She was known as multi-personality as professional economist, institution builder and public policy expert. She was internationally well known economist and public policy expert on range of issues from industrial development, urban development, social sectors, etc.
She was one of few economists in India who boldly criticized the economic policies of socialist era which failed miserably by creating poverty and scarcity killing of millions of people.
A decade ago, she wrote column in The Indian Express about case studies of urban issues and challenges which is not only a bottom up approach to read the public policies but also provided a global view upon which she was closely connected and bridged the policy nexus. Later,the articles were put together in book form, which again was most interesting reading.
Here are few links to news items on her career and achievements over many decades.
