1. Development

This chapter explores the concept of **development**, moving beyond simply measuring income. It discusses how development goals are different for different people and might even be conflicting. The chapter introduces various indicators of development, including per capita income, infant mortality rate, literacy rate, and net attendance ratio. It emphasizes that while income is important, other factors like health, education, and quality of life are equally crucial for overall development and well-being. Comparing states and countries based on these diverse indicators provides a broader picture of progress.

2. Sectors Of The Indian Economy

This chapter classifies the **Indian economy** into different **sectors** based on the nature of activities: the **Primary Sector** (agriculture, forestry, mining, fishing - extracting natural resources), the **Secondary Sector** (manufacturing - processing raw materials), and the **Tertiary Sector** (services - providing useful services). It compares the contribution of these sectors to the Gross Domestic Product (**GDP**) and employment over time. The chapter also discusses the distinction between organised and unorganised sectors in terms of employment conditions and highlights issues like unemployment and underemployment, particularly in rural areas.

3. Money And Credit

This chapter explains the role of **money** as a medium of exchange, solving the problems faced in the **barter system**. It discusses how money facilitates transactions and acts as a store of value and a unit of account. The chapter then introduces the concept of **credit** (loans), explaining how banks create credit by accepting deposits and giving loans. Different types of credit arrangements, formal sector credit (banks and cooperatives) and informal sector credit (moneylenders), are discussed. The chapter highlights the importance of formal credit for development and the role of the **Reserve Bank of India (RBI)** in regulating banking.

4. Globalisation And The Indian Economy

This chapter explores **globalisation** – the increasing integration and interconnectedness of economies across the world, especially since the early 1990s. It discusses how ** multinational corporations (MNCs)** play a major role in linking production across countries. Factors enabling globalisation, such as improvements in technology (transport, communication) and liberalisation of trade and investment policies (removing barriers), are explained. The chapter examines the impact of globalisation on the **Indian economy**, including its benefits (increased trade, foreign investment) and challenges (increased competition for domestic industries), and discusses the role of the World Trade Organization (WTO).

5. Consumer Right

This chapter focuses on **consumer rights**, recognizing that consumers often face exploitation in the market. It discusses the need for a consumer movement and the introduction of the **Consumer Protection Act (COPRA)** in India. The chapter outlines the key rights of consumers, such as the right to safety, right to information, right to choose, right to be heard, right to seek redressal, and right to consumer education. It explains the redressal mechanisms available through consumer courts at district, state, and national levels, empowering consumers to protect themselves against unfair trade practices and misleading advertisements.
