"Haryana emerged as a separate state in the Federal Galaxy of Indian Republic on November 1, 1966. With just 1.37% of the total geographical area and less than 2% of India's population, the state has carved a place of distinction for itself during the past three decades. In this perspective, this book highlights the structural changes and economic development of Haryana duly substantiated with up-to-date statistical facts and figures. The book covers the important indicators of economic development, viz. domestic product, human resource development and occupational pattern, in order to correlate them with the stage of economic development in Haryana. The book also examines the emerging pattern of development in agricultural and industrial sectors along with present status of various constituents of infrastructural facilities in the state.

The book presents the macro picture of overall economic development in one of highly developed states in India and will prove of immense value to students, candidates appearing for competitive exams and general readers having interest in Haryana economy." (jacket)
