This volume covers a period of eight weeks from December 1948 to February 1949, during which nation-building was Nehru's major concern. Recasting the finances, setting up new industries, inculcating a scientific outlook, promoting self-sufficiency in food and suggesting changes in the food habits of people absorbed much of his attention. These issues went along with his general concern for educational and cultural advancement and a keen interest in the development of languages.
