Economy of Gujarat

In my second year undergraduate course for economics, we had a paper called 'Economy of Gujarat'. There were no comprehensive textbooks or notes to guide us and loads of time was wasted in just collecting information. This is an attempt to make my entire set of notes available on the net so that it is easily accessible to all my juniors and anybody else who may find it to be useful. The preparation of these notes was a lot of work and it would really be a shame, if i was the only one who would use it.

Given below is the syllabus. I will update the blog with about one topic being covered every day. Every time I blog on a topic, it will be linked to from this page. So, this page will also work as the table of contents.
