The 1991 Crisis Files
Step into the shoes of a policy analyst examining the causes and consequences of India's 1991 economic crisis. Investigate the fiscal deficit, depleting foreign exchange reserves, and the unsustainable debt that pushed India to seek a bailout from the World Bank and IMF. Explore the conditionalities attached to that loan and the two broad strands of the New Economic Policy — stabilisation measures and structural reforms — that reshaped India's economy.
Global Voyager — Explore India's Privatisation & Globalisation Journey
Embark on a virtual expedition through India's privatisation drive and globalisation wave. Investigate how disinvestment transformed PSEs, explore the outsourcing revolution that made India the world's back-office, and discover how the WTO shapes global trade rules affecting Indian farmers and factories.
Reform Reality Check: Voices from the Ground
Travel across India as a field researcher investigating how economic reforms have impacted real people — from groundnut farmers in Andhra Pradesh to factory workers and small-scale entrepreneurs. Explore case studies, debate policy trade-offs, and uncover who benefited and who was left behind.
Currency & Trade Command Centre — Simulate India's Reform Decisions
Step into the shoes of a young economist at the Ministry of Finance and simulate the impact of India's foreign exchange reforms, trade policy changes, and the landmark GST rollout. Manipulate policy variables and observe how each reform ripples through the economy.
The Liberalisation Blueprint
Explore India's 1991 economic liberalisation reforms, from dismantling the License Raj and opening the financial sector to rethinking the tax code with GST.
Growth Pulse Monitor: Visualizing India's Reform Performance
Step into the role of an economic analyst at NITI Aayog and explore interactive data visualizations of India's GDP growth, sectoral performance, and foreign investment trends since the 1991 reforms. Decode the numbers behind India's economic transformation using charts, tables, and comparative analysis.
Economic Observatory — Simulate India's Reform Data & Corporate Discovery
Run interactive simulations using real GDP data, explore the co-existence of public and private sectors, map multinational corporations across India, and debate the necessity of the 1991 reforms. This lab brings the chapter's exercises to life through hands-on data exploration and corporate research.
Reform Verdict — Weigh the Scales of India's Economic Transformation
Step into the role of a national policy reviewer evaluating the mixed legacy of India's 1991 reforms. Analyse arguments from both supporters and critics, examine real-world consequences like the Siricilla tragedy, and deliver a balanced verdict on liberalisation, privatisation, and globalisation.
