About the Book

Punjab has historically been at the forefront of India’s economic growth, contributing significantly to agriculture, industry, and commerce. Known as the “Granary of India,” Punjab played a pivotal role in the Green Revolution, transforming India from a food-deficient country to a food-exporting nation. However, despite its economic contributions, Punjab faces several pressing challenges, including stagnation in agricultural productivity, an industrial slowdown, declining employment opportunities, and structural economic imbalances. The book is divided into seven key sections, covering economic growth and structural transformation, agriculture and rural economy, industry and manufacturing, marketing and consumer behaviour, banking and finance, education and psychology, and women entrepreneurship and empowerment. Each chapter offers in-depth research and critical insights into the economic landscape of Punjab.
