History at a glance
Government Monopoly had significance till 1991.
India came out as a mixed economy after independence.
The deep rooted Socialistic ideas made the Government act
as monopolistic in major economic issues.
The country’s backwardness was also the main reason.
At the end of 1980’s & early 1990’s economic crisis pinged the
nation.

Why Government Monopoly failed in India?
Government owned everything in the country.
Only small & medium sectors were allowed for public.
The intension was to provide service at a reasonable cost & also employment.
The leaders intended to take forward the nation with their socialistic ideas.
The process was slow because of the Direct Democratic System.
Decision making became a tough task.
The absence of economic policies & their perfect execution dragged the economy into severe crisis.
