"RBI History Volume 4" will be released by the Prime Minister Dr.Manmohan Singh on August 17, 2013 at his residence 7, Race Course Road, New Delhi. The volume covers the period from period 1981--1997. The Advisory Committee which guided the preparation of the book was headed by Dr.Bimal Jalan. I am happy that the publication is in two parts unlike the previous volumes--which are fat and difficult to handle. I had written to RBI to bring it out in two volumes quoting the eloquent Winston Churchill Story. When Winston Churchill was presented a fat book for reading he declared - "This is the sort of book I will fling away with all the force at my command." I requested them to bring out the History in two volumes. I have given in writing too.
The volume is priced at Rs.2195/-. To date RBI has published three volumes of its History -
Volume One ---1935--1951
Volume Two----1951--1967
Volume Three--1967--1981
