The 'L' word21-SEP-09
The introduction of the Land Acquisition Amendment Bill (2009) has the potential to derail economic development.
A good beginning02-SEP-09
The second Manmohan Singh government has got off to a more ambitious start in its first 100 days than any since perhaps Rajiv Gandhi’s in 1985. To be sure, the Vajpayee government did the atomic big bang once it assumed office, and the Narasimha Rao government did the big bang economic reforms in its first few weeks, in 1991. UPA-II has done nothing remotely comparable in terms of ‘big bang’ impact. But in terms of the range of initiatives, legislative and executive, perhaps only the Rajiv Gandhi government compares. A quick reading of the list should make this clear.
UPA-II effect: FIIs infuse Rs 23,000 cr in 100 days30-AUG-09
Call it the effect of the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government or a hope of a revival for the Indian stock markets, the country has witnessed an inflow of nearly Rs 23,700 crore from overseas investors since the new term of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
High on expectations05-JUL-09
If the Budget is status quo, the market will not fall much and the rewards for going long would be high.
UPA-II brings back focus on social sector03-JUN-09
As indicated by Union finance minister Pranab Mukherjee, the UPA government has already initiated process to make higher allocation in social sector. The U?nion ministry of rural development has already written to state governments to send fresh proposals for allocation to be made in the NREGS and Backward Region Grant Fund (BRGF) for their states. The states have been asked to submit their proposals within 15 days. According to Dilip Ghosh, special secretary, Panchayat Raj department of West Bengal, the Centre has indicated that the demand for grants for those projects should be hiked at least by 50 per cent.
