Question
"Though India has considerably increased its saving and investment rate since independence, yet this is not adequate enough to give such a high rate of growth that is needed to eradicate poverty". What can be done to solve this problem?
✓

Answer

More efforts should be made by the government to increase domestic savings and expand inflow of foreign resources for further increasing the rate of investement in the economy. Due to high growth of population, the efforts are neutralised. Keeping this in mind, the government should start new projects which will help in providing more employment opportunities to the people. As a result, national income as well as per capita income will increase. Thus, the ultimate effect will be reduction in poverty.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from 1 to 5.
Traditional economic theory viewed capital in physical terms only. Economists during the late 1950s based on the aggregate production function found that the standard measures of simple labour and physical capital were incapable of explaining adequately the rapid post-war growth. Speculations on what was missing were diverse. Some argued that the principal explanation lays in the lack of appropriate adjustments for improvement in the quality of physical capital and the embodiment of technical progress in that capital. Others suggested that the most important omission pertains to the organisational advance or a vaguely specified human capital. The residual of unexplained growth was at first ascribed to technology by Solow, but later, the residual was defined to include improvements in the quality of capital can the investment in human beings. Human capital is formed with improvement in skills education. Improved health and education is merit as well as a public good and is associated with a large number of externalities which are often indirect, indivisible and non-quantifiable.
