The policy of liberalization has brought about changes in our society. Elaborate.
Following are the changes brought due to liberalisation:
(i) The process of liberalization includes a range of politics such as the privatisation of public sector enterprises, loosening of government regulations on capital, labour and trade.
(ii) Theh policy of liberalisation is mainly responsible for the globalisation of the Indian economy. This process began in 1980s.
(iii) The foreign companies were allowed to set up in India. For these changes the world marketisation is also used.
(iv) Due to liberalisation reduction in tariff and import duties was made. Now foreign goods can be imported easily.
(v) The process of liberalisation and marketisation have stimulated economic growth. e.g. many foreign branded goods are now sold in the Indian Market.
(vi) However, the processes of liberalisation and marketisation present government interference in markets. If subsidies are reduced or withdrawn, many farmers would not be able to make a decent living from agriculture. In the same way small manufacturers have been exposed to global competition. The foreign goods and brands are in the market, therefore, local goods and brands have gone way behind. The process of privatisation has led to loss of employment in some sectors.
Read the following passage and answer the given question:
The place is a cramped…rented shack stacked with music tapes and rusty electrical appliances which doubles up as Raghav‟s radio station and repair shop.
He may not be literate, but Raghav‟s ingenuous FM station has made him more popular than local politicians. Raghav‟s love affair with radio began in 1997 when he started out as a mechanic in a local repair shop. When the shop owner left the area, Raghav, son of a cancer-ridden farm worker, took over the shack with his friend. Sometime in 2003, Raghav, who by now had learned much about radio…In impoverished Bihar state, where many areas lack power supplies, the cheap battery-powered transistor remains the most popular source of entertainment. “It took a long time to come up with the idea and make the kit which could transmit my programmes at a fixed radio frequency. The kit cost me 50 rupees‟, say Raghav. The transmission kit is fitted on to an antenna attached to a bamboo pole on a neighbouring three-storey hospital. A long wire connects the contraption to a creaky, old homemade stereo cassette player in Raghav‟s radio shack. Three other rusty, locally made battery-powered tape recorders are connected to it with colourful wires and a cordless microphone.
