Description: This book is the direct outcome of my stay in India from 1960 to 1962, when I was a visiting fellow at Indian Statistical Institute,Calcutta. While doing an indepth study on entrepreneurship development , I found myself reasonably sympathetic of the prevailing Dirigisme Dogma with  a  futuristic optimism  in the perspective dimension of India's growth.  Professor P.C.Mahalanobis as an architect of Indian planning ,with whom I had opportunity of exchanging views quite often during my stay at his guest house , was a source of my futuristic perspectives .  What I saw beamed in the mind of emerging group of  modernizer cum entrepreneurs  in industry  were also full of emotionally justifiable optimism . This book was written at this point of  time when India  was about to move on to a  controlled change for economic growth.  It took just three decades when India has become unbound from the mal-development ideology , that is what was then popularly known as " a socialistic pattern of society".
