What should you understand by the term 'Economy'?

Aspirants often call this section as Economics. There are others who call this section as Indian Economy.

But the exact wordings from UPSC Prelims syllabus are "Economic and Social Development, Sustainable Development, Poverty, Inclusion, Demographics, Social Sector initiatives, etc.

Questions to test the economics fundamentals are also asked, but most of the questions revolve around topics like Inflation, Monetary Policy, Fiscal Policy etc.

Our approach and advice!

As Economy section for UPSC exam is more current affairs oriented, no one can guarantee any textbook as complete. Ideally, one should have at least one book on Indian Economy plus the latest economic survey.

Also, the latest budget should be properly analyzed. Economic and Political Weekly (EPW) is a magazine which can be suggested as a good read.

The best way to start is by understanding basic concepts, thinking and asking questions. We hope our free online resources on economics would be a good starting point.
