Agriculture Sector
• India is an agrarian economy.
• Agriculture sector plays a crucial role in Indian economy.
• Agriculture sector is considered to be the backbone of the Indian
economy.
• Nearly 75% of the peoples were depended on agriculture during 1950-
51. It was reduced 56.7% in 2001 and present it was reduced to 52%.
• Majority of the population in our country depends on this sector for
livelihood. Around 52% of the peoples are depending on agriculture
sector because of the fallowing causes.
1. Since there is no encouragement of handicrafts during the British
period. So rural artisans started depending on agriculture.
2. The small and cottage industries could not compete with the
products of large scale industries. So these industries lost their
existence.
3. The growth rate of secondary and tertiary sectors failed in providing
employment opportunities to the growing population.
4. The regional and sect oral mobility of Labour in our country is very
low due to illiteracy and social barriers.
5. Employment creations are not increasing as population grows.
• The above causes are lead to increasing of the dependence on
agriculture sector.
• At the time of 1950-51 Agriculture sector share in National Income
was 55.4%, late it was reduced to 30.9% in 1990-91, 24.7% in 2000-
2001 and 18.5% in 2006-07, 17.8% in 2007-08 and it is 17.1% in
2008-09 (according provisional estimate). But primary sector
contribution is 21.2% in 2008-09. (17.1% agriculture sector + 4.1%
from mining and quarrying)

29
• Agriculture goods contributing 10.6% of our exports. And total 14.5%
foreign reserves are coming through Agricultural products.
• In 2007-08 agricultural sector growth rate was 4.86% and it is only
2.61% in 2008-09.
• Food grain production 51 MT in 1950-51, and is in 2008-09 is 229.85
MT as against 233 MT targets.
Year food grain production
1. 1950-51 51 MT
2. 2000-01 209 MT
3. 2001-02 212.9 MT
4. 2002-03 174.8 MT
5. 2003-04 213.2 MT
6. 2004-05 198.4 MT
7. 2005-06 208.6 MT
8. 2006-07 217.3 MT
9. 2007-08 230.78 MT
10. 2008-09 229.85 MT (target was 233 MT)
• Total 19.2 million tones food grains are buffer stocks in India.
• In 2007-08 the fallowing crops have the yield per hector in India and
having world’s highest yielding countries as fallows.

Crops Yield per hector World’s Highest Country

Paddy 22.02 Quintals 88.80 quintals Egypt
Wheat 28.02 quintals 80.50 quintals Briton
Maize 23.35 quintals 96.50 quintals Italy
Sugar 690.0 quintals 1190.00 quintals Egypt
cane

Causes for low productivity in Agriculture in India:

30
• Utilizing of Older or traditional Equipments.
• Lack of irrigation facilities, it was 18% of total cultivated land in 1950-
51 and 39% in 2002.
• Scarcity of Modern inputs like fertilizers, seeds and pesticides.
• Inequalities in the distribution of land.
• Small size land holdings.
• Defects in land tenure systems.
• Impact of the British regime.
• Pressure of population on agriculture.
• Discouraging rural atmosphere like poverty, land hunger.
• Lack of infrastructure facilities like market, credit, transport etc.

The fallowing Measures are taking by the government to increase the


agriculture productivity.
1. Land reforms
2. Development of infrastructure.
3. Agricultural extension services.
4. Irrigation facilities
5. Farm mechanism
6. Controlling population growth rate
7. Literacy programmes.
8. Increases of Agriculture holdings

Land Reforms
• According UNO land reforms means “the re distribution of land with a
view to safe guard the interests of small, marginal farmers and farm
Labour is called land reforms”.

31
• According Indian planning commission “Any reforms of land, under
taken by the government for agricultural development are called Land
reforms”.

Objectives of Land reforms:


• 1948 all India congress agricultural reforms committee constituted
under the chairmanship of Komarappa. This committee and In 1951
Planning Commission announced the fallowing objectives of Land
Reforms
1. The removal of all restrictions for agriculture development.
2. The elimination of all forms of land exploitation
3. To provide social justice with agrarian system to provide security
for the tiller of soil.
4. To increases agricultural production by implementing land
development activities

Need for Land Reforms:


• For the development of Agriculture sector.
• For the economic development through agriculture sector.
• To increase agriculture productivity.
• To achieve social justice

Salient Features of Land Reforms:


• Government has introducing the Land Reforms after independence for
the welfare of backward people and agriculture development through
Abolition of intermediaries and Tenancy reforms.
Abolition of Intermediaries:

• In 1793 Caraon vallies introduced the Zamindari system

• This is also called permanent settlement

• This system introduced in Bengal, Bihar, Orissa.

32
Tenancy Reforms:
• Tenants are 3 types
1. Occupancy tenants: Permanent tenants (zirayiti rights vunna
tenants)
2. Sub-tenants: (upa kauludarulu): they will take land for rent from
occupancy tenants.
3. Tenants at will: tenants which are without any rights.
• Rent was fixed by various states like the fallowing
1. Assam, Karnataka, Manipur and Tripura states fixed rent
between 1/5 to ¼ share in total production.
2. Gujarat, Maharashtra and Rajasthan states fixed rent between
1/6 to ¼ share total productions.
3. Orissa, Bihar states fixed rent ¼ share total productions.
4. Punjab, Haryana and Jammu and Kashmir state fixed rent with
1/3 share in the total production.
5. Tamilnadu state fixed rent between 33.3% - 40%.
6. Andhra Pradesh state fixed rent 25% to 30% in delta region land
and 20% to 25% in upland region.
• Ceiling on Land Holdings: In 1972 July in Chief Ministers meetings
takes some decision regarding ceilings
1. The ceiling on highly fertile land with assured irrigation facilities,
producing two crops in a year varies from 10 to 18 acres.
2. It should not exceed 27 acres in case of single crop in a year.
3. Other lands the ceiling should not be more than 54 acres.
• The unit of application shall be a family of 5 members. If the number
of members in the family exceeds 5, additional land may be allowed
for each member. How ever it should not exceed twice the normal
ceiling limit.

33
• D.T.Dantwala said that “the land reforms introduced in our country
are in proper direction but the implementation part is not proper”.

Land Utilization in India:


1. Total India Geographical area - 328.72 Million Hectors or
3.287 millions Sqkm -
(32, 87, 263 Sqkm).
2. Total reported area -306.00 Million Hectors.
3. Net cultivated land -166.04 Million Hectors.
4. Land under forests -68.97 Million hectors.
5. Barren and un- cultivable land -19.55 Million hectors.
6. Land not available for cultivation -42.34 Million hectors.
7. Land put to non-agriculture uses -22.80 Million hectors.
8. Land under pastures and trees -9.02 Million hectors.
9. Area sown more than once -30.66 Million hectors.
• Average size of Holding was in India like in the fallowing.
1. In 1970-71 2.28 hectors
2. 1985-86 1.69 hectors
3. 1990-91 1.55 hectors
4. 2000-01 1.35 hectors
• In USA in 2000-01 average land holding size was 122.5 hectors.
• According 1985-86 calculation Rajasthan was having the highest
average holding size with 4.34 hectors, after Rajasthan Punjab having
the second highest with 3.77 hectors and lowest land holding size was
in Kerala with 0.36 hectors.
• In 1990-91 land holding size have like in the fallowing
1. Marginal holdings are called with less than 1 hectors and total
marginal land holdings have 59% in I990-91.
2. Small holdings are called land holding between 1 hectors to 4
hectors and total small land holdings have 32.2% in 1990-91.

34
3. Medium holding are called land holding between 4 hectors to 10
hectors and total medium land holdings have 7.2%.
4. Large holdings are called land holdings between more than 10
hectors and total large holdings have 1.6%.

• Maize: Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Bihar
• Ground Nut: Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Tamilnadu.
• Sun Flower: Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra.
• Sugar Cane: Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and Punjab.

Green Revolution:
• William .S. Gand is the first economist who used the term Green
Revolution in 1968 in German Conference.
• Father of Green Revolution is called Norman Borlaug from Mexico.
• Father of Indian Green Revolution is called M.S. Swaminathan.
• Green revolution means “Achieving revolutionary changes in the
agriculture sector by introducing new techniques of production is called
green revolution”.
• The main objective of the green revolution is to increase the food grain
production.

35
• According to Cowrie and John Green Revolution is also called in India
as Seed Fertilizer Revolution.
Causes for the Green Revolution:
1) Intensive Agriculture District Programme (IADP): This is started by
the central government in 1960-61. Mainly three districts were selected
under this programme as a pilot study. These are one is Ludhiana district
in Punjab, West Godavari district Andhra Pradesh and Tanjavore in
Tamilnadu. Later it was extended to 7 districts. These are
I. West Godavari district in Andhra Pradesh
II. Shabaad district in Bihar
III. Raipur district in Chhattisgarh
IV. Tanjavore district in Tamilnadu
The above 4 districts concentrated for Paddy
V. Ludhiana district in Punjab
VI. Aligarh district in Uttar Pradesh

The above 2 districts concentrated for Wheat


VII.Paali district in Rajasthan, this district
concentrated for Jowar.
2) Intensive Agriculture Area Programme (IAAP): this programme
started in 1964-65. Intensive Agriculture District Programme extended to
114 districts in this part of programme.
3) High Yielding Variety Programme (HYVP): It was started by central
government in 1966-67 to increase food grain production. With Joint
Efforts Of Indian Council of Agriculture Research (ICAR) and Agricultural
universities in the Punjab, various types of hybrid seeds have been
innovated.

36
4) Introduction of Crops with Short Gestation Period: ICAR and
ICRISAT are trying to produce short gestation period seeds of paddy,
wheat and maize
5) In 1965-66 multi crop system started.
• Most benefited crops of Green Revolutions are Wheat, Paddy, Jowar,
Maize Ground nut, Oilseeds, Cotton and Sugar cane.
• The benefits of green revolution are limited only to some regions like
Punjab, Haryana and Andhra Pradesh.
• In 1963 National Seed Corporation started by government to produce
qualitative seeds.
• In 1969 started State Farm Corporation of India to produce
qualitative seeds.

Irrigation
• Out of total Water resources 83% of water consuming agriculture
sector, 4.5% of water consuming for house hold sector, 2.7% of
water consuming for electricity and 8% of water for other purposes.

• In 1995-96 Rural Infrastructure Development Fund (RIDF)


established by NABARD to increase the irrigation facilities
• In 1996-97 government started Accelerated Irrigation Benefits
Programme (AIBP). The main objective of AIBP is to complete
projects in the states with cooperation of central government.
• In India total 141.23 million hectors having irrigation capacity. This
is 43% in total India’s geographical area.
• In 1951 total 22.6 million hectors irrigation is providing and 81.1
MH provided at the time of 1991-92.
• Irrigation capacity is 102.8 million hectors at the end of 10th five
year plan but actual consumption only 87.2.MH.
• Central government is targeted to provide irrigation to 114 mh by
the end of 2010.

37
Irrigation projects:
• Before 1978-79 irrigation projects were divided into three types
based on the investment to construct the projects.
1. Large scale irrigation project: more than Rs.5 crores
2. Medium scale irrigation projects: between Rs.25 lacks to Rs. 5
crores.
3. Small scale irrigation projects: less than Rs.25 lacks.
• Since 1978-79 irrigation projects were divided into three types
based on the irrigation capacity of the projects.
1. Large irrigation projects: more than 10, 000 hectares irrigation
facility projects are called heavy irrigation projects.
2. Middle irrigation projects: if irrigation facility is between 2000
hectares to 10,000 hectares.
3. Small scale irrigation projects: less than 2000 hectares.
• Irrigation sources are like in the fallowing in India.
S.N Irrigation Sources 1950-51 2005-06 2007-08
O irrigated irrigated Irrigated

1 Canals 40% 31.5% 29%
2 Wells (open & bore 29% 58.7% 60%
wells)
3 Tanks 17% 4.7% 5.81%
4 Others 14% 5.1% 5.19%
• Canals: UP, Punjab, Haryana, AP and Tamilnadu
• Wells: UP, Punjab, Haryana and Bihar.
• Tanks: AP, Tamilnadu, Orissa and Karnataka.
Agriculture Marketing
• Agricultural marketing can be classified into different stages in India.

38
1. Assembling: the out put of various farmers should be brought to
one place is called Assembling.
2. Transportation: the farm products should be transported from
the actual farms to the markets to make them available. This is
termed as transportation.
3. Grading: All the assembled products should be graded according
to the quality and durability. This process is called grading.
4. Sampling: Sample should be collected from the graded products
for standardization. This process of taking samples is called
sampling.
5. Processing: All the farm products should be made use full for
direct consumption. This is called processing.
6. Packing: The processed farm products should be packed properly
to ensure better quality. This process is called packing.
7. Storing: All he farm products cannot be sold in the market
immediately. Some of these products should be stored until
appropriate prices are obtained.
• Defects in Indian Agricultural Marketing:
1. Lack of Transport facilities
2. Lack of Storage facilities
3. Existence of Middle man in the markets
4. Malpractices in the markets.
5. Lack of Grading facilities
6. Lack of organization among the farmers.

• Remedial Measures:
1. Regulate Markets: Regulated markets were started in 1951 with
200 markets and these were increase to 90, 200 in December

39
2000. Present 70% agricultural products selling in the regulated
markets.
2. Co-operative Farming: Co-operative farming is supporting by
Government and Reserve Bank of India through National Co-
operative Development Corporation.
3. Contract Farming is encouraging to get benefits small and marginal
farmers
4. Rythu Bazaars are started by Andhra Pradesh government to sell
products farmers directly.
5. Other facilities like AGMARK is providing by increasing grading
facilities. Grading facilities centers are started by central
government in India some places like Jaipur, Bhopal, Chandigarh,
Bhubaneswar and Shillong.
6. Warehousing facilities constructed by central government to store
the agricultural product up to beneficial prices available to farmers.
7. Transport and communication facilities are providing by the
government to increase the market facilities.

Agricultural Credit:
• All India credit survey committee divided the credit based on
time into three times.
• According this committee farmers need credit for three
necessaries one is Short term credit necessaries, second is
Medium credit Necessaries and Long- Term Credit necessaries.
1. Short –Term credit: this credit is necessary to purchase
seeds, fertilizers, pesticides and to hire the Labour and to
bear the Transportation cost. This credit period is between
6 months to one year.
2. Medium Term Credit: this is necessary to purchase cattle
and farm tools. This credit period is between 1 to 5 years.

40
3. Long-Term Credit: this to purchase new farm land,
Machinery like pump sets, tractors, to take up soil
conservation and land development activities.
• In 1951 Reserve Bank of India established All India Rural Agricultural
Credit Survey to give suggestions and to increase institutional credit.
And this committee recommended 3 tier co-operative system in the
country. According this committee recommendation imperial bank of
India changed as State Bank of India and agricultural credit.
• In 1963 RBI established Agricultural Refinance society to increase
institutional credit for agricultural sector.
• in 1964 government established National Agriculture Credit Council
under chairmanship of Dr. D.R.Gadgil and this committee
recommended area approach in credit.
• In 1969 total 14 banks nationalized to increase institutional credit for
agriculture.
• In 1969 Lead Bank scheme started based on the recommendation of
Nariman committee.
• In 1972 government started dual interest rate.
• Sources of Agricultural Credit:
• Agricultural credits are two types one is Institutional credit and
second is non-institutional credit.
1. Institutional Credit: commercial banks, Co-operative banks,
Regional Rural banks and Government etc are come under
institutional credit.
2. Non- Institutional Credit: Money lenders, Land lords,
traders and Commission agents, friends and relatives are
come under non-institutional credit.

Agricultural subsidies
• According WTO subsidies should not cross 10%, but in India
subsidies not reached 15%.
• In 2004 Geneva conference decided that 5% developed countries
and 10% subsidies for developing countries.
• Agricultural subsidies are two types
• One is Food subsidies
• Second is Fertilizer subsidies
• Food subsidies giving to farmers by giving Minimum Support Price
(MSP) and purchasing the food grains through Food Corporation of
India.

• Like low income – low level of saving – low capital formation – low
investment – low employment – low level of income.

ECONOMIC IMPACT OF THE BRITISH RULE


• After the battle of plassy and bauxar, the Indian economy was
transformed from a surplus and self-sufficient economy into a colonial
economy.
Land Systems During British Period
1. ZAMINDARI SYSTEM: in 173 Karan walis introduce this system
as permanent settlement. Zamindari power given to hereditary
Bengal , Bihar and Orissa this system was there
2. Mahalwari system: in 1800 Sir mekanji recommended this
system, ayodhya, goa, central India it was there
3. Rytwari system: it was introduced in 1802. Madras and Mumbai
it was there, it introduced by Thomas Munro as a collector of
ceded districts.

British colonial exploitation in India can be broadly divided into 3 stages or


3 periods.
1. First stage or the period of mercantilist phase.
• This period is between 1757 and 1813.
• During this period EIC completely monopolized trade and began the
direct plunder of Indian wealth the company used its political power to
dictate terms to the weavers of Bengal who were forced to sell their
products at a low prices.
• The basic aim of British administration in India was to transform
Indian sub-continent as a consumer market for British finished goods.
2. The second stage: 1813 to 1858.
• The Indian handi craft fell after 1813, when the Indians traders last
foreign markets and domestic markets.
• This stage was called industrial phase, which was lead to the drain
of Indian wealth for the interest of British industry
95
• The industrial revolution in British has completely transformed
Britons economy and its economic relationship with India.
• During this period British imported raw materials from India and
brought back manufactured goods to India.
• The doors of India were open to foreign trade but the Indian
products had to compete with British products with heavy import
duties on entry into Briton.
• During this period Indian sugar had to pay on entry into Briton 3
times of price. some time it was 400% more high.
• So India was forced to export raw materials instead of exporting
manufactured goods.
• India exported only raw cotton, jute, silk, oilseeds, wheat, indigo
and tea.
3. The third stage:
• This stage is also called finance colonialism
• It was started after 1860
• The 1857 revolution was basic factor to change the nature of
colonialism.
• The Britishers constructed roads, railways, post offices and
telegraph, banking to meet their social and commercial needs.
• British capitalist invested money on various activities
• As a result the Indian public debt increased to British so India
became a real colony to British.

Commercialization of Agriculture:
• Before Britishers entered to India, India was a self sufficient of food
grains but during the British period Famines occurred due to
commercialization of agriculture.

96
• Indigo: two types of indigo cultivators
I. nij: Directly under the supervision of British investors.
II.Zirat or Raiyyati: where the farmers were forced to grow it.
• Tinka tiya system: where the peasants were forced to grow indigo on
3/20 per bigha.

Deindustrialization:
• The industrial revolution in Briton transformed the position of the
industries in India.
• In 1813, monopoly abolished on trade and started Lassies Faire
• There was no tariff to protect the Indian industries
• But there were high tariffs in Briton to Indian goods.
• It was one side free trade
• Indian exports reduced rapidly due to their policy
• According to Amiya Bagahi the % of the people depends on industries
reduced from 18.5% in 1809-13 to 8% in 1901.
• Due decline of handi crafts, the dependence of agriculture increased
from 55% in 1931 to 72% in 1951
• Due to de-industrialization the artisans were forced to migrate to
villages as landless laborers.

Transport:
• Lord Dalhousie initiated a programme of wide railway construction in
India.
• In his famous mint on railways, he defined the economic reason
behind the railway construction
• In 1853 Bombay to thane started the first railway line
• By 1905 nearly 45,000 Kms of railways had been built
• Nearly 350 cores invested by British capitalist with very high rate of
interests.
• During the 1850 Land revenue was – 50%
97
• Opium-17%
• Salt-7%
• Costoms-8%
• Excise-4%
• Income or license tax -0.3%
• Public expenditure increased around 41.9% in 1881-82
• During Curzon period it was increased by 51.9%
• Civil administration including legislative, judiciary, pensions etc
accounted for about 25% of the total public expenditure.
• Between 1875-76 to 1898-99 the home charges amounted to 16% of
the current revenue and it was increased to 33% in 1933.

The drain off wealth


• The drain of wealth explained by dadabai Naroji, R.C.Dutt, R.P.Dutt
and Bipin Chandra.
• Dadabai Naouroji brought it to light in his book titled poverty and un
British rule in India.
• R.C.Dutt – economic history of India
• R.P.Dutt – India to day
• Industrial evolution of India- D.R.Gadgil
• Famines in India – B.M.Bhatia
• Colonialism and metrolisem- bipin Chandra
• After plassy was drain was started
• But after 1858 the drain of wealth increased more
• Drain of wealth took place through various forms, like
I. Home charges after 1857 this was constituted 24% of the total
revenue in India
II. Civil and military charges
III. Interests on foreign capital investments
• According dadabai naouroji30% to 40% drain per annum

98
• According Prof. C.N.Venkil- the drain of wealth was rs.591 million from
1834 to 1924.
• During 1757-65 company officials expenditure was £6 million

MONEY

The exchange of goods is called Barter System


Barter means in which goods or services are directly exchanged for other
goods and/or services, without the use of money.
Barter system was existed when money was not in a circulation, there was a
less economic activities and less desires of the people.
The barter system of exchange had many problems such as lack of double
coincidence of wants, difficulty in establishing exchange rates among
commodities to be exchanged, difficulty in the fine divisibility of goods and
storing of goods for future use. In order to eliminate these problems money
was introduced.
The word MONEY derived from Latin word MANETA (may be this word used
because coins printed at Maneta goddess temple).

Definitions

1. Money is what money does —WAKER


2. Money is one that possesses general acceptability -- SELIGMAN
3. Anything that is generally acceptable as a means of exchange and the
same time acts as a measure of value – CROWTHER
4. Anything which is widely accepted in payment for goods or in
discharge of other kinds of business of obligations —ROBERTSON
5. Money that delivery of which debt-contracts and prices contracts are
discharged and in the shape of which a store of general purchasing
power is held —J.M.KEYENS
6. Money is a temporary purchasing power of the house – Milton
Friedman.
7.
Different types of Money:

1. Commodity Money: Food grins, animals, cowries, cows and skin of


animal
2. Metallic Money: If the metal used for as a currency is called metallic
money. Ex: Copper, silver, iron and gold are called metallic money.
This type of money again divided into 3 types.
• Full body or Standard money: If the metal internal and face
value is equal that is called full bodied money in India between
1835 and 1893 this type of was in a circulation.
• Token Money: Internal value is more than the face value.

114
• Denominators money: To use the small transactions.

3 Paper currency: Paper currency again divided into different types

• Representative paper currency: This currency has 100%


metallic value. If we want it can convert into paper currency into
metal. Ex; Gold.
• Convertible paper currency: If we want convert paper
currency into metal we can change it. So we have to maintain
the existence of metal.
• Inconvertible paper currency: in case of this paper currency,
currency will issue without any relation with metal. Currency
cannot change into metal. So this type of paper currency is not
necessary to maintain metal value ratio. This paper currency
again divided into two types.

1. Fiat Money: Currency which is legally decreed as valid


means of financing transactions. This type of money may
issued by the govt in emergency period.
2. Credit money: it is also called bank money. Cheques,
drafts etc. are called credit money.

1. Acceptability Criterion: Based on the acceptability money divided


into 2 types first is Legal Tender Money and Optional Money.

a. Legal Tender Money: Legal tender money, which is legally


made acceptable as a medium of exchange is called legal tender
money. The state and the people accept it as means of payment
to discharge their debts. All currency notes and coins issued by
the central government or central bank are legal tender money.
Cheques are not legal tender money because it may or may not
be accepted by the public. Legal tender money again divided
into unlimited legal money and Limited legal tender
money. In case of unlimited tender money people have to
accept all type notes, Rupee coins and ½ Rupee coins for the
repayments of debts. In case of limited legal tender money there
is some restrictions in case of repayments the loans. Ex; creditor
may not accept if 4000 25 Paise pays to repay Rs.1000 by the
debtor. 25 Paise can pay up to Rs.25 only. But present 25 Paise
is not in a use in India.

b. Optional Money: This type of money will not issued by central


bank or government. It doesn’t have any legal tender.

115
Debentures, securities, Certificates issued by post-offices,
Insurance papers, Cheques, Drafts etc. bank money are known
as optional money.

5. Others:

• Near money: The financial assets which do not come under the
definition of money but which can be readily convertible into
medium of exchange are called Near Money. Ex; Bonds,
Cheques, Shares, Drafts etc.
• Hot money: Funds which flow into a country to take advantage
of favorable rates of interest in that country. This is also called
Head money. Because of Hot money country will get financial
crisis.
• Cheap Money: In which loans and advances are made available
on low interest rates.
• Dear Money: In which loans and advances are made available
on high interest rates. It will help to control inflation in the
economy. It is also called tight money.
• High Powered Money: The money which is under the control
of RBI is called High Powered Money.
• Call Money: This money will repay within 14 days. Commercial
banks which are having deficit money reserves will take loans
from others banks which are having more money reserves.
• Account Money: J.M.Keynes divided money into Account money
and actual money. Avarja money (Account money) it is money
using for to maintain the account. Ex: rupee, found, $. Actual
Money: (Vyavaharika money) Present circulation money is
called actual money.
• Fiduciary Money: (Viswasam) present in India currency
printing based on the minimum reserve ratio. If the currency will
print based on the belief on Govt, central bank.
]
The characteristics of good money:
1. Cognoscibility it has to identify easily
2. Acceptability by all
3. Portability it mean easy transportable.
4. Divisibility it has to divide into various types
5. Utility or Value because of this only gold and silver used as currency
6. Durability if there is no durability money can’t reserve for long time.
7. Stability money value will not change in short period
8. Elasticity.

116
Functions of money
Money plays a vital role in modern exchange of economy. A modern
economy is rightly known as monetary economy because of the crucial
position money occupies in this economy. Today it is impossible to think of
any economic activity without the intervention of money. Money occupies a
key position by virtue of its functions.
The functions of money is divided into three types

• Primary Functions
• Secondary Functions
• Subsidiary Functions

(1).Primary Functions: Primary money does two types of functions (a)


Medium of Exchange (b) Measure of Value

(a) Medium of Exchange: The most important function of money is to


serve as medium of exchange. The importance of this function is better
understood if we focus on the problems of barter system. In a barter system
all exchanges are made in physical term which means that goods are
exchanged for goods. For an example to take place barter economy needs
what is known as double coincidence of wants. A possessor of good must
have information about the existence of a seller who would offer him the
goods that he desires and is ready to accept his good in exchange. Where as
in a money economy a person can easily transfer goods and services for
money and then exchange money for goods and services that he needs.

(b) Measure of Value: Money serves as a yardstick for measuring the


value of goods and services. Just as we use yards to measure length,
kilograms to measure weight, money is used to measure the value of goods
and services. It is possible to compare the relative value of different goods in
a money economy. When the values of goods and services are expressed in
terms of money, they become prices. A money economy is more efficient
than a barter economy because the former has a standard value.

(2).Secondary Functions: Along with the above the primary functions


money does these functions called secondary functions. These are (a) Store
of Value (b) Standard for deferred Payments & Transfer of Value.

(a) Store of Value: Money as a measure of value provides a liquid store of


value. Money has general purchasing power over all goods and services. So
people prefer to keep their assts in the form of money. In a barter system it
is difficult to store wealth for future use. Most of the goods like paddy, wheat
gets spoiled and the value of most of the commodities diminish with the

117
passage of time. But the value of money can be kept stable for a long time.
It is also provides assurance that future buying opportunities can be
exploited. Money would perform the store of value function more effectively
if its value remains stable.

(b) Standard for deferred Payments & Transfer of Value: Money


serves as a measure of deferred payments. Deferred payments refer to
future payments. As much money is helpful not only in current transactions
but also in conducting future transactions. Thus money acts as a bridge from
the present to the future i.e. an efficient store of value. Often people engage
in exchange that involve payments over some period of time. There will be
an inherent inconvenience in the receipt of payments at a later date because
people prefer liquidity in shorter time over liquidity in a longer time. To
measure this inconvenience and pay for their waiting time money is useful.
By providing a unit for measuring debts, money facilitates lending,
borrowing and hires purchasing of transactions. If money is to serve as a fair
and correct standard of deferred payments, its value must remain stable.

(3) Subsidiary Functions: According the Prof. Kinley, Money does the
following subsidiary functions along with the primary and secondary
functions.
• Money will provide Liquidity
• It creates credit
• It will measure the National Income
• Money will distribute the NI among the factors of productions
• Money will determine the value of goods
• Money will act as a major role in daily transactions for
According Paul N Jing the functions of money are divided into two types (1)
Static Functions, in which medium of exchange, Measure of Value, store of
value and standard for deferred payments. Due to these functions only price
mechanism will constitute in economy but due to static functions economy of
any country will not develop. (2) Dynamic functions, in which price level,
productions, consumption and distributions are influence the economy.

Money supply:
Money supply means “Total stock of money held by public in spendable
form”
Classical definition: according this definition the function of money will
confined to only medium of exchange.
• MS= C + DD

Chicago economist definition: “Money is any thing that serves the


function of providing a temporary house of purchasing power”
• MS= C + DD + +TD.

118
Gurley & Shah:
• MS = C + DD + TD + Loans and advances which are made by other
than the banks + saving deposits + bonds.

Rad Cliph: “money supply covers the whole liquidity position that is relevant
to spending decisions” (costs nirnayalaku sambandhinchina total liquidity
stithini money supply antaru) so this method is also called liquidity method.
According Radcliph and Gurley & Shah it is a part of total liquidity. C+ DD +
TD+ Loans and advances & bonds,which are made by other than the banks
known as intermediaries.

Money supply in India:


Before 1967-68 money supply scope was very less. It was used only C +
DD.
In 1967-68 the scope of money supply increased in India. MS = C + DD +
TD. The word aggregate monetary resources used in money supply.
In 1977 RBI introduced 4 type of money supply in India.
M1 = Money with public (currency notes and coins) + Demand deposits of
banks (current and saving deposits of all banks) + other deposits with RBI.
(C + DD + OD)
• M1 is called narrow money
• M1 having highest liquidity
• M1 is equal to classical definition of money supply.
M2 = M1 + saving deposits with Post- offices.
M3 = M1 + Time deposits with banks (fixed or time deposits). (C + DD + OD
+ TD)
• M3 is called broad money
• It is equal to Chicago economists definition of money supply

M4 = M3 + all deposits of post- offices


M1 measures the most liquid form of money among 4 money stock measures
and it is known as NARROW MONEY. M4 possesses the lowest liquidity among
these 4. And M3 is the most important component among all money stock
measures which is generally termed as BROAD MONEY.
The working group under the chairmanship of Dr. Y.V. Reddy, Deputy
Governor of RBI, has suggested major changes in money stock measures.
This working group was constituted in December 1997, which submitted its
recommendations to RBI on June 23, 1998. The group suggested four new
money measures (M0, M1, M2, and M3) and three liquidity measures (L1, L2,
L3). Besides the group also recommended the publishing of financial sector
survey after every three months to capture the dynamic linkages between
banks and rest of the organized financial sector.

119
Monetary Aggregates:

M0 = Currency in circulation + Bankers deposits with RBI + other deposits


with RBI. It is equal to old M1.
M1 = Currency with public + Demand or Current Deposits with banks + other
deposits with RBI (Currency with the public + Current deposits with the
banking system + demand liabilities portion of Saving deposits with the
banking system + other deposits with the RBI)
M2 = M1 + Time liabilities portion of savings deposits with the banking
system + Certificates of deposit issued by banks + Certificates of deposit
issued by banks + Term deposits maturing within one year.
M3 = M2 + Term deposits of residents with a contractual maturity of over
one year with banks + Call borrowing from Non- Depositary Financial
Corporations by the banking system.
Liquidity Aggregates:
L1 = New M3 + all deposits of post- office savings banks excluding National
saving Certificates.
L2 = L1 + Term deposits with term lending institutions and refinancing
institutions + Term borrowing by financial institutions + Certificates of
deposit issued by financial institutions.
L3 = L2 + Public deposits of Non- Banking Financial Companies.

Determinants of Money supply:

1. Monetary base or high powered money (it is under the control of


RBI). It is also called Primary Money. (C+ DD + TD + OD + CR)
2. money multiplier (MS = RM x Money multiplier)
3. Reserve ratio (Which is reserved in the RBI in the name of CRR)
4. Currency ratio (cash which are there in the banks SLR)
5. Belief on bank money
6. time deposits ratio
7. Economic growth (EG increases MS also increases)
8. Money value (If the money value is high MS also increases)
9. Real income (If real income increase MS also increases)
10. Interest rates
11. Monetary policy
12. Economic position (Prosperity and depression)

Money Multiplier

In any economy there are so many factors to determine Money supply.


Among them Reserve Money is most important factor.

120
Money Multiplier means “the amount by which a change in the monetary
base is multiplied to determine the resulting change”
Money multiplier explains that the money supply is how many times more
than the RM. That means it will explain the ratio between the money supply
and RM.
RM means the money which is reserved in the RBI.
M = M/RM
RM = C + DD + CR.(Cash reserves)
For M1 (Narrow money) m = M1/RM
For M3 (Broad money) m = M3/RM
If CR increases RM will increase,
If RM will increase m will decrease
If m will decrease MS will decrease.
In the following table showed money multiplier for selected years.

Year M3 (Rs.in RM (Rs.in Multiplier


crore) crore) (m3)
1980-81 55,770 19,450 2.88
1990-91 265830 87780 (33%) 3.0

(21%)
2006-07 3310278 652687 5.07
(19.7%)

Velocity of money: It means the speed at which money is transferred from


one person to anther person or circulating through the economy in a
particular period of time.
The velocity of money supply will determined by
1. money supply or quantity of money
2. credit institutions
3. cash transactions
4. Consumption propensity: according Keynes velocity of money will
increase if the consumption will increase.
5. Economic position: during inflation velocity of money supply will
increase.
6. Distribution of income: if money has held with rich person velocity of
money will be low.
Quantity Theories of Money:
1. According economists opinion in economy always quantity of money is
equal to quantity of goods.
2. First time quantity of theory of money was explained by Davan Jatti,
Italian economist in 1588.
121
3. Father of quantity theory money is Jean Bodin, A French Economist.

Quantity theory of money can be discuss in four stages.

1. Classical or Fisher quantity theory of money.


2. Neo-classical quantity theory of money or Cambridge quantity theory
of money.
3. Keynes quantity theory of money
4. Friedman quantity theory of money

1.Fisher theory of money: American economist called Irving Fisher


explained his quantity theory of money in his book called Purchasing Power
of Money, 1911.
MV = PQ + P1Q1 + P2Q2 + - - - PnQn.
MV = ∑PQ or MV = PT
In the above formula MV is related for money.
PT is related for goods.
Fisher formula = MV= PT
M= Money supply which is in circulation
V= Velocity of Circulation of Money
P= Price level
T= Transactions
M x V = Money supply
P x T = Money demand
MV (Money supply) = PT (Demand for money)
P = MV/T
After changing fisher theory the formula formulated as
MV + M1V1 = PT or
P = MV + M1V1/T
M1= credit money
V1= credit money velocity.
• According him price level or money value is always depending on
Money supply.
• Because according him in any economy prices will increase when
quantity of money will increase without increasing commodity.
• Fisher theory of money will also know as classical theory of money.
• Fisher theory will tell the relation between the money supply and
prices.
• There is positive relation between Quantity of money or money supply
and price level.
• According him demand for money is depending on T, P, and V.
• According his theory quantity of money increase double prices also
increases double. If quantity of money will decrease double price level
also decreases double.

122
• MV=PT
• If Money supply (M) multiplies with velocity of money (V) we get
aggregate money supply.
• If price level (P) multiply with transaction (T) we get the aggregate
demand.
• So aggregate demand is equal to aggregate supply
• According him money supply determined by central bank so T is
depending on his income. So Y increases T increase if Y decrees T also
decrees.
• But in an economy full employment is there according classical
economists so y is fixed.
• According his theory money value is depending on money supply and
demand for money

2. Cambridge quantity theories of Money:

• Cambridge students, Marshal, Pigou, Robertson, Keynes etc. and their


theories are called Cambridge theories of quantity theory of money.
• They developed their theories based on the cash reserves.
• So this theory is also called Cash Balances Quantity theory of money
• According them the value of money will depend on Money supply and
demand for money.
• Cambridge economists said that where the money supply and demand
for money will be equal the value of money will determine.
• According Fisher people will demand money for business transactions.
• But according Cambridge economists’ people will demand money for
expected and unexpected future requirement for transactions and
speculative purposes.
• According this theory there is negative relation ship between the
quantity of money and value of money.
• there is positive relations ship between prices and quantity of money.

(a) Marshal Formula = M=Ky

• M= Money supply
• Y= Real National Income
• K= the portion money which is reserved by people out the total real
income.
• From Marshal Formula we can know the Purchasing power of the
money or value of money.
• P = Ky/M
• P= Purchasing power of money.
• According Marshal the value of Money is depending not only on Money
supply (M) but also K.

123
• K is more impacting the Purchasing power of money (P)
• Marshal gave more important to K than the M to determine the money
value.

(b) A.C. Pigou Formula:

• P = KR/M
• P = Purchasing power of money or Money value.
• R = Aggregate real income.
• K = the portion money which is reserved by people out the total real
income.
• M = total cash reserves of society or people or money supply.
• According Pigou If MS increase the purchasing power of Money is
decreases, MS decrease purchasing power of money increases.
• There is opposite relationship between money supply and purchasing
power.
• We are explaining the P as purchasing power of the money. If we show
the P as prices then we have to write P = M/KR.
• Pigou gave more important to K.
• If prices reduce K will increase.
• If prices increase K is going to reduce.

(c) Robertson Formula:

• P = M/KT
• P = Price level
• M= money supply
• T= Total goods services within one year.
• K = the portion of money which is reserved out of T.
• According him there is a positive relationship between P and M,
• because prices will increases when money supply increase
• and prices will come down when money supply will decrease.
• At the same time the is a negative relationship between P and K or T
• Robertson formula is close to fisher formula.

(d) Keynes Formula:

• Before 1936, means before publishing the general theory we


considered as neo - classical economists.
• N = PK or
• P = N/K
• N= Total money supply
• P= consumer goods prices.
• K= the portion money to reserve out of income.

124
• There is positive relation between N and P
• Keynes theory of money is also known as income theory and saving
investment theory.
• According Keynes the cause to change aggregate demand is income
not Money supply.
• So the value of money (price level) in fact is the consequence of the
aggregate income rather than the supply of money.
• According him income is two types (1) money income (2) real income
• Y=C+S
• According him people will spend money on two commodities (1)
Consumers goods (2) Capital Goods.
• It means Aggregate Income = Aggregate expenditure
• Y=C+I
• Y=C+S
• I=Y-C
• S=Y-C
• So that S=T
• According Keynes Investment Is More Than The Saving, Then
Productivity, Production And Income Increases Result Is Saving Also
Increases.
• So Saving Increase Equal To Investment
• Keynesian income quantity theory of money is related to short-run
period only

(3) M. Friedman Theory:

• Friedman belongs to Chicago University


• His theory is called theory of demand for money.
• In 1956 “The quantity theory of money – restatement” book he
explained the quantity theory of money.
• According him demand for money depending on 4 things.
1. General Price level.
2. Real income
3. Current rate of interest.
4. Increasing rate of general prices.
• According Friedman there is positive and equal relation ship between
prices and demand for money. Ex 10 % p increases demand for also
increase 10%.
• According him there is a positive relation ship between real income
and demand for money.
• Negative relationship is between rate of interest and demand for
money.
• There also negative relation between demand for money and general
price increase rate.

125
• According Friedman income and price changes are not changing the
money supply

W.J.Baumol:

• According to him income of individual and firms’ income may not be


equal to their income.
• There must be an Inventory (stock) or demand of cash in hand
• The firms and individuals always try to minimize the cost of holding
money for their transaction purpose.
• These costs are called opportunity cost or withdrawal costs.
• The opportunity cost is represented by current rate of interest (I)
• The problem of transaction demand for money is, then the problem of
determining the optimal amount of cash the individual will hold.
• In order to solve that problem of optimum balances of money to be
held at minimal cost.
• He evolve the formula to determine the size of cash withdrawals
(conversions of bonds to money), which would minimize the total cost
of keeping an inventory of optimal cash balances large enough to meet
transaction demand.
• Formula is C = 2bt/i
• C= optimal withdrawal of cash, t= is the total transaction in the given
period, b= is the cost associated with conversion of earning assets into
cash, i= is the rate of interest.
• Optimum level of transaction of cash varies inversely with the level of
transaction costs.

Tobin’s model of portfolio Balance (Asset Choice):

• His demand analysis of the demand for money shows that the real
demand for money will vary inversely with the rate of interest
• And the real demand for money positively with the level of output.

Inflation

Continuously increasing general prices is called inflation. Inflation is a


situation in which general price level rises or it is the same thing as saying
that the value of money falls. Continuously rise in prices caused by an
increase in the money supply. It is the situation where amount of money in
the country in an excess of the volume of goods available.

126
Definitions of Inflation:

• Issue of too much currency is inflation – Prof.Hawtrey.


• Too much money is chasing too few goods is called inflation – Dalton.
And Colborn.
• Persistent and appreciable rise in the general or average of price is
called inflation – Gardner Ackley
• Inflation occurs when the volume of money increases faster than the
available supply of goods – Irving Fisher.
• Inflation is a phenomenon which is always and every where a
monetary phenomenon – M. Friedman
• It is a state in which the value of money is falling i.e. prices are rising
is called inflation – Crowther.

Types of inflation:

• Creeping inflation: It is known as mildest inflation. According to Kent


in this inflation prices will not increase more than the 3% a year.
• Walking Inflation: Here the rise in the price level is 4% to 5%.
• Running Inflation: Price level increases around 10%
• Hyper or Galloping Inflation: When price rise rapidly we call it as hyper
inflation. Price level increase more than the 10% and there is no upper
limit.
• Suppressed Inflation: If the inflation is suppressed by the government
controls and rationing price will decrease. When controls are lifted
prices rise again.
• Stagflation: in case of stagflation economic activity will come down,
but wage and price continue to rise. This is also called inflationary
recession.
Inflation + Stagnation = Stagflation.
• Reflation: In a situation where there are large number of unemployed
men and unutilized resources, the level of employment in the economy
can be increased by raising the level of aggregate demand.
• Deflation: it is a state of falling prices on account of insufficient of
effective demand.
• Disinflation: Without effecting production and employment prices will
fall.
• True Inflation: If the price will increase after full employment level is
called true inflation

• Inflationary Gap = Net Disposable income – Real goods services of


production.

Inflationary Gap = 200 – 180 =20

Causes for inflation:


• Demand push inflation: price increases when aggregate demand is
more than the aggregate supply. This type of inflation will occur in the
country when there is full employment equilibrium.
• Cost-push inflation: It arises due to an increase in cost of production.
Such type of inflation is caused by four factors. 1. An increase in
wages, 2. An increase in the profit margin 3. Imposition of heavy
taxation and 4. A rise in raw material price.
• Mixed inflation:
• If the Government expenditure increase on unproductively activities
like war, production not increase but money supply increase. So
demand for goods increases the price increases.
• When the country increases exports domestic goods circulation
decreases because of scarcity of goods prices rises.
• Population
• Traders reserve the goods in ware houses.

From demand side:

1. Increasing govt expenditure


2. increasing population
3. deficit budgeting
4. people consumption increasing
5. increasing exports
6. internal debt repaying
7. money supply increasing

From Supply side:


1. Natural calamity
2. scarcity of factors of production supply

128
3. if the traders store the goods
4. high rate of wages
5. high rate of taxes
6. if the organizers take the more profits

Effects of Inflation:
Out put: The effect of inflation on output depends on whether it is moderate
or very rapid. Creeping inflation has favorable effect on production
particularly when there are unemployed resources in the country. Once full
employment is reached, further increase in prices will not increase output
and employment. When inflation is rapid it creates business uncertainty and
adversely affects production.
Distribution:
Debtors Get benefits and Creditors get Lose
Salaried class: Lose
Fixed Income Class: Lose
Producers get benefit
Traders get benefit and consumers get losses
Investors: Share market investors (share holders) get gain and fixed
investors are lose
Farmers: Landlord those are given land for rent loses during rising prices
because they get fixed rents. But own cultivating land lords and tenants gets
gain
BOP: During inflation BOP is unfavorable to country because this time prices
domestic goods prices will increase so imports will increase and exports will
decrease.

Phillips curve: The A.W Phillips (British economist in 1958) curves examine
the relationship between Inflation and Unemployment. In any economy to
get price stability without inflation there must be more unemployment rate.
This curve tell that the relationship between the money wages and rate of
unemployment. According him if money wages increase unemployment rate
will decrease, and money wages decrease unemployment rate will increase.
So there is inverse or opposite relationship between money wages and rate
of unemployment. Because, if there is a high rate of unemployment, people
want more employment they will not demand high wages. According
M.Friedman but this is related to short run period.

Measures of Inflation:

WPI: It is also known as the producer Price index (PPI). It is similar to CPI
In construction. It measures the prices of some over 2000 commodities at
level of their first transactions. To measure inflation based on the WPI base
year is (1993-94) 2000-01 from April 1, 2006. To measure inflation through

129
WPI primary goods, energy, fuel, lubricants goods and manufacturing goods
are taking. 63.75% weighting is giving for manufacturing goods.
CPI: This index is designed to reflect changes in the prices of a Market
basket of consumer goods and services purchased by all urban
consumers.2001 (1982 is previous base year) is base year to measure
inflation with CPI. A single index is calculated for all the goods and services
in the basket as well as separate indices for groups of items like food,
housing etc.

Items Weighting for CPI 2001 is base


year
FOOD 46.19
Pan, tobacco, and intoxicants 2.27
Fuel and Light 6.43
Housing 15.27
Clothing, Bedding and Footwear 6.58
Miscellaneous 23.26
Total 100.00

GNP Implicit Price Deflator: It is implicit because it is not measured directly


as CPI & WPI. It is calculated by dividing current GNP by constant GNP.
Consumer Expenditure implicit Price Deflator: It is an index of price
change for all of the goods and services including in the personal
consumption expenditure (PCE) component of the GNP, and is derived as is
the implicit price deflator for GNP as a whole.
Inflation in India:
1st five year plan WPI reduced 17.0% and CPI reduced from 101 to 96%

Control of Inflation in India:

The various measures that can be adopted to check inflation can be


classified in three groups
(1) Monetary measures: Monetary measures aim at regulating the supply of
money in an economy. More important among the monetary measure are
Bank rate policy, CRR, SLR and Open Market Operations and qualitative
controls like margins.
(2) Fiscal Measures: Fiscal measures are the part of the budgetary
operations of government in terms of Public Expenditure, Taxation and
public Borrowings.
(3) Other Measures: Output adjustment, Wage policy and Price control and
Rationing

During 2007-08 government of India took some of the anti-


inflationary measure:

• Public sectors agencies are importing wheat to increase the availability


of wheat during 2007-08
• To maximize procurement of wheat and paddy the government
increased the bonus
• To maintain price stability, the central issue price for rice and wheat hs
not revised since July 2002.
• There has been continuous reduction in the import duty on edible oils.

Functions of RBI:
RBI function divided into two types
1. Traditional Functions
2. Development Functions
I. Traditional Functions:

1. Currency issuing: Currency or note issue is the monopoly power of


the central bank in a country and its notes are full of legal tenders.
Except one rupee all type of currency is issuing by RBI. One rupee
currency issuing by the Indian finance department.

2. Banker to the Government: As the government’s banker, RBI keeps


the banking accounts of government departments, board and
enterprises and performs the same functions as a commercial bank
performs for its customers.

3. Banker to Banker and Lender of last source: By granting


accommodation in the form of re-discount and collateral (security)
advances to commercial banks, and other financial institutions, RBI
acts as the lender of the last source. Thus RBI as lender of the last
source is a big source of cash and also influences prices and market
rates. And controls the whole system of banking in the country.

4. Maintenances of Clearing Houses: Each and every bank every day


will get so many Cheques, but it is not possible to collect by their staff,
to facilitate this availability RBI established clearing houses in Mumbai,
Chennai, Kolkata, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Kanpur, Nagpur, Patna and
New Delhi.

5. Protection of Foreign Reserves: It has become the custodian


(guardian) of the country’s reserves of international currencies.

6. Maintenance of Exchange rate: It maintains the stability of the


exchange rate of the currency, besides enforcing exchange control
regulations.

136
7. Control of Credit: To achieve price stability or to control the inflation,
to control the trade cycles to get full employment RBI implement the
credit policy through quantitative and qualitative methods such as
Bank rate, CRR, SLR, OMO and changing Margins.

II. Development Functions:

1. To Development of banking system RBI established Banking


Transaction Department. RBI is encouraging to establish banks in rural
areas like in bank less villages.
2. NABARD is established under the control of RBI to Promote the
Agricultural Credit.
3. To promote the Industrial Credit RBI taking so many measures and it
helped to start IFCI, IDBI and SFCs. RBI started Credit Guarantee
Scheme to provide credit facilities to small scale industries.
4. It will act as representative of the country in IMF
5. It will sell and buy the government securities in open market
6. It will establish training college to provide training for bank employers.
7. It will publish books related RBI Bulletin, reports of currency and
banking and Statistical Tables relating to Banks in India.

Credit Policy:

The objective of credit policy is to stabilize Prices, to prevent the inflationary


and deflationary, to stabilize Foreign Exchange rate, to control trade cycle
and full Employment. RBI adopted two types of credit control methods 1.
Quantitative credit controls. 2. Qualitative credit controls

I. Quantitative Credit Controls:

a. Bank Rate: It is a rate prescribed by the RBI. It is the rate of interest at


which the RBI lends money to other banking institutions. During inflation
Bank rate will increase by RBI. and decrease during deflation. Present Bank
Rate is 6%.

b. CRR: The commercial banks are required to keep a certain amount of


cash reserves at RBI. This percent of amount is called CRR. During inflation
period CRR rate will increase and decrease during deflation. Present CRR
rate is 5%. RBI can change CRR between 3% and 15%.

137
c. SLR: The commercial banks under banking regulations have to maintain
a certain specified proportion of their total deposits of various categories in
liquid assets is called SLR. Present SLR rate is 24%
Credit quantity is depending on cash reserves (CRR & SLR).
Credit quantity = Primary deposits X 1/ Cash reserves.
Ex: Primary deposit is Rs.10,000 and cash reserves are 10%
Credit quantity = 10000 X 1/10/100
= 10000 X 100/10
= 100000
So here credit increasing 10 times.

d. Open Market Operations: This method refers to sale and purchase of


securities, bill, and bonds of government. During the inflation to reduce the
volume of money RBI will sell the securities and if RBI wants to increase the
volume of money RBI will buy the bonds.

II. Qualitative Credit control methods: These methods also called


selective credit control methods.
1. Rationing of credit – RBI will direct to banks to provide advances and
loans.
2. Prescribing Margin Requirement
3. Consumer Credit Regulation – RBI can increase in down payments to
reduce the transaction.
4. Moral Suasion – RBI advices to banks in terms of informal request.
5. Direct Action – this action may not used against all banks but against
go wrong banks

Monetary Policy

Monetary Policy was known as the credit policy statements till 1992. As a
part of economic reforms this policy renamed as Monetary and credit policy.
Both they concerned with the supply of money and as also of credit to the
economy. This statement will announce twice in a year till 1998-1999 (for
October to March in October announces and in April, April to September
announces). With decline in the share of agricultural credit and rise in that of
industrial credit, RBI started making the annual policy statement in April,
with review of the same in October. Since 1999-2000 RBI is announcing
annual policy. RBI monetary policy influences the money supply, interest
rates, and inflation to stabiles the price. It is also lays down norms for
financial institutions governed by RBI.
Two sets of objectives have been pursued for long.
1. Controlled expansion of money- It is to achieve full need of production
and trade and at the same time moderating the growth of money
supply to contain the inflationary pressures in the economy. For this

138
purpose RBI Changing Bank rate, CRR, SLR and Open Market
Operations.
2. Sectoral deployment (consumption) of funds – Depending upon the
priorities laid down in the plans, the RBI has determined the allocation
of funds, as also the interest rates among different sectors. These
sectors which have received special attention are core industries (iron,
steel, coal, and engineering goods) food grains (rice, wheat), priority
sector (agriculture and small scale industries) and weaker section of
the people. Various Measures have also been adopted by the RBI to
achieve the objective of Sectoral deployment of credit. For this
purpose a certain amount is allocated. EX; 40% of total net bank
credit has been earmarked to the priority sectors. Similarly structure
of interest rates has been so used to provide low-interest loans to
certain sectors like agriculture and export and weaker section of the
people.

Commercial Banks

Under the RBI 1934 Act, banks were classified as scheduled banks and non-
scheduled banks. The scheduled banks are those which are entered in the
second schedule of RBI Act, 1934. All commercial banks Indian and Foreign,
regional rural banks and State co-operatives banks are scheduled banks. SBI
had got 466 branches in 1955. SBI and allied banks expanded from 2462
branches in Jun 30, 1969 to 13684 in Jun 2005. Total number of branches of
the 19 nationalized banks was 32963 as on Jun 30, 2004.

Diagram of Commercial banks in India:

• The number of total branches of all commercial banks has gone up


from 8252 as in Jun, 1969, to 68500 as on Jun 30, 2005.

139
• The branches of Public sector banks have gone up from 7051 as on
Jun 30, 1969 to 62045 as on Jun 30, 2005.
• The branch offices of Foreign Banks have gone up from 130 in 1969 to
251 as on Jun 30, 2005.
• The average population served per bank office which was around
65000 in 1969 has come down to 16000 in 2004.
• As against 22.4% bank offices located in rural areas in Jun 1969, there
were 48.8% bank offices in these areas as on Jun 30, 2004.
• As on 30 Jun 2005, 13 Indian banks (8public+5private) had operations
overseas, which have their presence in 42 countries with a net work of
99 branches. Bank of Baroda had highest concentration, with 38
branches.
• SBI is 2nd position with 24 branches
• Bank of India 3rd position with 19 branches.

Functions of Commercial Banks: Commercial banks ply a very important


role in the economic growth of a country. Banks attract savings from the
people and encourage investment in industry, trade and commerce. Banks
are paying less interest rate for the people’s deposits and hey are collecting
high interest rate for the loans advances. The difference between these two
interest rates constitutes the profit for banks.
Commercial banks functions can divide into two types. 1. Primary Functions
2. Subsidiary Functions.
I. Primary Functions: Primary Functions are again divided into two types.
1. Receiving deposits: Commercial banks receive deposits from the
public. The banks collect cash from the customers in the form of
Primary deposits and use it for purchasing various types of financial
assets. Primary deposits are two types.
• Demand Deposits: These deposits include saving deposits and
current deposits. These deposits must be returned to the
depositor on demand without insisting prior notice. Banks will
pay low rate of interest for demand deposits. And demand
deposits are part of money supply.
• Time Deposits: Time deposits are also called term deposits.
Time deposits consist of fixed deposits and recurring deposits.
Fixed deposits are made for specified period ranging from 15
days to 5 years. Or more. The rate of interest differs from period
to period. Recurring Deposits are also called fixed deposits but
the deposit money is paid not in lumpsum but every month or
various periods ranging from 12 to 120 monthly. The bankers
allow compound interests on recurring deposits. Time deposits
are made by the customers for a specified period and they can
not be withdrawn before the specified period.

140
2. Lending Loans: the banks collect cash from the public in the form of
Primary deposits. With help of these primary deposits banks buys
various assets like Shares, securities and lend in the form of cash
credit to the businessmen. While buying these assets or lending money
to the business people cash is not given to them but demand deposits
are opened. These deposits are called Secondary Or Derivative
deposits. This is called credit money. Generally banks lend in four
ways

• Over Draft: Over draft is permissible on Current account only.


The current holders are given facility of over draft by which they
are allowed to draw an amount above their balances.
• Cash Credit: Banks give cash credit to business firms and
industries against current assets such as shares, stocks, bonds.
• Discounting Bills Of Exchange: In business, the transactions
are either on cash or on credit. When the buyer of goods is
unable to pay the amount immediately, the seller may demand
written undertaking from the buyer to pay the amount after a
specified period. These written undertakings are bills of
Exchange. The banks facilitate trade and commerce by
discounting these bills of exchange.
• Loans: A loan is granted against the securities of assets or the
personal security of the borrower. Bank loans and advances
carry a high rate of interest. Banks grant call loans and also
grant consumer credit for buying durable goods like Television
sets, Vehicles etc.

II. Subsidiary Functions:

1. Banks act as agents and representatives of their customers. Banks


collect and Cheques, drafts, bills etc.
2. Bank provides locker facility for the safe custody of Jewelers,
documents and valuable goods.
3. Banks issue letters of credit to help the traders and business men to
obtain credit at different places.
4. Now a day’s banks are issuing ATM cards for easy withdrawal of
money.

141
Credit Creation:

Credit creation is one of most important functions of modern bank. Modern


bank is also called a factory for the manufacturing of credit. Credit creation
is the process by which a group of deposit-taking and lending institutions.
“Credit means obtaining purchasing power with a promise to repay it some
time in future.” “Credit is an exchange which is completed after the expiry of
a certain period of time after transactions”. “Credit creation means to
increase deposits in several times”.
• Demand deposits of banks are considering as equal to money supply.
• Money supply is depending on deposits.
• The effects of volume of lending money by deposits demand deposits
this process is called credit creation.
• From credit creation process deposits creates equal to bank lending
money.
• If loans increase deposits also increases.
• Every day in the banks some people deposits Cheques and some
people takes money through Cheques.
• Credit creation is depending on deposits of banks.
• So when the banks are giving credit then deposits will create.
• So credit is causes for deposits at the same time deposits are cause
for credit.
• Credit creation is also depending upon Cash Reserves.
Suppose there four banks namely A, B, C, D. and Cash Reserves is 20%.
Suppose the person say X is depositing Rs.1000 in bank A. Now Rs.1000 is
primary deposit of bank A. After this deposit banks balance sheet will
become like following
Liabilities Assets
Deposit: Cash:
1000 1000

Bank A is now increase 1000 extra cash. It has to keep only 20% of reserve
in the form of cash. Then it has Rs.800 extra cash which it lends to Mr. X
and after the loan has been made the balance sheet of bank A will be as
follow.
Liabilities Assets
Deposits: Cash:
1000 200
Loan:
Total: 800
1000 Total:
1000

142
Now one Creditor Mr. X deposits Rs.800 with bank B. Then the balance sheet
of bank B will be as follows.
Liabilities (B bank) Assets
Deposits: Cash:
800 800
Total: Total:
800 1000

Now B begins its operations and lends RS 640 (800-160) then the balance
sheet of B banks.
Liabilities Assets
Deposits: Cash:
800 160
Loan:
Total: 640
800 Total:
800
We assume that those persons who have taken loans from bank B and
deposit them with bank C and its balance sheet will be
Liabilities Assets
Deposits: Cash:
640 640
Total: Total:
640 640

Now bank C will give loan to another person is Rs.512 After keeping 20% of
Rs.640 (128) as cash reserve. The balance sheet of C will be
Liabilities Assets
Deposits: Cash:
640 128
Loan:
Total: 512
640 Total:
640

Additional Aggregates deposits = primary deposit X 1/cash reserves.


Additional Aggregates deposits = 1000 X 1/20%
Additional Aggregates deposits = 1000 X 1/20/100
Additional Aggregates deposits = 1000 X 1X1/5
Additional Aggregates deposits = 1000 X 5
Additional Aggregates deposits = 5000

143
Limitations to Credit creation:

1. Amount of Cash: When money s plentiful, banks make it more


plentiful.
2. Ratio of Cash Reserves: If there is less % of cash reserves the more
credit will create and if there is more % of cash reserves less credit
will creates by banks.
3. Liquidity preference of the people: If people are ready to deposit
money in the banks then credit will increase. But because of liquidity
preference people may reserves money with in terms of cash credit
creation will decrease.
4. Monetary policy: Monetary policy of RBI sets certain limits to credit
creating capacity of commercial banks.
5. Trade cycles: Boom period credit creation will increase because of
more transaction. During Depression credit creation will decrease
because of less transaction.
6. People belief on banks: If people believe that deposit money is safe
in the banks people will deposit due to these deposits credit creation
will increase.

The Basel Norms

Basel Norms beginning in 1974


The committee was formed in response to the bankruptcy (ruin) of a
troubled Cologne (Germany) based bank in 1974.
In 1988, the Basel Committee proposed a set of minimal capital
requirements for banks this is known as Basel – I. Mostly this accord or
agreement is related to credit risk.
In January 1999, the Basel Committee proposed a new capital accord, which
is known as Basel – II. The finalized Basel II accord was released in June
2004.
Basel II uses three pillars concept.
1. Minimum capital requirements – it is to provide banks with guidelines to
measure the various types of risks the face such as credit, market,
operational risks and the capital required to cover these risks. 2. Supervisory
review. 3. Market Discipline: it is to promote greater stability in the financial
system.

track approach has been adopted by RBI. With regard to capital
adequacy rules.
• In the first track are commercial banks they have maintain capital for
credit risk and market risk as Basel-I framework.
• In the second track are the cooperative banks they are required to
maintain prescribed capital for credit risk as per Basel-I frame work
• RRBs are third track they have to maintain a minimum capital which
may not be on par with Basel-I rules.
• SBI, ICICI and HDFC reached target, Banks only local presences
(within India) have time till March 2009. PNB is the first bank initiated
to introduce B. norms.

PUBLIC FINANCE

Public Finance: Public Finance is the study of financial aspects of


governments. It is related to Revenue and Expenditure of the Government.
The study of the nature and Principles of state expenditure and state
revenue is called Public Finance – Adam Smith.

150
Public Finance deals with the income and expenditure of public authorities
and with the way which is used to one to another – Dalton
Public Finance deals with the revenue, expenditure, debt and fiscal system
of the government.
Public Revenue: Method of raising public revenue, taxation and other
related problems studied.
Public Expenditure: Public expenditure deals with the principles of public
expenditure on the production, distribution and individuals.
Plan Expenditure has been approximated at Rs.243,386 crore. Non-Plan
Expenditure figured out at Rs.507,499 crore.
Public Debt: Problems related to rising of loans and repayments of loans
are studied under Public Debt.
Fiscal Administration: Financial Administration relates to the mechanism
by which the activities of public expenditure and public debt are carried on.
The methods of administration, control and problems relating to the
preparation of budget are studied and analyzed in fiscal administration.
Difference between Public and Private Finances:
Similarities
• Private finance is concerned with the satisfaction of personal wants
where as public finance is concerned with the satisfaction of social or
entire community wants.
• Both have receipts and expenditure
• Both should be borrowed when current income is less.
• Both have always faced the problem of adjustment of income and
expenditure.
Differences:
• Individual adjust his expenditure to his income but Government will
adjust income according expenditure.
• Individual will try for surplus budget where as government are
following deficit budgeting.
• Individual maintain the secret of his budget where as government will
give more publicity about the budget.
• Government has more resources than the individual.
• Individuals sell the goods more than production cost where as
government sell equal to production cost.
• Individual may thing present but government will think future also.
Public Goods: A pure public good is defined as a good that one person’s
consumptions of the goods does not reduce the amount available to others
i.e. the consumption of a public good is non-rival. Ex: Duties of National
defense, police, judiciary, Public works, park.
Private Goods: Private goods yield utility only to the person consuming the
good. It is denied to others. Ex: who drinks a cup of coffee benefits from the
consumption of that cup of coffee.

151
Social Goods: Social wants are those wants which are satisfied by services
that must be consumed in equal amounts by all.
Merit Goods: Goods for which it is thought that consumption should be
encouraged are called merit goods.
Principle of Maximum Social Advantages:
This theory was developed by Hugh Dalton
A.C.Pigou called this as Maximum Aggregate Welfare theory
According classical economists like Adam smith, Ricardo, J.B.Say state
duties confined to only protection of state and maintenance of law and
order.
According modern economists modern states are welfare states.
Public revenue and public expenditure are two important financial operations
of a state.
These two operations of the state must be governed by some fundamental
principles.
The principle says that the state should collect revenue and spend the
money so as to maximize the welfare of the people.
Conditions of maximum social advantage:
• Public expenditure carried for community benefit.
• The social benefit will be maximum where marginal utility of state
expenditure will be equal to marginal disutility of taxation.

Y
MS
Utility

Money supply

• With every additional unit of tax raised, the burden of sacrifice will go
on increasing i.e. marginal sacrifice of taxation curve will be positively
sloped (MS).
• The amount of benefit derived by government expenditure will go on
decreasing i.e. marginal utility of expenditure will be negatively sloped
(MU).
• Social Advantages will be Maximum where MS is equal to MU.

152
• This is the optimum limit of states public finance activity.
• According Hicks to maximize social advantage production has to
increase and distribute has to regulate for sound implementation.
Canons of Taxation:
Adam Smith in 1776 gave 4 more important canons
1. Canon of Equity: This canon tries to observe the objective of
economic justice. It indicates that the richer should pay more taxes
like progressive taxes. According ability to pay taxation theory.
2. Canon of certainty: The time of payment, the method of payment,
the quantity to be paid, ought all to be clear and plain to the
contributor.
3. Canon of Convenience: The method and timings of tax payment
should be, so far as possible, convenient to taxpayer.
4. Canon of Economy: The cost of collection of taxes should be
minimum. Or the cost of collection of taxes should not be more the tax
income
Others proposed the canons.
5. Canon of Productivity: Taxes should have productivity according
Bastable and Gladstone.
6. Canon of Elasticity: Canon of elasticity stresses the fact that the
yield of the taxes can be easily increased or decreased according to
the needs of government.
7. Canon of Simplicity: A tax should easily understand by taxpayer. The
tax system should not be too complicated.
8. Canon of Diversity: State should not depend upon too few a source
of public revenue. Different type of taxes should be collected from
people then tax rate will decrease. How ever too much multiplicity of
taxes also to be avoided.

Public expenditure:

Public Expenditure: Public expenditure deals with the principles of public


expenditure on the production, distribution and individuals.
• Public expenditure refers to the expenses of the public authorities
Central, State and local government either for protecting citizens or
promoting their social and economic welfare.
Causes for Public Expenditure: The fallowing factors are the main causes
for Public expenditure.
• Public expenditure is increasing because of the state activities are
increasing. This called according Wagner “Law of increases of state
Activities”.
• For defence P.E.increasing.
• S & T.
• Increasing population.
• Interest payments.
• Welfare activities.
• Administrations.
• Democracy activities like elections, legislatives meetings.

Differences Between public and private expenditure:

• Private expenditure is determined by the income. But public


expenditure is determined the amount of necessary to meet that
expenditure.
• Private expenditure may be motivated by profit. But public expenditure
is motivated by welfare activities.
• The plans of private expenditure are made in relation to the near
future. But public expenditure generally planned with the objective of
long-term benefits rather than short term benefits.

Effects of public expenditure:


• Effects on production. It creates the effective demand and it create the
market push up.
• Effect on will to work and save. Public expenditure on education,
medical services, cheap housing facilities and transport and
communication etc will increase the ability of people to work. If the
people income increases the people can save the money.
• Effect on investment. If the public expenditure increases peoples
saving can increase due o higher saving investment also increases.
• Effect on distribution. If the public expenditure increases on welfare
activities equality increases.
• In developing countries has an active role to play in reducing regional
and personal disparities.

GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT

• Before 2nd world war economists used the terms economic growth for
developed countries mainly in European countries.
• But after 2nd world war economists look after developing countries in
Asian, Latin America and African continent.
• Schumpeter, Hicks explained the difference between growth and
development.

Growth:
1. Increasing of National Income or output is called growth.
2. Literal meaning of economic growth is an increase in the country’s
national income.
3. Economic growth means transformation of economy from agrarian to
highly industrialized society and this transformation is mainly reflected
in a sustained and steady rise in national and per capita income.

Development:
4. Over all development of the country is called development
5. Economic development means economic growth with structural
changes in economy.
6. Economic development means it is economic growth accompanied by
rise in productivity.

Sustainable Development: Sustainable development defined as that


level which takes care of the needs of the present generation without
compromising the needs of the future generation.

Difference between growth and Development:

• Economic growth refers to a rise in output but economic development


implies changes in distribution, technological and institutional changes
– according Kindle Berger.
• Economic development is a process where by an economy real per
capita income increases over a long period time – M .G. Meier and
Baldwin. That means growth is refers to short period and development
is refers to long period of time.
• Economic development is a multi-dimensions process and growth is a
uni-dimensional process – Michel P. Todaro
• Economic development means transmission of labour from agriculture
sector to industrial sector - J. B. Clark.

160
• Economic development is related to developing countries and
economic growth related to developed countries – Kindle Berger,
Schumpeter and J. R. Hicks.
• Economic development means reduction of poverty, unemployment
and economic in equality – Dudley Seers.
• Average production increasing by optimum utilization of resources of
the country is called economic development – S. K. Mukherjee.
• Transmission of economy from lower social position to upper position
is called development – Gunnar Myrdal.
• Rich countries national income increases is called growth and
developing countries or poor countries national income increases is
called economic development – Madison.
• “Growth without development” written by Robert Clover. In his book
he wrote that in Liberian country growth was there without
development but some peoples are only getting return of growth and
majority of the people are in poverty.
• We can take the example human growth to understand the difference
between the growth and development, only physical weight increases
it is called growth and along with physical weight his mind maturity,
knowledge and personal development is called development.

Determinants of Growth or Development


1. Natural Resources: W. J. Boumal and W.A. Lewis given more important
to natural resources to development of the any economy.
2. Human resources: Edwin canon and Ragner Nurkse given important
for human resources to development of any economy but Malthus did
not supported population.
3. Institutional Factors:
4. Availability of Capital: according W.A. Lewis capital is necessary for the
development of economy. In 1950-51 he suggested saving and
investment should be 5% to 12% for the development of economy.
But present economists are telling that saving and investment should
be there 25% to 30% for the development of economy.
5. Technological progress
6. Skilled labour
7. Foreign trade: D. H. Robertson described foreign trade as an Engine to
economic development.
Growth is measuring based on the national income growth rate.
QT – QT-1
Growth rate (GT) = -------------

Developing economies

• According to Development economics poor countries are calling with


different names like backward countries, under development countries,
developing countries, low income countries and III world countries..
• 1st world countries are those are developed based on he capitalistic
pattern.
• 2nd world countries are those countries are developed based on the
socialistic pattern.
• 3rd world countries are those countries are trying to develop by
fallowing either capitalistic or socialistic or mixed economy.
• That means 1st and 2nd world countries are developed countries and 3rd
world countries are back ward countries.
• According World Bank development report classification in 2004 world
countries divided into 4 types based on the per capita income.
1. Low income countries: the countries having the less than or
equal to 735 $ (≤ 735 $).
2. Low middle income countries: the countries having the per
capita income between 736 $ to 2935 $.
3. Upper middle income countries: the countries having the per
capita income between 2936$ to 9075$.
4. High income countries: the countries having the per capita
income more than or equal to 9076 $ (≥ 9076 $)
• According World Bank development report classification in 2007 world
countries divided into 4 types based on the per capita income.
1. Low income countries: the countries having the less than or equal
to 875 $ (≤ 875 $).
2. Low middle income countries: the countries having the per capita
income between 876 $ to 3465 $.
3. Upper middle income countries: the countries having the per capita
income between 3466 $ to 10, 725$.
4. High income countries: the countries having the per capita income
more than or equal to 10, 726 $ (≥ 10, 726 $)
• According World Bank development report classification in 2008 world
countries divided into 3 types based on the per capita income.
1. Low income countries: the countries having the less than or equal
to 905 $ (≤ 905 $).
2. Middle income countries: the countries having the per capita
income between 906 $ to 11,115 $.
3. High income countries: the countries having the per capita income
more than or equal to 11, 115 $ (≥ 11, 115 $)
• According to World Bank report classification low income countries and
middle income countries both are called developing countries and high
income countries are called developed countries.

162
• According this report developing countries population is 84% and their
income in the world income is only 21%
• According this report India population is about 109 crores in 2005 and
per capita income is 720 $. India population is 17% in the world
population and 1.8% in the world income.
• According this report China population in the world is 20.3% and 5%
in the world income.
• According A. K. Cairon Cross developing countries are called slums of
the world economy.
• According UNO experts developing economies, which are having less
real per capita income compared to USA, Canada, Australia and
Western European countries.
• According Indian Planning commission “one side under utilization of
human resources and another side under exploitation of natural
resources countries are called developing economies”

Characteristics of Developing countries:


1. Scarcity of Capital: in developed countries saving and investment is
30% to 40% in their GDP. But in developing countries it is only 15% to
20% in GDP.
2. More dependence on Agriculture sector:

country % of the people Agriculture


depending on sector
agriculture sector contribution to
GDP
Briton 2% 1%
USA 2% 2%
Japan 5% 7%
India 56.7% 18%

3. More Income in equalities


4. Low per capita income
5. Mass poverty
6. More un employment
7. High population
8. More un skilled labour
9. Low standard of living of the peoples.
10. Under utilization of natural resources.
11. Lack of infrastructure facilities
12. Un- favorable foreign trade
13. Dualistic economy: according Heggins this countries having two
type of economies 1 is traditional sector and 2 is modern sector.
14. Lack of entrepreneurs.

163
Measurement or indexes of economic growth or development

1) National Income: according Prof. Kuznets, Meier and Baldwin


national income is a good measure to development of any economy.
But this is not going to explain about the distribution and consumption.
According them real national income is the most convenient method to
measure the economic development.

Y

2) Per capita income: Per head income per year is called per capita
income. PCI gets by dividing the National Income with that country’s
population. Per capita income will decide the standard of living of the
people. National income may increase by increasing the some people
income. If national income increases faster than the population growth
rate, it is undoubtedly a mark of economic development. If national
income increases lower than population growth rate, then there may
be economic growth but there may not be economic development.
Hence per capita income is better measurement than the national
income measurement to development.
Real Per capita income = Real National Income ÷ population of
the country

3) Lorenz curve: The concept of income inequality explained by Lorenz


and Gini. The economist called Lorenz draw the curve based on the
income which is received by people, so this curve is called Lorenz
curve. This curve will explain the income inequality among the people.
If the Lorenz curve is equal to equal distribution curve then there is an
inequality in the country. If Lorenz curve is far to equal distribution
curve then there is more in equality among the people. He given the

164
values between 0 to 1. If Lorenz curve is equal to equal distribution
curve then value is zero, means there is income inequality among the
people. If the Lorenz curve is equal to ox axis then value is 1, means
more inequality among the people.

• Based on the Lorenz curve Gini explained the inequality among


the people by taking the values from 0 to 100 on scale. This is
called Gini Index. According Gini the value is 0 then there is
inequality among the people. Is the value is 100 there are more
in equalities among the people. According Gini index India’s rank
in 2006 is 62nd.

4) PQLI: Physical Quality Life Index:

• This was first explained by John tin Bergen in 1976.


• But later in 1979 this was developed by David Morris.
• In PQLI 3 indexes are there
i. Life expectancy (LEI)
ii. Infant Mortality Rate (IMR)
iii. Literacy Rate (LRI)
• Based on the above 3 indexes Morris prepared Simple Compound
Index.
• Morris given rating from 1 to 100 on the scale.
• According Morris 1 is lowest position and 100 is highest position
in the above indexes.
• Morris given the lower limits and upper limits per each index.
According him upper limit is 100 and lower limit is 1. Upper limit
shows the better position and lower limit shows that lowest or
worst position.

5) Net Economic Welfare: this concept was explained by William


Nordapus and James Tobin as Economic Welfare index to measure the
development.
• Later it was developed by Paul Samuelson as Newt Economic
Welfare.
• According Paul Samuelson Net Economic Welfare Index = Real
GNP + taking rest + non- market activities + expenditure on
environmental pollution.

6) Composite Index of Development: this was developed by


Everet Heggins.
• He taken the factors like health, nutrition food, education,
employment. Communication, industrial products consumption,
urbanization and per capita income etc.
• Composite index of development is measured by Donald
Newresky with 14 factors.
• This is measured by Irma Adelman and Sindhia Morris with 41
factors.

7) UNRISD: United Nations Research Institute for Social


Development: This institute was measured the economic development
with 16 factors. Among them 9 are social factors remaining 7 are
economic factors.

166
8) HDI: (Human Development Index): since 1990, the United
Nations Development Programme has been publishing every year a
Human Development Report.
1. This Human Development Report giving ranking for various
countries based on the Human Development Index.
2. The HDI is Equi - weighted average of three components
i. Life Expectancy Index (LEI)
ii. Educational Attainment Index (EAI)
iii. Standard Of Living Index or per capita in PPP with $
(PCI)

Based on the HDI value countries are divided into different countries.
1. Low human development countries: the value is from 0.0 to 0.50
2. Middle human development countries: the value is from 0.51 to 0.79
3. High human development countries: the value is from 0.80 to 1.00

According 2008 report based on 2006 data 26 countries are low human
development countries, 78 countries are middle human development
countries and 75 are high human development countries are there.
According 2008 report India’s HDI value is 0.609 and its rank is 132 out of
179 countries.
UNDP announced the 2008 report based on the 2006 data.
In report UNDP measured HDI for 179 countries.

In 2008 report based on 2006 data adult literacy rate is 65.2%
In 2008 report based on 2006 data comib9ne gross enrollment is 61.0%
In 2008 report based on 2006 data GNP per capita income 2489 $
The index HDI is an equal weighted average of life expectancy index (LEI),
Educational attainment Index (EAI) and GNP Per Capita Income.
(LEI + EAI +PCI)
HDI = -----------------------
3
Components of HDI
i. Life expectancy :
ii. Educational Attainment: it is a combination of adult literacy rate (ALR)
and combined enrolment ratio (CER). Here 2/3 part given weighted for
Adult Literacy Rate (ALR) and 1/3 part given to Combined Enrolment
Rate (CER).
Therefore educational attainment index may be given as EAI = 2/3
ALR + 1/3 CER.
iii. Standard of living is represented by per capita income. First per capita
income is converted into purchasing power parity in dollars.

• Gender Related Development Index: it is measuring since 1995.

• Gender Empowerment index: it is measuring since 995.

168
• Human Poverty index- I: it is measuring since 1997. But since 1998 it
is measures to only developing countries. Here also HDI factors are
taking but with little bit differences.

1. Life expectancy is taking only those who are dying below


40 years.
2. Adult literacy rate
3. Standard of living of people. Here health services and safe
drinking water.
• Human Poverty index –II: It is measuring since 1998 based on 4
factors.
1. below 60 years death %
2. Adult illiteracy
3. People having less than 50% of the country average income.
4. Unemployment % in total one year.
• Technological Achievement Index: It is measuring since 2001.
1. Creation of technology
2. Provide of human skills to all
3. Expanding of Innovation

STAGES OF GROWTH
1. German’s Historians growth stages classified into 4 types
I. Village or rural stages
II. Agricultural stage
III. Agriculture and industrial stage
IV. Agriculture, industrial and trade stages
2. Brunei field: he divide growth stages into 3 type based on the
changes in currency
I. Barter exchange system stage
II. Money exchange system stage
III. Credit Exchange system stage
3. Karl Marks: He divided the growth stages into 5 types. He divided the
growth stages with historical perspective. These are fallows
I. Primitive society stage
II. Slave society stage
III. Land lord society stage
IV. Capitalist society stage
V. Communist or Socialist society stage

4. Simon Kuznets: According him total economy is depending on the


agriculture sector initially and due change in technology secondary
sector share increase and gradually primary sector share decrease.
Labour also transformed from primary sector to secondary sector and
finally they transformed to services sector.

169
5. W.W.Rostow:
• He wrote one book called “The stage of Economic growth” in
1960
• This book also called Anon-communist Manifesto, because this
book is alternative for communist manifesto.
• He divided growth stages into 5 types. Fallowing are the 5
stages

I. Traditional Society:
• This stage had up to Newton law was discovered
• After discover of Newton science and technology was
discovered this stage was changed
• This stage is also called Pre-industrial stage
• During this stage limited production function will be there due
to lack of Technology
• Around 75% of the people were depending on the agriculture
sector
• Most of the people spend money for temples, customs, and
traditions, for their culture due lack of aware about the
development activities

II. Pre-take off stage: (PURVA PLAVANA DASHA)

• This Stage Is The Bridge Between Traditional stage and Take


– off stage
• Risk bearing entrepreneurs develop during this stage.
• To get the modern returns from traditional stage its will take
some time.
• Requirement conditions developed to get take off stage
during this stage
• Trade, investment and modern firms will develop during this
stage
• Briton crossed first time this stage.
• To reach take off stage 3 conditions must be develop
1. Technology in agriculture must be develop
2. Imports – exports sectors should be develop. When
industrial sector developing initially the raw material
should be import.
3. Infrastructure should be developing.

III. Take off stage: (PLAVANA DASHA)

• According to Rostow this Is the Most Important Stage

170
• During this stage industrial sector and services sector
developed
• Cities and towns developed during this stage
• Sufficient technology in agriculture developed. So Surplus
food grain production produces the countries during this stage
• Availability of Raw material increases to industrial sector Due
to surplus production in agriculture sector, So industrialization
start in the country
• During this stage link between agriculture and industrial
sector will developed
• Saving and Investment rate increased from 5% to 10%
• Due to the development of progressive sectors growth rate
also increases
• Briton reached in first time this stage during 1783-1860
• The fallowing countries reached to this stage during the
fallowing period
1. Briton -1783-1860
2. France -1830-60
3. USA -1843-60
4. Germany -1850-73
5. Sweden -1868-1899
6. Japan -1878-1900
7. Russia -1890-1914
8. India -1952
9. China -1952
10.
IV. Maturity stage or Drive to maturity: (PARIPAKVA DASHA)

• This stage is also called stage of self-sustained growth


• This countries utilized modern technology
• Rostow described about this as “countries are consuming the
optimal resources, which are available in the country with
availability of technology”
• Investment rate in National Income increases more than 10%
• New progressive sectors will developed during this stage
• Services sector share will increases in the income
• The fallowing countries reached to this stage.
1. Briton -1850 (this country has reached to this stage
first time)
2. USA -1900
3. Germany -1910
4. Japan -1940

171
V. High Mass consumption stage: (SAMUHIKA VINIYOGA
DASHA)

• This stage is also called high income stage


• All people in the country will perishable consume consumption
goods and luxury goods
• Urban population increased during this stage
• All types of commodities available during this stage
• So community may not think about the production means
supply
• Community concentration change from supply side to demand
• Community concentration change from production problem to
welfare problem
• During this stage the country command can increases in
international level
• Labour welfare activities will increase during this stage
• New trade centers and new markets generate during this
stage
• USA reached first time this stage in 1920
• Later Briton in 1930 and Russia in 1950 reached this stage.

Learning Curve: Any economy growth starts with slow later starts rapid
and finally slow growth stats this concept known as Learning curve. This is
also called Gampetdge growth rate.

GROWTH STRATEGIES

1. Harrod and Domar strategy:

• During the first five year plan this strategy fallowed in India
• Harrod and Domar both gave more important for capital accumulation
• According then capital accumulation have double character. The capital
accumulation can increase income one side and anther side production
increases.
• They tried to increase full employment in the long-run period
• Harrod wrote one book called Towards a dynamic economics in 1959
• In the Harrod model 3 main concepts are there
4. Actual rate of growth (G)
5. Warranted rate of growth (GW)
6. Natural rate of growth (GN)
• According Harrod growth rate = S/COR
• S= Saving
• COR= Capital output Ratio
• Domar wrote the fallowing books

172
4. Capital expansion
5. Rate of growth and employment
6. Essays in the poverty of economic growth
• He gave more important dual investment character
• According him investment increases productivity and real income also
increases
• According him full employment get equilibrium when aggregate
demand is equal to aggregate supply

2. Unlimited labor supply theory:

• This theory was developed by W.A. Lewis


• He wrote one book called Development with unlimited supply of
labour
• According him economic systems are two types
1. Subsistence sector
2. Investment sector
• According him development can increases by transforming the
labors from subsistence sector to investment sector

3. Low level equilibrium trap:

• This theory was propounded by Nelson


• According him under development countries always have their per
capita income equal to their subsistence level.
• These countries have always saving and investment very low
• If they will try to increase the national income population also
increase along with national income, so again the per capita income
reach to equal to their subsistence level

4. Capital –turn over-criterion:

• This theory was propounded by J.J.Pollar, S.S.Bucknon and Chinary


• This theory also called minimum capital intensive or law of minimum
capital investment
• This theory will tell that how much production increases per one unit of
capital
• According this theory tells that how we get maximum production with
low capital in short run period and how we have invest on other
projects.

173
5. Robinson theory:

• Smt. Robinson wrote “the accumulation of capital” in 1956 and


“Essays in the theory of Economic growth” in 1963
• According her steady growth with full employment is called golden age
in economy.

6. Critical Minimum Effort:

• This theory was propounded by Leibenstein in his book called


“Economic Backwardness and economic growth”
• According him to develop any economy we have to broke up Vicious
circles and per capita income should be increase
• According him Vicious circles and per capita income can change only
through this theory.

7. Social Marginal Productivity investment theory:

• This theory was propounded by A.E.Khan and H.B.Chinary.


• This theory tells that how the national income maximizes by investing
the limited resources on projects by changing their values as
productive value.

8. Re-investment theory:

• This theory was propounded by Gallenson and Leibenstein. .


• This theory also called law of surplus rate or law of average marginal
investment ratio.
• This theory will tell that per capita income should be increase in the
future not in the present.
• This theory telling that even capital scarcity countries also should be
use the capital intensive method.
• According them there is more part in profits in capital intensive
method, so this profits are use full for re-investment

9. Time series Criterion:

• This theory was propounded by A.K.Sen


• This theory will tells How To get maximum production in determining
period
• According him to produce the commodities two methods are there
1. Labour intensive method
2. Capital intensive method
• This theory explains that Among these two methods which is the best
method to get maximum production in particular period of time

174
• He proposed that capital intensive methods for less population and
more capital countries and labour intensive method for more populated
and less income countries.
• Initially losses which occurring from capital intensive method if we get
from labour intensive method that period is called recovery period.

10. Goutham Mathur Model:

• He developed steady growth model


• According him initially resources, planning targets, real wage rate,
technology and different people consumption propensity influence the
development.
• He also supported heavy industrial strategy
• In heavy industry he supported labour intensive methods for
consumption goods and capital intensive methods for capital goods.
• He also supported that developing countries should be use capital
intensive methods after getting full employment

11. Karl Marks Surplus Value theory:

• According him production is in terms of Labour.


• According labour (srama) is production and production is labour.
• He observed economy in terms of historical perspective
• According him capitalist exploiting labour
• Because capitalist paying salaries for less hours but labours are
working more hours
• According him if labour get salary equal to his work he will work more
• So production increases and income increases for both labour and
capitalist
• He suggested that capitalist should be give share to labour or capitalist
gave partnership for labours to development of any economy.

12. Adam Smith growth model:

• He is known as father of economics


• He wrote a book called “An enquiry into the nature and causes of
Wealth of Nations” in 1776
• He proposed division of labour in the production process for rapid
growth of any economy
• So he is known as father of division of labour.
• Division of labour lead to specialization
• Specialization can expand the markets and it can increase the
technology and quality of goods
• Due to the above activities countries goes from development to growth

175
13. Innovations theory:

• This theory was propounded by Schumpeter


• According him factors of productions are two types
1. Physical factors of production
2. Non physical factors of production
• According him land, labour, capital, organization are physical factors of
production and social factors are non physical factors of production

14. Gunnar Myrdal growth theory:

• Gunnar Myrdal wrote “Asian drama”


• In Asian drama he wrote the spread effects back wash effects.
• Back was effects: it means one area development effects gave a path
under development of another area. Development area attracts the
qualitative people and factor of productions and capital every this so
this area may not develop.
• In case of spread effects: in case of spread effects one area
development help to develop another area. F these area develop
another area which are producing raw materials are going to develop.
• According him spread effects and back wash effects are causes for
international inequalities and regional inequalities in the developing
countries.
• According him in developing countries has strong back wash effects
and week spread effects.

15. Big push Theory of growth:

• This theory was propounded by Paul. N. Rosenstein Rodan


• He wrote one book called Industrialization of eastern and south
Eastern Europe in 1943.
• High amount of investment is necessary to overcome the obstacles to
development in an developing economies
• W.A. Lewis and Ragner Nurkse supported this theory
• According him there is a indivisibility in production, indivisibility in
demand and indivisibility in the supply of savings
• Given these three indivisibilities and the external economies to which
they give rise a big push investment is required to overcome the
obstacles to development in developing countries.

16. Balanced growth theory:

• This theory was first propounded by Rosenstein Rodan


• Later it was developed by Ragner Nurkse

176
• Ragner Nurkse wrote one book called Problems of capital formation in
under developed countries in 1953.
• According Nurkse vicious circle of poverty are at work in developing
countries, which are obstacle to the development of economy
• According him vicious circles are operate both on supply side and
demand side.
• The doctrine of balanced growth requires a balance between different
sectors of the economy during the process of economic growth
• Investment should be made equal in different sectors
• According Nurkse around 30% of disguised unemployment the in the
under developed countries
• This theory was criticized by Hirschman, Singer and Kurihara in the
fallowing grounds
1. Lack of resource
2. Disproportionate of factors of production
3. Cost aspect ignored.

17. Unbalanced growth theory:

• Prof. Hirschman developed this theory


• Kindleberger also supported this theory.
• According Prof. Hirschman “the best strategy of development is the
creation of imbalances in the economic since it is observed that efforts
to correct the existing disequilibrium constitute a major step for the
progress of the economy”.
• Under development countries are having low level of consumption,
production, saving and investment.
• According Prof. Hirschman the most effective way of breaking the
vicious circle is to deliberately plan for imbalance.
• According Hirschman investment can be two types
1. Convergent Series of Investment: This type investment can
consume more external economies then the creation.
2. Divergent Series of Investment: This type of investment can
crate more external economies then consumption.
• According Hirschman two types of sector are there to investment.
1. Social Overhead Capital (SOC), it is equal to Divergent series of
investment
2. Directive Productive Activity (DPA), it is equal to Convergent
series of investment.
• Hirschman assumed that since under developed countries have limited
ability to utilize the resources. So SOC and DPA cannot expand
simultaneously. The problem of the planning is to determine sequence
of expansion that will maximize induced decision making. A country
can start either expanding SOC or expanding DPA. Either method of

177
unbalanced results in additional investment and output. Because of
incentives and pressures, the rate of growth is likely to be faster with
chronic imbalances.
• Any particular investment project may have both; forward linkages
and backward linkages.
• The forward linkage encourages investment in subsequent stages of
production. Every activity that does not by its nature caters exclusively
to attempts find demands will induce to utilize to outputs and inputs in
some new activities. This is known as output utilization or forward
linkages effects. On other hand, the backward linkage encourages
investment in earlier stages of production. Every non- primary non-
economic activity will induce attempts to supply through domestic
production, the inputs needed in that activity. This is known as input
provision, derived demand or backward linkage effects.
• According Hirschman iron and steel industry having the greatest
linkages.

Growth – Distribution or Welfare.

Welfare is a state of mind which reflects human happiness and satisfaction.


The increase in economic welfare results in the increase of total welfare and
vice versa.

Growth and welfare:

Economic growth increases the volume of national income, which leads to


increase in economic welfare. But this relationship depends on a number of
factors.
• If the change in national income were due to change in price, it would
be difficult to measure the real change in economic welfare.
• The economic welfare cannot be said to have increased, if the increase
in national is due to exploitation of labour.
• It is possible that with the increase in national income, the population
may increase at the same pace and thus the per capita income may
not increase at all. In such a situation, the increases in national
income will not result in increase in economic welfare.
• Even with the increase in national income and per capita income, the
economic welfare may decrease. This is the case when as a result of
the increase in national income, income of the richer sections of the
society increases and the poor do not gain at all from it. In this case
the total economic welfare decreases.

178
Amartya Sen’s Measure of Welfare:

• Prof. Amartya Sen has combined the dimensions of level and


distribution of income to produce the measure of welfare. In
mathematical terms,
W = µ (1 - G)
• Where W = welfare, G = measure of inequality.
• W will increase when µ grows and G dimensions. When one
remembers that µ is NNP divided by population, it is clear that NNP
should rise at higher rate than the population. The more the growth
rate of NNP relative to that of population, the better it is.

Sources of Growth:

Capital: Capital plays a vital role in promoting economic development in a


country. According the Nurkse, the vicious circle of poverty in an
underdeveloped economy can be broken only through capital formation. Due
to lack of adequate capital, income, investment and employment are
deficient and are at a very low level. It is the capital formation that leads to
the further utilization of resources. It helps in creating socio-economic
overhead. Thus, capital formation leads to increase in size of national
output, income and employment.
Capital is defined as a produced means of production. It is man- made and
its supply can be increased by human efforts. Capital stock of a country
consists of machinery tools, factory, buildings and all kinds of industrial
plant, raw material partly finished goods and means of transport.

Importance of capital formation:

• Economic growth is synonymous with the development of socio-


economic overhead capital. Without capital growth is not possible.
• Investment in capital equipment not only increases production but also
employment opportunities
• Capital formation leads to expansion of the market.
• Capital formation makes development possible even with increasing
population. Countries with huge population always aim at high capital
labour ratio, since the capital labour ratio is very low in these
countries.
• A rapid rate of capital formation is necessary to disperse with foreign
aid.

179
• The inflationary pressure in an economy can be removed with the help
of adequate capital formation, since increasing capital formation leads
to increased production of manufactured and primary goods.
• An increase in the rate of capital formation raises the level of national
income.

Sources of growth of capital formation:

The process of capital formation involves three steps:


1. Increase in the volume of real savings,
2. Mobilization of savings through financial and credit institutions, and
3. Investment of savings.

Capital formation can be divided into two categories. There are one is
domestic sources and second is external sources.

Domestic sources of capital formation:

1. Increase in national income


2. Savings drivers, like saving is a habit which can be included by
propaganda.
3. Establishments of financial institutions.
4. Increasing rural savings.
5. Perpetuation of income inequalities.
6. Increasing profit
7. Inflation
8. Profits of public corporations.
9. Utilization of the disguised un- employment.

External sources of capital formation:


1. Foreign aid
2. Restriction of imports
3. Favourable terms of trade.

Capital formation is thus an important determinant of economic


development.iot would be, however, an over simplification to regard
economic development as a matter of capital formation alone, neglecting
political, social, cultural, technological and entrepreneurial factors.

180
Human Capital:

The term human capital refers to the process of acquiring and increasing the
number of persons who have the skills, education and experience which are
critical for the economic and political development of a country. Thus human
capital formation is associated with investment in man and his development
as a creative and productive resource. According T.W. Schultz, there are 6
ways os developing human resources.
1. Health facilities and services.
2. On the job training including old type apprenticeships originated by
firms.
3. Formally organized education at the elementary secondary and higher
levels.
4. Study programmes fro adults.
5. Migration of individuals and families to adjust to changing job
opportunities.
6. The import of technical assistance expertise and consultants.

Thus, human capital means quality of the labour force or work force that is
used in the production of various goods and services. Human capital means
ability and skill of labour which can be brought in the field of production of
goods and services.
Human capital formation can be viewed at two levels, individuals and from
the angle of society. At the individual level, by investing on his education
and on improvement of technical skills, he can produce more, raise his
income and live a higher standard of living.
Human capital formation in Developing Countries are mainly on the fallowing
factors.
1. Education
2. Health services
3. Health and Adequate Diet

Suggestions to improve human capital formation in developing county.


• Rigorous steps must be taken to effectively check rapid growth of
India’s population that is taking place. Success of all other policies and
steps in this direction would go waste, if rate of growth of population is
not effectively brought down.
• There should be planning of human resources
• There should be an attempt to radically change the traditional value
system into a new vale system that would give stress on the
importance of modern sciences and better living in this world rather
than living in heaven after death.
181
• There should be established a vast network of social and cultural
institutions in the country to train and increase efficiency of Indian
workforce. Society should make enough investment to raise the rate of
human capital formation.

Population growth and economic development:

The consequence of population growth on economic development has


attracted the attention of economists ever since Adam Smith wrote his
Wealth of Nations. And Adam Smith wrote, “The annual labour of every
nation is the fund which originally supplies it with all the necessaries and
conveniences of life”. It was only Malthus and Ricardo who created an alarm
about the effect of population growth on the economy.
But their fears have proved unfounded because the growth of population in
Western Europe has led to its rapid industrialization. Population growth has
helped the growth of such economies because they are wealthy have
abundant capital and scarcity of labour.
However, the consequence of population growth on the development of less
developed countries are not the same because the condition availing in these
countries are quite different from those of developed economies. Theses
economies are poor, capital and labour abundant. Thus it is felt that an
increasing population hampers the process of rapid economic development in
a number of ways.
Many economists have presented theories of population to explain the
behavior of the population. Among them various theories important one are:
Malthusian theory of population, Optimum theory of population and
Demographic transition theory.

Malthusian Theory of Population:

Malthus was the first economist to give the population problem a series
attention.
According to Malthus, population had a natural growth rate described by a
geometric progression; where as the natural resources necessary to support
the population grew at a rate similar to an arithmetic progression.
Malthus advocated moral restraint on the size of families. According to
Marshall, without preventive checks population would outstrip the available
means of subsistence and force the positive and drastic checks on the
population involving various forms of miseries.

182
Theory of Optimum Population:

Prof. Cannon formulated a theory of population in the beginning of the


twentieth century which has come to be known as theory of optimum
population.
According this theory there is optimum point for every economy.
Optimum population is that level of population at which, gives existing
technical knowledge, capital equipment, natural resources and national
income per capita is maximum.
If the population of a country falls short of the optimum, it is considered to
be under-populated; on the other hand, if its population exceeds the
optimum, it is considered to be overpopulated. If a country is under-
populated, an increase in population would raise the level of per capita
income. On the other hand, if it is over populated, an increase in population
would lower the level of per capita income.

Theory of Demographic Transition:

Based on the demographic history of Western countries, the theory of


demographic transition states that every country passes through five
different states of population growth. According to C.P.Blacker, they are
1. High stationary stage: in this stage high birth rates and high death
rates with the results that the growth rate of population is low.
2. The early expanding stage: this stage marked by high birth rate and
high but declining death rate results high growth rate of population.
This acceleration in growth rate of population is known as population
explosion.
3. The late expanding stage: the late expanding phase with declining in
birth rate but death rate declining more rapidly. As a results,
population grows, but at a diminishing rate.
4. The low stationary stage: in this stage low birth rate and low death
rate, giving a low rate of growth of population, as a results a decline in
the growth arte of population.
5. The declining stage: a continuing decline in birth rate when it is not
possible to lower death rate further, in the advanced countries leads to
a declining stage of population. The existence of this stage in any
developed country is a matter of speculation.

183
Growth and Foreign Trade and Foreign Aid:

In recent decades in interesting debate has been raised over the relative
virtue of trade and aid. Though both are means of acquiring external
resources in the form of foreign exchange, but there are significant
difference between the two. As we know that, foreign aid is frequently made
available in the form of Tied aid. Tied aid has a number of disadvantages for
the recipient country because it limits its freedom in a number of ways.
There choice of projects and the conditions of purchase of goods under the
aid programme are determined by the donor country. The type of
technology made available under this aid programme may at times, be
unsuitable to the factor endowments of the recipient country.
Aid exposes the recipient country to a number of risks. In the non-economic
field, the greatest risk is that of the political interference of the donor
country in the domestic affairs of the recipient country. In the economic field
the greatest risk is the burden of repayment. At times, the burden can soar
to seen high limits that the entire export earnings of the country is likely to
suffer a set back as the capacity to exports to goods, essential for economic
development, will dry up. The way out of this crisis is a substantial
expansion of recipient country. This brings us to trade. Thus even if a
country starts its planning process by giving more importance to aid it must
eventually turn its attention to trade. In fact, the very aim of the aid-
receiving country should be to ensure that its utilization results in the
creation of export capacity either directly or indirectly. Thus aid should
ultimately lead to more trade.
Finally we may state that from the points of view of the developing
countries, both aid and trade have important roles to play. Aid, provides
resources to the developing countries to implement programmes of
economic development which otherwise wouldn’t have been undertaken. It
also fills up the foreign exchange gap and technological gap. However, aid
must eventually lead to more export earnings for the developing countries
else they would not be able to repay their debts. Thus aid must be
accompanied by more trade. For this purpose the developed countries will
have to change their selfish narrow outlook and pull down heir trade barriers
to enable the developing countries to export earnings. The slogan “Aid or a
Trade” is a misnomer. The approach of both, the developed and the
developing countries should be “Aid and Trade”.

Importance of Foreign Trade:


• When a country specializes in the production of a few goods due to
division of labour and international trade, it exports those commodities
which it produces cheaper in exchange for what others can produce at
a lower cost.

184
• Small size of domestic market in under developed countries fails to
absorb sufficient volume of output. This leads to low inducement to
invest.
• Foreign trade also helps to transform the subsistence sector into the
monetized sector by providing markets for farm produce and raises the
income and standard of living.

Importance of foreign aid:


• Under development countries suffer from technological backwardness,
reflected in high average cost of production and low productivity of
labour and capital due to unskilled labour and obsolete capital
equipment and has high capital-output ratio.
• Foreign aid helps in building economic overhead capital like rails, road
and power projects which provide the necessary infrastructure for
development.
• Foreign capital helps in industrializing the economy.
• With the help of foreign aid untapped natural resources can be
exploited, it opens up inaccessible areas helps in augmenting natural
resources.
• Importance of capital creates more employment opportunities.
• Foreign aid overcomes the balance of payments difficulties
experienced by under development countries.
Two Gap model of Foreign Aid:
• H.B.Chenery developed this model.
• According to two gap model, saving gap and foreign exchange gap are
two separate and independent constraints on the attainment of a
target rate of growth in developing countries.
• Chenery suggests foreign aid as a way of filling these two gaps in
order to achieve the target growth rate of the economy.
• According Chenery, due to low level of income saving is very low, so
there gap for investment. This is called domestic saving gap.
• Difference between saving and investment is cause to domestic
saving gap.
• According Chenery developing countries having the less export value
than the imports value. So the there is a gap for foreign exchange. So
this is called foreign exchange gap.
• Difference between imports and exports is cause to foreign
exchange gap.
