"The Reserve Bank of
India is the central bank of the country entrusted with monetary
stability, the management of currency and the supervision of the financial
as well as the payments system.
Established in 1935, its functions and
focus have evolved in response to the changing economic environment. Its
history is not only intrinsically interwoven with the economic and
financial history of the country, but also gives insights into the thought
processes that have helped shape the country's economic policies. Here we
present some facets of the Bank's history for the layperson. We look
forward to the viewer's suggestions and comments." |
