For More Understanding
Explanation
The textbook explicitly lists these five economists as notable estimators of India's national and per capita income during the colonial period. It also mentions that among these, V.K.R.V. Rao's estimates were considered very significant. Students should note that the colonial government never made sincere attempts at such estimations, which is why individual economists had to undertake this work.
