7 The data collected by the different Governmernt departments showed that the speed of the
economic growth of the country was slow. The Government was worried over such a situation. On
investigation it was revealed that the people were disillusioned with industry. In order to attract the
attention of the people towards industry, the Government finished the compulsion of obtaining
license for several types of industry. The restriction imposed on transporting goods from one
place to another were removed. The producers were given freedom to fix prices of goods and
services. Similarly, the Government simplified the policy of Import and Export also. Within a few
days the positive results of such an approach became evident.

level of performance. The reason for the Government to make this decision was that the different
departments of an industrial unit in the Public Sector do not work with coordination with one
another. The situation in the Private Sector is entirely opposite to it.
