Inclusive Growth and Development

Subject: Economics

Book: Comprehensive Indian Economy

Inclusive growth ensures benefits of economic expansion reach all segments—rural poor, women, marginalized communities. It blends macroeconomic stability with micro-level interventions like financial inclusion, SHG movements, and micro-insurance. Government’s role in primary health, education, and housing is critical. For exam readiness, study how expansions in credit, technology, and basic infrastructure can uplift under-served regions. Also highlight how targeted subsidy reforms or direct cash transfers reduce leakage. The ultimate goal is to create an environment where high growth coexists with social justice, bridging rural-urban, caste, and income divides.
