The overall post-liberalization growth of Indianeconomy has not inspiring. The liberalization process inthe country has not been able to take off in the realsense because the instrument of change, that is, the

bureaucracy has not been reformed. The entirebureaucratic administrative set-up needs to be lookedinto and redesign.The reforms would ensure that specialized departmentslike finance, science and technology are headed bypersons of sound knowledge in their field.If Indian industry is to be competitive in price, cost andquality it must provide a level playing field intechnology transfers, infrastructure, labour reforms,Govt. regulation, taxes of central and state Govt. and soon.
