    4/5
    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 as “Economic
    and Social Development, Sustainable Development, Poverty, Inclusion, Demographics,
    Social Sector initiatives, etc. Question to test the economics fundamentals are also asked,
    but most of the questions revolve around topics like Inflation, Monetary Policy, Fiscal Policy
    etc.

    Books to study Economics


    1. Indian Economy – Ramesh Singh.
    2. Economic Survey.
    3. India Year Book.
    4. Indian Economy Since Independence – Uma Kapila.
    5. Indian Economy – Datt and Sundaram.

    Additional Books to study Indian Economy for IAS Mains


    1. Indian Economy – Sanjeev Varma.
    2. Indian Economy – Mishra and Puri.
    3. Indian Economy – Performance and Policies – Uma Kapila.
    4. March of Indian Economy.

    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.
