In India Needs A Practical Economic Policy : Agarwala aligns his presidential address with Prime Minister Shastri's New Economic Policy — welfare of the common man, manageable plan size, food urgency and quick-yielding projects — treating it as the pragmatic frame his own diagnosis demands.

In Indian Planning at the Cross-Roads : Santhanam argues that Lal Bahadur Shastri's first year in office has stabilised the country and that the immediate task is plan consolidation rather than fresh expansion — using Shastri's stabilisation as the political ground for his one-year Third-Plan extension.

In India's Nuclear Ambitions: Minoo Masani as a Liberal Peacenik : Lal Bahadur Shastri is noted as the PM under whom Masani's economic objection to the nuclear bomb aligned with official government policy, situating Masani's position within the mainstream of the mid-1960s policy debate.

In The Aborted Promise of Economic Liberalisation in Mid-1960s : Shastri's tenure as PM is the central historical episode of the essay — his pragmatic economic opening is examined in detail as an aborted liberalisation attempt.
