The article profiles Indian economist K.N. Raj and examines his philosophies on economics. It is attested that Raj was known for his concern for the poor and his belief that the concept of inclusive growth is a central tenet of economic development. His professional history is provided, which includes his departure from a government job to focus upon teaching and conducting research at the Delhi School of Economics. Particularly focused upon in this paper are Raj’s attempts to develop Indian economic policies, his familiarity with the labour market, and his beliefs about economic implementation within the framework of democracy.
