Questions students ask

What is globalisation?

Globalisation is increasing economic integration between countries through trade, investment, technology and movement of goods and services. It means markets, firms and workers interact across borders, changing production patterns, consumption and the organisation of industries over time.

Why were the 1991 reforms introduced?

The 1991 reforms were introduced to stabilise India’s external position and open the economy by reducing state control through liberalisation, privatisation and globalisation, aiming to attract investment, improve efficiency and boost growth. Immediate trigger was a serious balance of payments problem.

How does FDI affect the Indian economy?

FDI brings capital, new technology and management skills, can create jobs and boost exports; however it increases competition for domestic firms and may lead to displacement in some small-scale industries or regions dependent on traditional production.

How did globalisation impact Indian agriculture and small industries?

Many small producers faced stiff competition from cheaper imports and lost local markets, while some farms and export-oriented agribusiness benefited from better market access, new inputs and technology, causing uneven regional effects.
