To very few would a person like L.K. Jha require any introduction. Having joined the Indian Civil Service in 1936, he held top economic posts in the Government of India. Apart from being the Secretary to two Prime Ministers, he held posts of Governor of the Reserve Bank of India, Ambassador to U.S.A., Governor of the International Monetary Fund and Governor of Jammu & Kashmir. Till his death on 17, January this year, he was a Member of the Rajya Sabha. L.K. Jha was, therefore, well qualified and equipped to write on matters of administration, especially economic administration.
