The education of Manmohan Singh

Former prime minister Singh’s education demonstrates the qualities that would define him: first and foremost, loyalty and determination. He also had a keen desire to translate academic ideas into concrete policies, and to put into practice the unwavering belief that India needed an economic strategy that was open to trade, let market forces operate, and used economic growth to pay for programmes to improve the lot of the country’s poorest people.
