Raghav_12 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 CRISIL Report " Don't compare new GDP data series with old" : Chief statistician TCA Anant LINK Meaningful numbers are not necessary , Mr.Statistician . We are already convinced that there was ZERO progress for a decade and then "Great Leader" single-handedly rebuilt the economy in a single year. In the words of the incomparable Stephen Colbert : "Reality has a well-known liberal bias" Really need to go through the total data and process to comment on the numbers. There seems to be lot of mess created around numbers, may be with the vested interest of putting numbers in good light. This guy had generated numbers for Gujrat which were questioned by many, so won't be surprised if he is up to same thing at center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texan Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 We have a new lizard We have many of them. Just like when you use a pest repellent, these lizards run away every time a new AAP or Congress controversy is unearthed. They come back when effects of the repellent start fading away.

Khalpat Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 India's push to accommodate a booming urban population and attract investment rests in large part with dozens of "smart" cities like the one being built on the dusty banks of the Sabarmati river. So far, it boasts modern underground infrastructure, two office blocks and not much else. The plan, however, is for a meticulously planned metropolis complete with gleaming towers, drin ..

Khalpat Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 http://profit.ndtv.com/news/economy/article-pm-modis-coal-turnaround-to-ease-chronic-power-cuts-this-summer-755377?pfrom=home-lateststories PM Modi's Coal Turnaround to Ease Chronic Power Cuts This Summer New Delhi: Fewer power cuts are likely in the country this summer after a surge in output at Coal India helped generators amass record stocks, a turnaround for Prime Minister Narendra Modi who had to battle a power crisis within months of becoming prime minister last May. Fast-track mine approvals, tighter production oversight and more flexibility in coal sales have helped power station stocks recover from a six-year low hit in October, vindicating PM Modi's pitch to voters as the chief minister who brought round-the-clock power to industrial Gujarat. As the PM prepares to mark his first year in office and seeks to fulfil a poll promise to provide power to all of India's 1.2 billion people by 2019, power stations hold 28 million tonnes of coal, a 38 per cent jump from a year ago, government data shows. "The situation is improving," said K. Raja Gopal, head of the thermal power business at construction, power and real estate conglomerate Lanco Infratech, pointing to recent growth in Coal India output. "More needs to be done but 8 to 9 per cent didn't happen before." India, the world's third-largest coal buyer, is expected to cut imports by a fifth in the fiscal year to March 31 from an estimated 200 million tonnes in the previous year. Power companies have relied on imports for 15 per cent of their coal needs. India suffered one of its worst blackouts in 2012 due to a shortage of coal plus outdated transmission lines and an over-burdened grid. Power shortages shaved 0.4 per cent off GDP in 2012/13, industry body FICCI estimates. Coal stocks fell to zero at New Delhi's Badarpur power station last October but now there is enough to last 43 days going into the peak demand season. The situation is similar at many other power plants across India, where over 60 per cent of electricity is generated by coal. State-controlled Coal India also holds pit-head stocks of 53 million tonnes that can be shipped before the four-month monsoon season starting in June, a company source said. The company's output rose 32 million tonnes to 494.2 million tonnes in 2014/15, the biggest volume rise in its four-decade history, Chairman Sutirtha Bhattacharya told Reuters. Output is expected to jump to 550 million tonnes in 2015/16 and 1 billion tonnes by 2019/20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asterix Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 PM spoke about farmer suicides in the Parliament... He should have announced some specific packages instead of doing general bakchodi... "We all have to work together and all those shyte..." Come to think of it, I think he least cares about farmers and agriculture... Given an option he would like to have all Indians working on projects, bullet trains, industries etc and would prefer to depend on food imports... Since agriculture is now non-profitable, why not get effing rid of it and start importing food... Lets reduce India from one of the largest producers of agricultural products to a food importing country... Given his ways so far I'm pretty much getting his Gujarat style of working which he's extended now to all over India... no doubt he has good intentions and have done good job in various other aspects... But his development model is industry oriented and Opposition parties are not wrong in accusing him about it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt there is many countries in world which are developing because of Agriculture..but i agree we have to improve agriculture as well. Biggest problem facing agriculture now is labour shortage ,no one works for less amount of money when they can easily earn doubly by driving vehicles in cities.We have a little farm in back home its very difficult to find people to work. Even if you get some one they rarely work properly for 8 hours. So getting a good return after paying labors and other expenditure is not easy.

Detonator Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I doubt there is many countries in world which are developing because of Agriculture..but i agree we have to improve agriculture as well. Biggest problem facing agriculture now is labour shortage ,no one works for less amount of money when they can easily earn doubly by driving vehicles in cities.We have a little farm in back home its very difficult to find people to work. Even if you get some one they rarely work properly for 8 hours. So getting a good return after paying labors and other expenditure is not easy. We need a widespread and a well organized co-operative model for agriculture for coping labour problem. Back in 70's each village will have a farmers pool, who jointly work on each other's land instead of getting dedicated labours. Almost everyone in India followed this model till 80's but in the last 2 decades the practice stopped. The primary reason being the increase in real estate, which leads to fight between neighbouring small land owners fighting for 2 feet or 3 feet worth of land, which costs lakhs of rs. There are cases of stopping the water irrigation to other lands from the common well to murder cases. This is followed in few villages around coimbatore espicially for cotton, turmeric and sugarcane farms, which are implemented by the turmeric market associations, textile associations and sugar industries. Govt has to do something for this, and it's not much difficult to implement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
