Money and Monetary Policy in Less Developed Countries- Survey of Issues and Evidence

In less developed countries money's role need neither be denigrated nor exaggerated, Money's traditional functions as medium of exchange and store of value remain important in these countries, but its function as a conduit of resources from savers to investors is more central to an understanding of its con- tribution to development. This view of money and monetary policy in the less developed countries has been strengthened in recent years by a growing body of theoretical and empirical work in this area.

The New Agricultural Strategy-Its Contribution to 1967-68 Production

Review of Agriculture March 1969 ever, is : whether the assorted variety of opportunistic political groupings called united fronts and other Governments that rule the States will ever agree to dilute their powers in the manner suggested by Krishnaswamy, Only a bright optimist will answer this question in the affirmative.
