Considering the pattern and syllabus of the Civil Services Examination, an important component of both Prelims and Mains is the GS Paper. A good weightage has been given to Economic and Social Development segment in the civil services exams in the general studies (GS) papers— at both preliminary and main levels. Usually, covered under the title Indian Economy, the segment is popularly called GS Economy (for Preliminary and Main exams) by aspirants. This segment is equally important for the essay paper, interview and the optional subjects belonging to humanities.
It has been 11 years of the book, Indian Economy. Stepping into the twelfth year brings back a flashback of memories about the time we, the editorial team of McGraw Hill and I, began working on the first edition. Consequently, the wide acceptance of the first few editions pushed us to publish a few more editions in the years to come, until the book grew into a bible on Indian Economy for the aspirants of Civil Services Examination.
