This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is a fashion now to talk about China & India in year 2050. Whether it is a political meeting, economic forum, seminar, symposium, workshop and conference or by whatever name you call of public gathering, everywhere one talks about possible size of two economies after half century, irrespective of level of gathering whether local, national or international. If the miracle leads and India supercedes developed nations to become largest economy, it will be pleasure for all. But all projections that have taken place so far considered deteriorating social health of the nation? And can economic growth be independent of individual efforts & social health? Do one agree that better psychic & social health improves economic efficiency? Here, I want to bring few observations to the audience that seems to be very relevant for projected economic growth of India. If planners are convinced they should take review of the projections in this directions, or the rulers who are helm of affairs should take serious measures to mitigate them. It implies therefore, that projections are not impossible to achieve, but to be super economy; India has to do lot more on social front. I am just narrating few of my observations that need to be musing seriously. The number of suicides particularly by farmers, in Maharashtra has raised from 1083 in 1995 to 4,147 in 2004. Total suicides in 2001, Maharashtra (14618), Karnataka (11881), Tamil Nadu (11290), Andhra Pradesh (10522) have highest suicide rates respectively. According to Emile Durkheim, this kind of suicide falls within the purview of 'Anomic Suicide' - one of the classifications of suicide. In fact, anomic suicide results from normlessness or deregulation in society. Suicide per 100,000 population in Kerala, 27.7, Goa, 21.4, Tamilnadu, 20, AP, 17.2, Maharashtra, 14.5, Gujarat 8.9. If we go by Emile Durkheim, a French sociologist says that suicide is a social fact and not simply an individual act but a product of social forces external to the individual. A survey report conducted by the agency of the Govt. of India that reveals most developed states have more suicide rate as compared to the most backward states. Does it means that it is the side effect of reform therefore? Carry out projections by 2050 without ignoring these facts. The another front, as a teacher I see that during this academic year, at least six of my students comes in the class with bandage, plaster or walker in the class. There are approximately 400,000 road crashes causing injury in India each year, resulting in 85,000 deaths and 1.2 million seriously injured. The World Health Organization (WHO) has projected that by 2020 road accidents will be a major killer in India accounting for 546,000 deaths and 15,314,000 disability-adjusted life years lost. Vehicles are increasing at accelerated growth but road does not commensurate with that rate. 70% of the fuel is imported by India. Carry out projections by 2050. 11 thefts in my city every day, 1000 accidents, 500 death by accident, 600 murders in the city every year, 1 dacoity in a day and all type of crime on high growth rate. This is scenario of Ahmedabad, a peaceful & prosperous city. In my neighboring three marriages took place in last one year. All broken. My brother visited me few months back, narrated story of my village like this, 32 marriages took place in the peak season and by Diwali 28 were broken. Carry out projections by 2050. 800 female per 1000 male in many districts of state of Gujarat and even same scenario in other state like Hariyana. Replication through out the country in more or less in the same proportion and carry out projections by 2050 carefully. According to recent media reports, some three crore cases are pending in all courts. There are many other international survey that has taken place, on corruption front, as some time back in a corruption index India was ranked 83 among 133 countries, India's low health spending means India ranks an abysmal 171 out of 175, doing business India is ranked on very low preference on different number on different criterions. India's Human Development Indicator rank is 127. India's literacy rate is around 65% and only 12 out of 1000 are able to complete higher education. Since last decade there is no single party government at the center, and in foreseeable future it seems to be unattainable. There is continuous friction between constituents of the ruling parties at center & states, legislation & judiciary and fluctuations in various state policies. In the name of name of reforms many are made homeless, evacuated from houses to build roads and to satisfy builders. In a week 5000 families' houses were demolished. Houses are evacuated because they were possessing 'illegal' land. I have put the word in italic, because slums dwellers were staying there since 148 years! Law is like wheat flour, you can make bread or chapatti or pudding as you like. By merely interpreting land may become 'illegal'. What I propose here is reform without social concern, without human face may no succeed in long run. And the serious problem in the country is no body is bothering about the pain of society. India is peaceful & generous society, ancient & since time memorial. Family system is considered one of the reasons of robust economy status by many authors. India brought Domestic Violence Act to prevent crime against women by relatives. Now the government is likely to propose Act that ensures Parents' welfare by the children. Can society be build by intervention in household affairs? And is it really so bad situation in family widely that government need to bring series of law to curb family disruptions? There are many fronts where deteriorating social health is a great concern and creates doubt whether economic growth is possible without healthy society? And whether economic performance at macro level is not depending upon micro level? There is no interdependence? And if it is so, whether the projections have taken care of very essential elements of development at social & economic front? To achieve 5-7% growth rate for half century require power supply at same or higher growth rate. Automobile & Mobile industry is growing at fast rate, is it possible to accommodate produced vehicles on the roads? Is it possible to import fuel even if fuel prices goes up internationally? I must say, I am not pessimistic, but would like to be cautious and as a torchbearer, would like to bring the facts to the notice of thinkers. I conclude by saying that, the detail survey of the household problems be conducted nation wide, inviting social activists, educationists, psychiatrists, economists, engineers, environmentalist and other intellectuals.

Download or read book India 2050 written by Ramgopal Agarwala and published by SAGE Publications Pvt. Limited. This book was released on 2019-01-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can India achieve a high-income status by 2050 when it celebrates the centenary of its Republic? Will the nation eliminate absolute poverty and improve its human development record? This book emphasizes the centrality of a trade-oriented services sector led by communication, business services, health, education, research, and innovations for achieving these growth targets. It also argues that inclusiveness, financial prudence, and low-carbon lifestyles are preconditions to long-term growth. India can achieve such prosperity neither through the socialistic policies of 1950–80 nor through the neo-liberalistic policies since 1980. It needs to, instead, follow a middle-path approach closer to the systems adopted by Germany and the Nordic countries. It is within this framework that India will devise its independent development paradigm rooted in its own traditions and realities.

This book was released on 2023-10-22 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book portrays India as a representative of post-colonial democratic republic states with a parliamentary form of federal-structured government and analyzes the critical challenges faced by such states in generating broadly shared economic well-being and quality of life. The reader is shown how creating and utilizing physical, human, financial, and social assets under the aegis of public policies help achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to provide a global framework to move toward a more equitable, peaceful, resilient, and prosperous society by 2030. It not only addresses how the state’s capacity has long been linked to the available economic resources, but also unfolds how the political system thus evolves to crucially determine the capacity of the state to implement its programs. The chapters of this book are particularly focused on judging the state’s capacity amid the neo-liberal ascendancy that has been triggered by the opening up of both the domestic and external economy, significantly initiated since 1991 and popularly known as the economic reforms in India. Examined here is the potency of the public policies of the country in fulfilling the sustainable development agendas, the specificity of which places the state at the heart of its execution, unlike many other versions of development that would be executed in parallel with or without states’ action. This work book has three principal foci facets within the broad swath of discussions covered by different chapters: (1) It critically examines how successful remains the public policies in mobilizing the population is mobilized to the next orbit of income, employment, education, and health consequent to amid the existing considerable magnitude of social and economic inequalities while achieving “equity” has always been the declared agenda in the post-reform public policy frameworks; (2) It traces the rationality of the transformation of the public policies and welfare strategies during the post-reform period in terms of motives, goals, and coverage to achieve the SDGs; and, (3) It reviews specific post-reform policies in terms of their potency to stimulate the system in addressing sustainable development. and upholding the state’s dominant and structuring intervention to resolve the existing inequalities and ensure that society develops amidst a harmonious world reconciled with nature.

Download or read book Development and Sustainability written by Sarmila Banerjee and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-07-08 with total page 622 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the reforms undertaken in the last two decades, India’s economic landscape has been radically transformed. This book examines the new economic map, which is shown to be shaped by two intertwined currents: globalization and sustainability. Weaving extensively through these currents and the canvas of development in the Indian economy they open up, this work seeks to introduce new methodologies, a corpus of concepts and modes of analysis to make sense of the emerging order of things. What transpires in the course of the investigation is a critical reflection of the present in which not only the new institutions, policies and practices are analyzed, but their limitations, fragility and at times myopic approaches are brought to light. By highlighting the rough edges created by the new conditions, this book is firmly engaged with the frontier of the Indian economy and ends up challenging many well-known conjectures and assumptions. In doing so, it strives to shift the Indian economy to a new terrain, thereby fundamentally re-locating and re-orienting the discourse of that economy as a unique object of analysis.

Download or read book Why Growth Matters written by Jagdish Bhagwati and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In its history since Independence, India has seen widely different economic experiments: from Jawharlal Nehru's pragmatism to the rigid state socialism of Indira Gandhi to the brisk liberalization of the 1990s. So which strategy best addresses India's, and by extension the world's, greatest moral challenge: lifting a great number of extremely poor people out of poverty? Bhagwati and Panagariya argue forcefully that only one strategy will help the poor to any significant effect: economic growth, led by markets overseen and encouraged by liberal state policies. Their radical message has huge consequences for economists, development NGOs and anti-poverty campaigners worldwide. There are vital lessons here not only for Southeast Asia, but for Africa, Eastern Europe, and anyone who cares that the effort to eradicate poverty is more than just good intentions. If you want it to work, you need growth. With all that implies.
