Question:

When did the Indian economy faced a serious foreign exchange crisis, high government deficit and a rising trend of prices despite bumper crops?

Options:

1980

1991

2000

2003

Correct Answer:

1991

Explanation:

In accordance with the economic planning, the government gave a lead role to the public sector for infrastructure industries whereas the private sector was broadly given the responsibility of developing consumer goods industry. At the same time, the government imposed several restrictions, regulations and controls on the working of private sector enterprises. India’s experience with economic planning has delivered mixed results. In 1991 the economy faced a serious foreign exchange crisis, high government deficit and a rising trend of prices despite bumper crops.
