Is it so difficult to understand that most of the gloomy economic news that is being reported these days could be a deliberate ploy of some people who wish to make money before the next general elections??

Leopard Kills The Baboon And Adopts Its Baby Amazing! Video HD

In all the discussions that have been taking place in various TV Studios and in print media none have focussed on the two basic reasons. First an absence of quality Civil Engineers and an even greater absence of any form of regulation on their performance. The second, which is a common trend in many impossible situations that the country finds itself in, is the existence of a Civil Service which is neither equipped nor bothered about how the country needs to be managed.
Is it so difficult to get these issues rectified??

Who looks at the data

have been perusing the data published by the Planning Commission in its document for the twelfth plan. The table relating to growth in Agriculture and related sectors makes an interesting reading. Table 12.1 of the document shows that the contribution of the Agriculture and allied sectors, as a percentage of the total GDP in the ninth plan was 24% and in the 11th plan it has come down to 15.2% (estimated). What this shows is an utter neglect of the sector. yet one does not hear of any positive steps being proposed to give this sector a boost.

Saw a report in TOI of August 19th that the CAG has pointed out that there is a large variance in Govt. data that is being presented. This fact should be self evident to all those who have worked in the Govt. We have never been able to present figures which can stand any deep scrutiny. The data presented is so voluminous that it defies analysis. Further the data is prepared and compiled by people who are really not trained for this nor have, perhaps, the capabilities.
