Background

Every single economy whether poor or rich; developed, develop-

ing or underdeveloped ; industrial or agricultural; capitalist, or

socialist, revolves around the single, powerful, and inescapable

reason, to cope with the problems created by scarcity. Scarcity

commands that we cannot have everything we want, forcing us to

make unwelcome choices. At individual and nations level both,

scarcity is the root of problems to be balanced. Scarcity is, of

course, a more serious threat at some times and at some places

than at others. It has many faces, and cruellest is suffering by se-

vere poverty.

We live in a world of scarcity where mostly all people want and

need variety of goods and services. This applies equally to the

poor and the rich people, but at any one point of time, only a lim-

ited amount of goods and services can be produced. This is be-

cause the existing supplies of resources are extremely inadequate.

These resources are land, labour, capital and entrepreneurship etc.

These factors of production or inputs are used in producing goods

and services that are called economic goods which have a piece.

The expectation of a rising standard of living over time, so auto-

matic for us, is effectively beyond the realm of possibility for the

hundreds of millions who have the misfortune of comprising the

world are desperately poor.

Thus every society is faced with the basic problem of deciding

what it is willing to sacrifice to produce the goods it wants the

most. This effects all the three sector of Indian economy as India

is the land of vast natural resources but with huge population. The

primary sector -agriculture facing the problem of food security

and food safety, secondary- sector industry facing the problem of

imbalanced demand and supply in post demonetisation and GST

era and lastly service sector facing the problem of surplus human

resource leading to massive unemployment.

The objective of the seminar is to provide an ideal platform where

the experiences and thoughts can be shared and assimilated to

come up with a unified understanding of redefining scarcity and

choice theory in the view of Indian sectorial economy.
