role in economic development.
