After independence the country faced a scarcity of food and basic amenities. The country was undergoing a transformation; the Indian economic model as envisaged by Nehru was a mixed one where private enterprise and state capital existed side by side. The current economic agenda of liberalization was freeing private enterprise and India was being viewed as an emerging giant. Part 3 of 'The Making of a Nation' puts forth the growth of the country's economy post independence where economic reforms brought out the tremendous spirit of adventure and enterprise and helped to create one of the most dynamic competitive economies and a compassionate society.
