A Model-Maker s Model

Ashok Rudra Discussing the book "Planning for Growth'' by R S Eckaus and K S Parikh, the author suggests that the way to appreciate the model developed by Eckaus and Parikh is to treat it not as a planner's model but as a model-maker's model There are probably very few plan models that really give a great deal of important guidance to those who are engaged in actual preparation of plans; in any case that kind of guidance is the wrong thing to look for in the book by Eckaus and Parikh.
