As the British government was never interested in upliftment of
our country, so they never took any initiative to measure
Indiaâ€™s national and per capita income Though
some of the economists tried to estimate
Indiaâ€™s national income and per capita income
during the colonial rule, but the results are mixed and conflicting
The following are some of the notable economists who were engaged
in estimation of national income and per capita income:
i Dadabhai Naroji
ii William Digbay
iii Findlay Shirras
iv V K R V Rao
v R C Desai

significant Most of these studies revealed that Indian economy grew
at even less than two percent during 1900-50 with half per cent
growth in per capita output per year
