This article, published in a special issue of 1963 in the Economic Weekly, was set in the context of the country’s foreign exchange reserves being nearly exhausted, in a situation where even a slight shortfall in aid or a drop in export earnings could have triggered disproportionately severe impacts on the nation’s economic stability. Consequently, the young economist then, Manmohan Singh argued for the need to boost export earnings as an immediate and pressing priority of India’s export policy. EPW brings you this article from its rich archives to foster debate and discussion on issues that remain as relevant now as it was back then.
