520			_aThe passing away of Manmohan Singh has left a big void in India’s political and economic scene. The reformer who changed the direction of India’s economy and put it on a track of faster growth is no more. The nation will always be grateful to him. The year 1991 is an important landmark in the post-independent economic history of our country. The country faced an acute economic crisis triggered by a severe balance of payments problem. The answer to the crisis was to put in place a set of reforms aimed at stability and structural changes. Structural reforms were needed to prevent the recurrence of such crises and to make the economy grow faster. The reform path was charted out by Singh under the overall protective cover provided by the then Prime Minister P V Narasimha Rao.- Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/2025/2/commentary/passing-scholar-statesman.html
