GLOBALIZATION & GLOBALIZATION OF INDIAN ECONOMY
GLOBALISATION
Globalization in India has allowed companies to increase
their base of operations, expand their workforce with
minimal investments, and provide new services to a broad
range of consumers.The process of globalization has been
an integral part of the recent economic progress made by
India. Globalization has played a major role in export-led
growth, leading to the enlargement of the job market in
India.
WHAT IS GLOBALISATION ?
Globalisation means the integration of national economies into the international
economy through trade, foreign direct investment, capital flows, migration, and the spread of
technology.
According to dictionaries
Globalisation (n) is the "process enabling financial and investment markets to operate
internationally, largely as a result of deregulation and improved communications" (Collins) or -
from the US - to "make worldwide in scope or application" (Webster). The financial markets,
however, are where the story begins.
Globalization is a process of interaction and integration among the people, companies, and
governments of different nations, a process driven by
international trade and investment and aided by information
technology. This process has effects on the environment, on
culture, on political systems, on economic development and

prosperity, and on human physical well-being in societies around the world.Globalization is not
new, though.
For thousands of years, people — and, later, corporations — have been buying from and selling to
each other in lands at great distances, such as through the famed Silk Road across Central Asia that
connected China and Europe during the Middle Ages. Likewise, for centuries, people and
corporations have invested in enterprises in other countries. In fact, many of the features of the
current wave of globalization are similar to those prevailing before the outbreak of the First World
War in 1914.
Globalization is the system of interaction among the countries of the world in order to develop the
global economy. Globalization refers to the integration of economics and societies all over the
world. Globalization involves technological, economic, political, and cultural exchanges made
possible largely by advances in communication, transportation, and infrastructure.There are two
types of integration — negative and positive. Negative integration is the breaking down of trade
barriers or protective barriers such as tariffs and quotas. In the previous chapter, trade protectionism
and its policies were discussed.
You must remember that the removal of barriers can be beneficial for a country if it allows for
products that are important or essential to the economy. For example, by eliminating barriers, the
costs of imported raw materials will go down and the supply will increase, making it cheaper to
produce the final products for export (like electronics, car parts, and clothes).
Positive integration on the other hand aims at standardizing international economic laws and
policies. For example, a country which has its own policies on taxation trades with a country with its
own set of policies on tariffs. Likewise, these countries have their own policies on tariffs. With positive integration (and the continuing growth of the influence of globalization), these countries
will work on having similar or identical policies on tariffs.

MERITS AND DEMERITS OF GLOBALIZATION
THE MERITS OF GLOBALIZATION ARE AS FOLLOWS:
There is an International market for companies and for consumers there is a wider range of
products to choose from.
Increase in flow of investments from developed countries to developing countries, which
can be used for economic reconstruction.
Greater and faster flow of information between countries and greater cultural interaction
has helped to overcome cultural barriers.
Technological development has resulted in reverse brain drain in developing countries.
THE DEMERITS OF GLOBALIZATION ARE AS FOLLOWS:
The outsourcing of jobs to developing countries has resulted in loss of jobs in developed
countries.
There is a greater threat of spread of communicable diseases.
There is an underlying threat of multinational corporations with immense power ruling the
globe.
For smaller developing nations at the receiving end, it could indirectly lead to a subtle form
of colonization.
BENEFITS OF GLOBALISATION
By buying products from other nations customers are offered a much wider choice of goods and
services.
Creates competition for local firms and thus keeps costs down.
Globalisation promotes specialisation. Countries can begin to specialise in those products they are
best at making.
Economic Interdependence among different nations can build improved political and social links.

GLOBALIZATION & GLOBALIZATION OF INDIAN ECONOMY
THE IMPORTANCES OF GLOBALIZATION ARE AS FOLLOWS:-
(a) Proper use of Resources: Globalization leads to
expansion of markets and this enable organization to make
proper use of available resources.
(b) Multiple choices: No country is self sufficient and
every country depends upon other country. Globalization
has solved this problem and people can have better choice
to satisfy their need.
(c) Foreign Exchange: Globalization encourage exports
and discourage imports. This help to earn foreign exchange.
(d) Creates Employment: Globalization helps to provide employment to a large number of people.
Multinational companies such as Business Process Outsource popularly known as Call centre
employs and appoint a large number of personnel with high pay scale and other benefits.
(e) Government incentives: Government also provides various incentives in taxes, custom duties,
pre-shipment finance, post shipment finance and many more. This is done to encourage
globalization.
(f) Technology: Technology is the latest and fruitful outcome of globalization. It is the best even
gift. Technologies not only increase efficiently but the organization and everyone having a little
knowledge can update one and can stand by world. Globalization not only enables competition but
also very much helpful for profit of maximization.

(g)Spreading of Risk of Loss: Business thy name is risk. There may be different types of losses in
every business. Various losses which may be in domestic market can be easily compensated from
international market.
(h) Benefit to the consumers: Globalization encourages free and fair competition at world level.
Due to this, organizations try to supply quality goods and that also at a reduced price. This benefits
consumers.

GLOBALIZATION & GLOBALIZATION OF INDIAN ECONOMY
RESPONSES TO "IMPORTANCE OF GLOBALIZATION"
Globalization is the comprehensive term for the emergence of a global society in which economic,
political, environmental, and cultural events in one part of the world quickly come to have
significance for people in other parts of the world. Globalization tells us about the growing
economic, political, technological, and cultural connections that connect individuals, communities,
businesses, and governments around the world. Globalization also involves the growth of
multinational corporations (businesses that have operations or investments in many countries) and
transnational corporations (businesses that see themselves functioning in a global marketplace). The
international institutions that oversee world trade and finance play an increasingly important role in
this era of globalization.
IT IS EASY TO IDENTIFY THE CHANGES BROUGHT BY GLOBALIZATION.
1. Improvement of International Trade. Because of globalization, the number of countries where
products can be sold or purchased has increased dramatically.
2. Technological Progress. Because of the need to compete and be competitive globally,
governments have upgraded their level of technology.
3. Increasing Influence of Multinational Companies. A company that has subsidiaries in various
countries is called a multinational. Often, the head office is found in the country where the company
was established.
An example is a car company whose head office is based in Japan. This company has branches in
different countries. While the head office controls the subsidiaries, the subsidiaries decide on
production. The subsidiaries are tasked to increase the production and profits. They are able to do it
because they have already penetrated the local markets.Globalization has a lot to do with the rise of
multinational corporations.
4. Power of the WTO, IMF, and WB. According to experts, another effect of globalization is the
strengthening power and influence of international institutions such as the World Trade
Organization (WTO), International Monetary Fund (IMF), and World Bank (WB).
5. Greater Mobility of Human Resources across Countries. Globalization allows countries to
source their manpower in countries with cheap labor For instance the manpower shortages in
7/29/2019 Final Proj.of Ecoo...
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/final-projof-ecoo 7/40
GLOBALIZATION & GLOBALIZATION OF INDIAN ECONOMY
Taiwan, South Korea, and Malaysia provide opportunities for labor exporting countries such as the
Philippines to bring their human resources to those countries for employment.
6. Greater Outsourcing of Business Processes to Other Countries. China, India, and the
Philippines are tremendously benefiting from this trend of global business outsourcing. Global
companies in the US and Europe take advantage of the cheaper labor and highly-skilled workers that
countries like India and the Philippines can offer.
7. Civil Society. An important trend in globalization is the increasing influence and broadening
scope of the global civil society.
Civil society often refers to NGOs (nongovernment organizations). There are institutions in a
country that are established and run by citizens. The family, being an institution, is part of the
society. In globalization, global civil society refers to organizations that advocate certain issue or
cause.There are NGOs that support women's rights and there are those that promote environment
preservation. These organizations don't work to counter government policies, but rather to establish
policies that are beneficial to all. Both the government and NGOs have the same goal of serving the
people.
One of the major forces of globalization in India has been in the growth of outsourced IT and
business process outsourcing (BPO) services. The last few years have seen an increase in the
number of skilled professionals in India employed by both local and foreign companies to service
customers in the US and Europe in particular. Taking advantage of India‘s lower cost but educated
and English-speaking work force, and utilizing global communications technologies such as voice-
over IP (VOIP), email and the internet, international enterprises have been able to lower their cost
base by establishing outsourced knowledge-worker operations in India.
As a new Indian middle class has developed around the wealth that the IT and BPO industries have
brought to the country, a new consumer base has developed. International companies are also
expanding their operations in India to service this massive growth opportunity.
Notable examples of international companies that have done well in India in the recent years
include Pepsi, Coca-Cola, McDonald’s, and Kentucky Fried Chicken, whose products have
been well accepted by Indians at large.

GLOBALIZATION & GLOBALIZATION OF INDIAN ECONOMY
ECONOMIC GLOBALIZATION
Economic globalization refers
to increasing economic
interdependence of and
national economies across the
world through a rapid increase
incross-border movement of
goods, service, technology and
capital. Whereas globalization
is centered around the rapiddevelopment of science and
technology, and increasing
cross-border division of labor
economic globalization is
propelled by the rapid growing significance of information in all types of productive activities and
marketization, and the advance of science and technologies. Depending on the paradigm, economic
globalization can be viewed as either a positive or a negative phenomenon.
Economic globalization comprises the globalization of production, markets, competition,
technology, and corporations and industries. While economic globalization has been occurring for
the last several hundred years (since the emergence of trans-national trade), it has begun to occur at
an increased rate over the last 20 – 30 years under the framework of General Agreement on Tariffs
and Trade and World Trade Organization which made countries to gradually cut down trade barriers
and open up their current accounts and capital accounts.This recent boom has been largelyaccounted by developed economies integrating with less developed economies, by means of foreign
direct investment, the reduction of trade barriers, and in many cases cross border immigration.
It can be argued that economic globalization may or may not be an irreversible trend. There are
several significant effects of economic globalization. There is statistical evidence for positive
financial effects as well as proposals that there is a power imbalance between developing and
developed countries in the global economy. Furthermore, economic globalization has an impact on
world cultures.

GLOBALIZATION & GLOBALIZATION OF INDIAN ECONOMY
HISTORY
International commodity markets, labor markets, and capital
markets make up the economy and define economic
globalization. Beginning as early as 4000 BC, people were
trading livestock, tools, and other items as a means of
money. People residing in Sumer, an early civilization in
Mesopotamia, came up with a token system that was seen as
one of the first forms of commodity money. Labor markets
consist of workers, employers, wages, income, supply, and
demand. Labor markets have been around as long as commodity markets. Labor markets grew out
of commodity markets because labor was needed to grow the crops and tend to the livestock. The
growth of commodity and labor markets grew into a capital market where companies and
governments handle longstanding funds. The process of this blending of markets in the economy
took thousands of years to become what it is today.
By the early 1911s, it was rare to come across a town that was not influenced by foreign markets —
whether it be in labor, prices, or any other policy of business. With advances in ship building
technology and the inventions of the railroad and telephone, communication with other parts of the
country and world was readily available. Towns were no longer limited to what they alone could
produce and what the next two towns over would trade with them. People everywhere had the
accessibility and resources to obtain goods from the other side of the world. However, these great
advances in economic globalization were disrupted by World War I. Most of the global economic
powers constructed protectionist economic policies and introduced trade barriers that slowed
economic growth to the eventual point of stagnation which can be seen as a precursor to the Great
Depression in the late 1920s. This caused a slowing of world-wide trade and even led to other
countries introducing immigration caps. Globalization of the economy didn‘t fully resume until the
1970s. Today, advances in technology and computer networks, both as a way of sending and
receiving information, have led to a worldwide globalization of the economy.

GLOBALIZATION & GLOBALIZATION OF INDIAN ECONOMY
There are three suggested factors that accelerated economic globalization, and they are advancement
of science and technology, market oriented economic reforms and finally contributions by
Multinational Corporations.
A reduction of transportation and communication costs is what initiated globalization economies
around the world, and this was possible mainly due to the advancement of science and technology.
Ocean shipping costs half, airfreight costs 1/6th, and telecommunications costs 1% of what it did
cost in the 1930s. This improvement has facilitated and encouraged international trade and
investment. Under the GATT and WTO framework, many countries have cut down their tariff and
non-tariff barriers. Along with this external influence, governments within its borders have shifted
its economies from central planned economies to market economies. These internal reforms have
provided commonalities among different world economies and thus helped integrate as a
whole. [14]
Multinational Corporations that expand their businesses worldwide organize production
and allocate resources all over the world. Not only are Multinational Corporations responsible for
international financial transactions, but also for workforce distributions. By setting up branch
offices, factories, and even outsourcing its services, MNCs are contributing to economic
globalization.
IRREVERSIBILITY
According to China's prominent economist Gao Shanguan, economic globalization is an irreversible
trend due to the fact that the world markets are in great need of science and information
technologies. With the growing demands of science and technology, Shanquan states that with
world markets take on an "increasing cross-border division of labor" that works its way down to
every facet of globalized markets from both developed and developing nations.
Nevertheless, Princeton University professor Robert Gilpin argues that though economic
globalization seems to be irreversible, nations' various economic policies have suppressed the
impetus for their own economies to move forward, which he states has been shown in the past, thus
debunking Shanquan's theory of economic globalization as a primarily irreversible phenomena.

GLOBALIZATION & GLOBALIZATION OF INDIAN ECONOMY
EFFECTS OF ECONOMIC GLOBALIZATION
POSITIVE EFFECTS
There are at least three positive financial
effects of economic globalization. "Per capita
GDP growth in the post-1980 globalizers
accelerated from 1.4 percent a year in the
1960s and 2.9 percent a year in the 1970s to
3.5 percent in the 1980s and 5.0 percent in the
1990s. This acceleration in growth is evenmore remarkable given that the rich countries
saw steady declines in growth from a high of
4.7 percent in the 1960s to 2.2 percent in the
1990s. Also, the non-globalizing developing countries did much worse than the globalizers, with the
former's annual growth rates falling from highs of 3.3 percent during the 1970s to only 1.4 percent
during the 1990s. This rapid growth among the globalizers is not simply due to the strong
performances of China and India in the 1980s and 1990s — 18 out of the 24 globalizers experienced
increases in growth, many of them quite substantial."
Despite many analysts' concerns about the inequality
gap between developed and developing nations, there
is no evidence to suggest that inequality increases as
international trade increases. Rather, growth benefits
of economic globalization are widely shared. Whileseveral globalizers have seen an increase in inequality,
most notably China, this increase in inequality is a
result of domestic liberalization, restrictions on
internal migration, and agricultural policies, rather than a result of international trade.
The final positive effect to be mentioneding is the narrowing gap between the rich and the poor.
Evidence suggests that the growth of globalizers, in relation to rich countries, suggests that
globalizers are narrowing the per capita income gap between the rich and the globalizing nations.
7/29/2019 Final Proj.of Ecoo...
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/final-projof-ecoo 12/40
GLOBALIZATION & GLOBALIZATION OF INDIAN ECONOMY
China, India, and Bangladesh, who were among the poorest countries in the world twenty years ago,
have greatly influenced the narrowing of worldwide inequality due to their economic expansion.
NEGATIVE EFFECTS AND SOLUTIONS
The Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) has proposed an agenda
to support conditions for developing countries to improve their standing in the global
economy.Economists have theories on how to combat the disadvantages faced by developing
countries. However, the advantaged countries continue to control the economic agenda. In order to
rectify the social injustice dilemma, international economic institutions (such as the World Bank and
the International Monetary Fund) must give voice to developing countries. A solution is to issue
global rules that protect developing countries. It is still difficult for leaders of developing nations toinfluence these global rules.
In his article, Gao Shangquan elaborates this point saying that economic globalization has in fact
expanded rather than reduced the gap between the North and South. He is referring to some UN
report in 1999, in order to show that the number of developing countries that have benefited from
economic globalization is smaller than 20, that the average trade deficit of developing countries in
1990‘s increased by 3% as compared with that in 1970s, and that over 80% of the capital is fl owing
among US, Western European and
EFFECTS ON WORLD CULTURES
Economic globalization may have various strong impacts on different world cultures. Populations
may mimic the international flow of capital and labor markets in the form of immigration and the
merger of cultures. Foreign resources and economic measures may impact different native cultures
and may cause assimilation of a native people. Researchers are now studying the effects of
economic globalization on the youth in various world populations such as Arab, South American,
South East-Asian, Caribbean, and African populations. As these populations are exposed to the
English language, Computers, western music, and North American culture, changes are being noted
in shrinking family size, immigration to larger cities, more casual dating practices, and gender roles
are transformed.
George Ritzer wrote about the McDonaldization of society and how fast food businesses spread
throughout the United States and the rest of the world, forcing world populations to adopt fast food
culture In this book Ritzer also writes about how other businesses have copied the McDonalds

GLOBALIZATION & GLOBALIZATION OF INDIAN ECONOMY
Corporation's business model for expansion and influence. In 2006, 233 of 280 or over 80% of the
new McDonalds opened were overseas. In 2007, Japan had 2,828 McDonalds locations and serves
as just one example of the globalized effect of international corporations. The Body Shop, a British
ecologically conscious cosmetic company, represents the process of McDonaldization working in all
directions. Various countries export their own versions of McDonaldization but have the same
influences in standardizing world culture.
IMPORTANCE OF ECONOMIC GLOBALIZATION
This is the main reason why you need to know and understand
all about economic globalization and what exactly it entails.
The economic globalization actually refers to the various
processes that concerns exchange of goods, services,
technological advancements, investment ca pitals, water, and
food through the means of communication, transportation, and
trade. It has really become a significant part of the daily lives
of all people. It basically balances the overall economic
structures all over the world in different countries and societies involve. It has helped a lot of
individuals who are tremendously lacking in several resources such as water, oil, sugar, electronic
discoveries, and the like.
These are the things that you must consider when learning about economic globalization. It may
seem unimportant to you but it is actually one of the most crucial topics that all people need to learn.
It truly helps all businesses and their industries to fight the current economic crisis. Now what are
you waiting for? Start educating yourself with this particular subject if you sincerely want to make
your life a whole lot better in all the right senses.

GLOBALIZATION & GLOBALIZATION OF INDIAN ECONOMY
PROS AND CONS OF ECONOMIC GLOBALZATION
Pros :
- More foreign goods. In Canada, with
economic globalization, we are able to eat
fresh fruits and vegetables in winter. Make
lives easier for us.
- With the trade happening around the world,
there is more diversity. While we are in
Canada, we can go out and eat Chinese, Thai,
Greek foods, and watch US's movie.
- Helping developing countries. Transnational
corporations setup in developing countries
offering jobs for the people in developing
countries, help those countries to recover from
poverty.
Cons: :-
Threat to local markets. When a transnationalcorporation opens up, people tends to go shop
at the transnational corporation because there
is varieties of goods to choose from. Cause
local markets' business to go downwards, and
eventually close up.
- When economic globalization is bring us
diversity, its also destroying peoples' culture.
Most movies, and TV shows that we watch
and music we listen to in Canada is produced
in US.American's culture is dominating the
world and assimilate other cultures.
- Countries become too interdependent with
each other .When one country's economic
system crashes, it will cause a huge impact to
world. It will be like the Great Depression all
over again, but this time it will happen to the
world not just America.
- When the governments of the developing
countries trying attack transnational
corporation, it causes a lot human rights
problems like child labour.

EFFECTS OF GLOBALIZATION: According to economists, there are a lot
of global events connected with globalization and integration.
The main positive effect of globalization:Globalization has opened up broader
communication lines and brought more companies as well as different worldwide
organizations into other countries. This provides opportunities for not only
workingmen, but also women, who are becoming a larger part of the workforce.
With new jobs for women, there are opportunities for higher pay, which raises
self-confidence and brings about independence. Also the positive effects are a
sharing of basic knowledge, technology, investments, resources, and ethical
values.
The main negative effect of globalization:The main negative effect of
globalization is that it's not an equal process, and often the link is only one way,
ex. resources going out of Iraq, India ect, with nothing of equal value going back

in. Also the negative effects are the rapid spread of diseases, illicit drugs, crime,
terrorism, and uncontrolled migration.
GLOBALIZATION HAS VARIOUS ASPECTS WHICH AFFECT
THE WORLD IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT WAYS SUCH AS:
Industrial - emergence of worldwide
production markets and broader access
to a range of foreign products for
consumers and companies.
Particularly movement of material and
goods between and within national
boundaries.
Financial - emergence of worldwide financial markets and better access
to external financing for borrowers. As these worldwide structures grew
more quickly than any transnational regulatory regime, the instability of the global financial infrastructure dramatically increased, as evidenced by
the financial crises of late 2008.
Economic - realization of a global common market, based on the freedom
of exchange of goods and capital. The interconnectedness of these
markets however meant that an economic collapse in any one given
country could not be contained.
7/29/2019 Final Proj.of Ecoo...
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/final-projof-ecoo 17/40
GLOBALIZATION & GLOBALIZATION IN INDIANECONOMY
17
Political - some use "globalization" to mean the creation of a world
government which regulates the relationships among governments and
guarantees the rights arising from social and economic globalization.
Politically, the United States has enjoyed a position of power among the
world powers, in part because of its strong and wealthy economy. With
the influence of globalization and with the help of The United States‘
own economy, the People's Republic of China has experienced some
tremendous growth within the past decade. If China continues to grow at
the rate projected by the trends, then it is very likely that in the next
twenty years, there will be a major reallocation of power among theworld leaders. China will have enough wealth, industry, and technology
to rival the United States for the position of leading world power.
Informational - increase in information flows between geographically
remote locations. Arguably this is a technological change with the advent
of fiber optic communications,
satellites, and increased availabilityof telephone and Internet. Indeed, the
new information and communication
technologies are dramatically
changing the way people in many
parts of the world live, learn, work or
think about work. This trend of
globalization has, in combination
with technological developments,
affected the world population in different and unequal ways. It has
resulted in rapid economic benefits for some countries while causing
acute social problems for others. In the developed countries, there have
7/29/2019 Final Proj.of Ecoo...
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/final-projof-ecoo 18/40
GLOBALIZATION & GLOBALIZATION IN INDIANECONOMY
18
been massive changes in the work content of most occupations as well as
an overall diminution of work and employment opportunities in the
industrial sector. Computer software developers and telephone service
providers in developing countries are significantly less expensive than
their counterparts in developed countries and are being employed in
increasing numbers by transnational corporations that obtain their
services while they live in their home countries.
Language - the most popular language is English.
Competition - Survival in the new global business market calls for
improved productivity and increased competition. Due to the market
becoming worldwide, companies in various industries have to upgrade
their products and use technology skillfully in order to face increased
competition.
Ecological - the advent of global environmental challenges that might besolved with international cooperation, such as climate change, cross-
boundary water and air pollution, over-fishing of the ocean, and the
spread of invasive species. Since many factories are built in developing
countries with less environmental regulation, globalism and free trade
may increase pollution. On the other hand, economic development
historically required a "dirty" industrial stage, and it is argued that
developing countries should not, via regulation, be prohibited from
increasing their standard of living.
7/29/2019 Final Proj.of Ecoo...
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/final-projof-ecoo 19/40
GLOBALIZATION & GLOBALIZATION IN INDIANECONOMY
19
Cultural - growth of cross-cultural
contacts; advent of new categories of
consciousness and identities which
embodies cultural diffusion, the desire to
increase one's standard of living and enjoy
foreign products and ideas, adopt new
technology and practices, and participate in
a "world culture". Some bemoan the resulting consumerism and loss of
languages. Also see Transformation of culture. Culture is defined as
patterns of human activity and the symbols that give these activitiessignificance. Culture is what people eat, how they dress, beliefs they
hold, and activities they practice. Globalization has joined different
cultures and made it into something different. As Erla Zwingle, from the
National Geographic article titled ―Globalization‖ states, ―When cultures
receive outside influences, they ignore some and adopt others, and then
almost immediately start to transform them.‖
One classic culture aspect is food. Someone in America can be eating
Japanese noodles for lunch while someone in Sydney, Australia is eating
classic Italian meatballs. India is known for their curry and exotic spices.
France is known for its cheeses. America is known for its burgers and
fries. McDonalds is an American company which is now a global
enterprise with 31,000 locations worldwide. Those locations include
Kuwait, Egypt, and Malta. This company is just one example of food
going big on the global scale.

SOME TOHER EFFECTS :
Some important facts about Indian education:The Indian education is notnew, some of the facts about Indian education are: Indian Ayurveda is the earliestschool of medicine known to the world and 'charaka' is known as the father of Ayurveda. He developed this system some 2500 years back. Takshila was the firstuniversity of world established in 700 B.C. Indian Nalanda University, built in 4AD, was considered to be the honor of ancient Indian system of education as itwas one of the best Universities of its time in the subcontinent. Indian languageSanskrit is considered to be the mother of many modern languages of world.Similarly place value system was developed in India in 100 B.C. India was thecountry, which invented number system. Aryabhatta, the Indian scientist, invented
digit zero. Trigonometry, algebra and calculus studies were originated in India.SoIndia seems to be an education centre since ancient days.

Indian technical education : In India there were 2942 degree level engineeringinstitutions approved by AICTE with an intake of about 10 lakh students. It is believed that there is an excess supply of unemployable engineers. According toone of study of NASSCOM about 25 % of total graduates engineers passing outevery year are employable in MNCs and rest of these have to undergo some kindof training to overcome their skill deficit. Some of the NITs have started finishingschools to bridge the skills gap of their students. In metro cities, private sectorscompanies have come forward to organize finishing schools for the students of theself financing engineering colleges in specific areas like VLSI Design, Embeddedsystem, computer added SAP, Advance computing etc. of 3 to 6 months durationto make these students employable
Challenges to technical education:Globalization has resulted in many new
challenges to the technical education system. Till recently technologies weremostly imported and the training needed for these technologies were generallycarried abroad. Globalization has opened the economy to global players in theindustry and service sectors. New products and services are being introducedcontinuously with improved quality and customer focus. The key input to thesuccess of this new brand of industries and service units is a group of highlymotivated and meticulously trained forces. The knowledge and technical skills of this work force have to be regularly updated. The engineer coming out of our institution should be capable of meeting the challenges of the modern industry.They should be up- to- date in their technical know-how. They must have a deep
sense of quality, work ethics and motivation and be conversant with the skills,interpersonal skills, team work skills,, self esteem, goal setting skills,, leadershipand creative thinking. Development of these skills are a part of curriculum inmany foreign universities.

GLOBALIZATION AND ITS IMPACT ON INDIAN ECONOMY:
DEVELOPMENTS AND CHALLENGES
Globalization (or globalization) describes a process by which regional economies,
societies, and cultures have become integrated through a global network of
communication, transportation, and trade. The term is sometimes used to refer
specifically to economic globalization: the integration of national economies into
the international economy through trade, foreign direct investment, capital flows,
migration, and the spread of technology. Globalization as a spatial integration in
the sphere of social relations when he said ―Globalization can be defined as the
intensification of worldwide social relations which link distant locations in such a
way that local happenings are shaped by events occurring many miles away and
vice – versa.‖ Globalization generally means integrating economy of our nation
with the world economy. The economic changes initiated have had a dramatic
effect on the overall growth of the economy. It also heralded the integration of the
Indian economy into the global economy. The Indian economy was in major crisis
in 1991 when foreign currency reserves went down to $1 billion. Globalization
had its impact on various sectors including Agricultural, Industrial, Financial,
Health sector and many others. It was only after the LPG policy i.e. Liberalization,
Privatization and Globalization launched by the then Finance Minister Man
Mohan Singh that India saw its development in various sectors.
ADVENT OF NEW ECONOMIC POLICY
After suffering a huge financial and economic crisis Dr. Man Mohan Singh brought a new policy which is known as Liberalization, Privatization and
Globalization Policy (LPG Policy) also known as New Economic Policy,1991 as it

was a measure to come out of the crisis that was going on at that time. The
following measures were taken to liberalize and globalize the economy:
1. Devaluation: To solve the balance of payment problem Indian currency were
devaluated by 18 to 19%.
2. Disinvestment: To make the LPG model smooth many of the public sectors
were sold to the private sector.
3. Allowing Foreign Direct Investment (FDI): FDI was allowed in a wide range of
sectors such as Insurance (26%), defense industries (26%) etc.
4. NRI Scheme: The facilities which were available to foreign investors were also
given to NRI's.
The New Economic Policy (NEP-1991) introduced changes in the areas of trade
policies, monetary & financial policies, fiscal & budgetary policies, and pricing &
institutional reforms. The salient features of NEP-1991 are (i) liberalization
(internal and external), (ii) extending privatization, (iii) redirecting scarce Public
Sector Resources to Areas where the private sector is unlikely to enter, (iv)
globalization of economy, and (v) market friendly state.
CONSEQUENCES OF GLOBALIZATION:
The implications of globalisation for a national economy are many. Globalisation
has intensified interdependence and competition between economies in the world
market. This is reflected in Interdependence in regard to trading in goods and
services and in movement of capital. As a result domestic economic developments
are not determined entirely by domestic policies and market conditions. Rather,
they are influenced by both domestic and international policies and economic
conditions. It is thus clear that a globalising economy, while formulating and

evaluating its domestic policy cannot afford to ignore the possible actions and
reactions of policies and developments in the rest of the world. This constrained
the policy option available to the government which implies loss of policy
autonomy to some extent, in decision-making at the national level.
Now for Further analysis we take up Impact of Globalization on various sector of
Indian Economy.
IMPACT OF GLOBALIZATION ON AGRICULTURAL SECTOR:
Agricultural Sector is the mainstay of the rural Indian economy around which
socio-economic privileges and deprivations revolve and any change in its structure
is likely to have a corresponding impact on the existing pattern of Social equity.
The liberalization of India‘s economy was adopted by India in 1991. Facing a
severe economic crisis, India approached the IMF for a loan, and the IMF granted
what is called a ‗structural adjustment‘ loan, which is a loan with certain
conditions attached which relate to a structural change in the economy.
Essentially, the reforms sought to gradually phase out government control of the
market (liberalization), privatize public sector organizations (privatization), and
reduce export subsidies and import barriers to enable free trade (globalization).
Globalization has helped in:
• Raising living standards,
• Alleviating poverty,
• Assuring food security,
• Generating buoyant market for expansion of industry and services, and
• Making substantial contribution to the national economic growth.

IMPACT OF GLOBALIZATION ON INDUSTRIAL SECTOR:
Effects of Globalization on Indian Industry started when the government opened
the country's markets to foreign investments in the early 1990s. Globalization of
the Indian Industry took place in its various sectors such as steel, pharmaceutical,
petroleum, chemical, textile, cement, retail, and BPO.
Globalization means the dismantling of trade barriers between nations and the
integration of the nations economies through financial flow, trade in goods and
services, and corporate investments between nations. Globalization has increased
across the world in recent years due to the fast progress that has been made in the
field of technology especially in communications and transport. The government
of India made changes in its economic policy in 1991 by which it allowed direct
foreign investments in the country. The benefits of the effects of globalization in
the Indian Industry are that many foreign companies set up industries in India,
especially in the pharmaceutical, BPO, petroleum, manufacturing, and chemical
sectors and this helped to provide employment to many people in the country. This
helped reduce the level of unemployment and poverty in the country. Also the
benefit of the Effects of Globalization on Indian Industry are that the foreign
companies brought in highly advanced technology with them and this helped to
make the Indian Industry more technologically advanced.
The negative Effects of Globalization on Indian Industry are that with the coming
of technology the number of labor required decreased and this resulted in many
people being removed from their jobs. This happened mainly in the
pharmaceutical, chemical, manufacturing, and cement industries.

IMPACT ON FINANCIAL SECTOR:
Reforms of the financial sector constitute the most important component of India‘s
programme towards economic liberalization. The recent economic liberalization
measures have opened the door to foreign competitors to enter into our domestic
market. Innovation has become a must for survival. Financial intermediaries have
come out of their traditional approach and they are ready to assume more credit
risks. As a consequence, many innovations have taken place in the global financial
sectors which have its own impact on the domestic sector also. The emergences of
various financial institutions and regulatory bodies have transformed the financial
services sector from being a conservative industry to a very dynamic one. In this
process this sector is facing a number of challenges. In this changed context, the
financial services industry in India has to play a very positive and dynamic role in
the years to come by offering many innovative products to suit the varied
requirements of the millions of prospective investors spread throughout the
country. Reforms of the financial sector constitute the most important component
of India‘s programme towards economic liberalization.
Growth in financial services (comprising banking, insurance, real estate and
business services), after dipping to 5.6% in 2003-04 bounced back to 8.7% in
2004-05 and 10.9% in 2005-06. The momentum has been maintained with a
growth of 11.1% in 2006-07. Because of Globalization, the financial services
industry is in a period of transition. Market shifts, competition, and technological
developments are ushering in unprecedented changes in the global financial
services industry.

IMPACT ON EXPORT AND IMPORT:
India's Export and Import in the year 2001-02 was to the extent of 32,572 and
38,362 million respectively. Many Indian companies have started becoming
respectable players in the International scene. Agriculture exports account for
about 13 to 18% of total annual of annual export of the country. In 2000-01
Agricultural products valued at more than US $ 6million were exported from the
country 23% of which was contributed by the marine products alone. Marine
products in recent years have emerged as the single largest contributor to the total
agricultural export from the country accounting for over one fifth of the total
agricultural exports. Cereals (mostly basmati rice and non-basmati rice), oil seeds,
tea and coffee are the other prominent products each of which accounts fro nearly
5 to 10% of the countries total agricultural exports.
· The number of rural landless families increased from 35 %in 1987 to 45 % in
1999, further to 55% in 2005. The farmers are destined to die of starvation or
suicide.
A COMPARISON WITH OTHER DEVELOPING COUNTRIES:
– India‘s share of world merchandise exports increased
from .05% to .07% over the past 20 years. Over the same period China‘s share has
tripled to almost 4%.

times smaller according to IMF estimates.
against 5% for China and 5.5% for Brazil. FDI inflows to China now exceed US $
50 billion annually. It is only US $ 4billion in the case of India.
IMPACT ON INDUSTRIES:
Industrialization is fast picking up in the developing countries whereas in the
developed countries it has almost attained the highest level. Major impacts of
liberalization and globalization on industry are:
- Adverse impact of multinational companies of small industries. It has led to the
closure of many small industries. Several people became jobless.
- Mass Production or large scale manufacturing using mechanization and assembly
line method.
- Fall in the unemployment specially in the developing countries.
- Diversification of industry with several new industies coming up.
- Fast exploitation of minerals due to increasing demand.
- Increasing demand of agricultural raw material for agro based industries.
- Increasing use of technology and it's spread throughout the world.

- Development of backward areas with installation of some industries.
- Increasing investment in the industrial sector.
- Increasing pollution and degradation of environment due to over
industrialization.
- New techniques of pollution control made available throughout the world.
- Huge increase in the trade of industrial goods.
- Competitiveness among the industries.
- Consumer oriented shift in the industry.
- Big blow to small industies.
- Better international relations among the countries.
- Public sector ignored at the cost of private sector.
GLOBALIZATION AND ITS IMPACT ON RETAIL INDUSTRY
IN INDIA
Globalization is the name for the process of increasing the connectivity and
interdependence of the world‘s market, and businesses. This process has speeded
up dramatically in the last two decades as technological advances make it easier
for people to travel, communicate, and do business internationally.(―Investor
words,‖ 2009)
Globalization has increased across the world in recent years due to the fast
progress that has been made in the field of technology especially in
communications and transport. The government of India made changes in its
economic policy in 1991 by which it allowed direct foreign investments in the

country. As a result of this, globalization of the Indian Industry took place on a
major scale.(Maps of India, 2011)
The various beneficial effects of globalization in Indian Industry are that it brought
in huge amounts of foreign investments into the industry especially in the BPO,
pharmaceutical, petroleum, and manufacturing industries. As huge amounts of
foreign direct investments were coming to the Indian Industry, they boosted the
Indian economy quite significantly. The benefits of the effects of globalization in
the Indian Industry are that many foreign companies set up industries in India,
especially in the pharmaceutical, BPO, petroleum, manufacturing, and chemical
sectors and this helped to provide employment to many people in the country. On
the other hand, Globalization can affect the economy in india negatively, it couldincreased competition in the Indian market between the foreign companies and
domestic companies, With the foreign goods being better than the Indian goods,
the consumer preferred to buy the foreign goods. This reduced the amount of
profit of the Indian Industry companies. This happened mainly in the
pharmaceutical, manufacturing, chemical, and steel industries. The negative
Effects of Globalization on Indian Industry are that with the coming of technology
the number of labor required decreased and this resulted in many people being
removed from their jobs. This happened mainly in the pharmaceutical, chemical,
manufacturing, and cement industries.
The effects of globalization on Indian Industry have proved to be positive as well
as negative. The government of India must try to make such economic policies
with regard to Indian Industry‘s Globalization that are beneficial and not
harmful.(Maps of India, 2011)

Positive implication of globalization on education:The following are thefew positive implication of globalization are : India is one of the leadingsupplier of the changing skilled manpower. Students are preparingthemselves to face challenges before them in the global village. Educationsystem getting expert facility and needed financial support frommanagement. Technicians are accepting changing paradigm and are moresecuring facilities. Salaries are now more attractive than in the nineties.Students get selected by the companies through campus recruitment anyear before the date of completion of their technical education. Moreemphasis on performance and not on number of years in the job. Moreflexibilities in timings and work from home arrangements are becomingcommon. Office automation has helped improving effeciency of employees. More and more recruitments are being made using job portals.Earlier ads were placed in the newspapers. Scientific and technological
innovations have made life quite comfortable, fast and enjoyable. Peopleare less worried for government jobs as MNC's and private or public sector are offering more lucrative jobs. Extension of internet facilities even torural areas.
Negative implications of globalization on education:Similarly, thenegative implications are: Movement of skilled students from developingto developed countries. Easy availability of educational loan. Technically better equipped institution and their practical and flexible approach is also
a future for attracting students. Commerlizations and corporate take over of education system. The first major concern is that globalization leads to amore iniquitous distribution of income among countries and withincountries. The second fear is that globalization leads to loss of nationalsovereignty and that countries are finding it increasingly difficult to followindependent domestic policies. More inflow of money has aggravated deeprooted problem of corruption? Top colleges of different streams.

Gains from globalization:The gains from globalization can be analyzed inthe context of the three types of channels of economic globalizationidentified earlier.
TRADE IN GOODS AND SERVICES :According to the standardtheory, international trade leads to allocation of resources that is consistent
with comparative advantage. This results in specialization which enhances
productivity. It is accepted that international trade, in general, is beneficial
and that restrictive trade practices impede growth. That is the reason why
many of the emerging economies, which originally depended on a growth
model of import substitution, have moved over to a policy of outward
orientation. However, in relation to trade in goods and services, there is
one major concern. Emerging economies will reap the benefits of
international trade only if they reach the full potential of their resource
availability. This will probably require time. That is why international
trade agreements make exceptions by allowing longer time to developing
economies in terms of reduction in tariff and non-tariff barriers. ―Special
and differentiated treatment‖, as it is very often called has become an
accepted principle.

GLOBALIZATION & GLOBALIZATION IN INDIANECONOMY
33
MOVEMENT OF CAPITAL: Capital flows across countries have played an
important role in enhancing the production base. This was very much true in
19th
and 20th
centuries. Capital mobility enables the total savings of the world to be
distributed among countries which have the highest investment potential. Under
these circumstances, one country‘s growth is not constrained by its own domestic
savings. The inflow of foreign capital has played a significant role in the
development in the recent period of the East Asian countries. The current account
deficit of some of these countries had exceeded 5 per cent of the GDP in most of
the period when growth was rapid. Capital flows can take either the form of
foreign direct investment or portfolio investment. For developing countries the
preferred alternative is foreign direct investment. Portfolio investment does not
directly lead to expansion of productive capacity. It may do so, however, at onestep removed. Portfolio investment can be volatile particularly in times of loss of
confidence. That is why countries want to put restrictions on portfolio investment.
However, in an open system such restrictions cannot work easily.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/final-projof-ecoo 34/40
GLOBALIZATION & GLOBALIZATION IN INDIANECONOMY
34
FINANCIAL FLOWS : The rapid development of the capital market has
been one of the important features of the current process of globalization.
While the growth in capital and foreign exchange markets have facilitated
the transfer of resources across borders, the gross turnover in foreign
exchange markets has been extremely large. It is estimated that the gross
turnover is around $ 1.5 trillion per day worldwide (Frankel, 2000). This is
of the order of hundred times greater than the volume of trade in goods and
services. Currency trade has become an end in itself. The expansion in
foreign exchange markets and capital markets is a necessary pre-requisite
for international transfer of capital. However, the volatility in the foreign
exchange market and the ease with which funds can be withdrawn from
countries have created often times panic situations. The most recentexample of this was the East Asian crisis. Contagion of financial crises is a
worrying phenomenon. When one country faces a crisis, it affects others. It
is not as if financial crises are solely caused by foreign exchange traders.
What the financial markets tend to do is to exaggerate weaknesses. Herd
instinct is not uncommon in financial markets. When an economy becomes
more open to capital and financial flows, there is even greater compulsion
to ensure that factors relating to macro-economic stability are not ignored.
This is a lesson all developing countries have to learn from East Asian
crisis. As one commentator aptly said ―The trigger was sentiment, but
vulnerability was due to fundamentals‖

GLOBALIZATION AND THE INDIAN ECONOMY
Indian markets have been transformed relatively as there is addition of wide range
of goods in the recent years. These rapid transformations can be understood by
analyzing the various aspects like:-
1) PRODUCTION ACROSS COUNTRIES: Before the middle of the twentieth
century, production was largely organized within countries. Raw materials, food
stuff and finished products were crossing the boundaries. Trade was the main
channel connecting distant countries. This was before large companies called
multinational corporations emerged pm the scene. Whence the goods and services
are produced globally and production is organized in increasingly complex ways.
The production process is divided into small parts and spread out across the globe.
The advantages o f spreading out production across the borders to the
multinationals can be truly immense.
2) INTERLINKING PRODUCTION ACROSS COUNTRIES: Almost all
MNC‘s set up production where it is close to the markets; where there is skilled
and unskilled labour available at low costs; and where the availability of other
factors of production is assured. The money that is spent to buy assets such as
land, building, machines and other equipment is called investment. Investment
made by MNC‘s is called foreign investment. At times, MNC‘s set up production
jointly with some of the local companies of these countries. MNC‘s provide
money for additional investments like buying new machines for faster production
and they might bring with them the latest technology for production. As a result,
production in these widely dispersed locations is getting interlinked.

GLOBALIZATION & GLOBALIZATION IN INDIANECONOMY
36
3) FOREIGN TRADE AND INTEGRATION OF MARKETS Foreign trade
has been the main channel for connecting countries. It is an opportunity for the
producers to reach beyond the domestic markets. Producers can sell their produce
not only in markets located within the country but can also compete in markets
located in other countries of the world. Similarly, for the buyers, import of goods
produced in another country is one way of expanding the choice of goods beyond
what is domestically produced. Therefore, foreign trade results in connecting the
markets of integration of markets in different countries.
4) BY UNDERSTANDING THE MEANING OF GLOBALIZATION:
Globalization means integrating the Indian economy with the world economy. In
the process India becomes economically interdependent with other countries at the
global or international level. It seeks removal of trade barriers.
There are various features of globalization they are:
1. Many producers from other countries can sell their goods and services in India.
2. India can also sell its goods and services in other countries.
3. Businessmen of other countries can establish their enterprises in India, produce
goods for sale within the country or to other countries as export.
4. In the same way entrepreneurs from India can also invest in other countries.
5. Globalization includes not only movement of capital and goods but also allows
exchange of technology experience and laborers from one country to other and
6. In pursuance of this policy government of India has removed restrictions on
imports of goods, reduced taxes .

GLOBALIZATION & GLOBALIZATION IN INDIANECONOMY
37
5) FACTORS ENABLED GLOBALIZATION: Rapid improvement in
technology has been one major factor that has stimulated the globalization process.
This has made much faster delivery of goods across long distances possible at
lower costs. There have been remarkable developments in information and
communication technology. Information and communication technology has
played a major role in spreading out production of services across countries.
Removing barriers or restrictions set by the government is what is known as
liberalization. The government imposes much less restrictions than before and is
therefore said to be more liberal.
6) WTO – meaning and its functions: It was set up in 1995 by the member
countries of the United Nation to promote trade among countries. Headquarter is
located in Geneva. It has influenced the liberalization and globalization processes
in most of the developing countries, including India. It aims at conducting
international trade among countries of the world in an open uniform and non-
discriminating manner. WTO allows free trade to all, in practice, in developed
countries. On the other hand, it rules have forced the developing countries to
remove trade barriers.
7) IMPACT OF GLOBALIZATION IN INDIA: Globalization has taken an
important place in the Indian economy for the last fifteen years. Globalization in
combination with greater competition among producers – internal as well as
external, has been of greater advantage to consumers, particularly the well-off
sections in the urban areas. Although the impact of globalization has not been
uniform, because, MNC have increased their investments in India during the last
fifteen years, which has proved to be beneficial to India. Mushrooming of
industries like cell phones, automobiles electronics, soft drinks, fast food or

GLOBALIZATION & GLOBALIZATION IN INDIANECONOMY
38
services, via MNCs have created new avenues. It has given an opportunity to the
raw material suppliers to prosper too. On the other hand, the top Indian companies
have been able to benefit from the increased competition by investing in new
technology and production methods and raised their production standards.
Moreover, globalization has enabled some large Indian companies to emerge as
multinationals themselves! Some of the Indian companies which are spreading
their operations world-wide are Tata-Motors (automobiles), Infosys (IT), Ranbaxy
(Medicines), Asian Paints (Paints). It has created new opportunities for companies
providing services, particularly those involving IT. But for a large number of small
producers and workers, globalization has posed major challenges. Globalizationand the pressure have also posed a threat to the worker‘s jobs, as they are not
secure any more. Workers are low and workers are forced to work overtime to
make both ends meet. The workers are sometimes denied their fair share of
benefits which is brought about by globalization.
8) THE STRUGGLE FOR A FAIR GLOBALIZATION: Globalization has not
benefited everyone by way of not giving the best of the new opportunities and
have not shared the proper benefits. Fair globalization would create opportunities
for all and ensure the benefits of globalization are shared better. It is possible if
government takes major steps in this respect. The policies should be framed to
protect the interests of all the people in the country, such as labour laws are
properly implemented and thus the workers get their rights. By supporting small
producers to improve their performance till the time they become strong enough to
compete.

CONCLUSION :-
India‘s GDP growth has soared from 5-6% a few years ago to 9% today. If this growth is
sustained, as the 11th Plan hopes to do, average living standards will rise and poverty will
be reduced. Mere growth of the GDP and others at the macro level in billions does not
solve the chronic poverty and backward level of living norms of the people at the micro
level. The growth should be sustainable with human development and decent
employment potential. The welfare of a country does not percolate from the top, but
should be built upon development from the bottom.
India gained highly from the LPG model as its GDP increased to 9.7% in 2007-2008. In
respect of market capitalization, India ranks fourth in the world. But even after
globalization, condition of agriculture has not improved. The share of agriculture in the
GDP is only 17%. The number of landless families has increased and farmers are still
committing suicide. But seeing the positive effects of globalization, it can be said that
very soon India will overcome these hurdles too and march strongly on its path of
development. The lesson of recent experience is that a country must carefully choose a
combination of policies that best enables it to take the opportunity - while avoiding the
pitfalls. For over a century the United States has been the largest economy in the world
but major developments have taken place in the world Economy since then, leading to the
shift of focus from the US and the rich countries of Europe to the two Asian giants- India
and China. Economics experts and various studies conducted across the globe envisage
India and China to rule the world in the 21st century. India, which is now the fourth
largest economy in terms of purchasing power parity, may overtake Japan and become
third major economic power within 10 years. To conclude we can say that the
modernization that we see around us in our daily life is a contribution of Globalization.
Globalization has both positive and as well as negative impacts on various sectors of
