The new amendment has put a burden of Rs 48 crore on the state exchequer. So the health department has written to finance department for its approval. |

| Subir Roy: Money alone can't buy inclusive growth | 08-JUL-09 |
|
| The Union Budget gives the first clear indication of how willing and able the second avatar of the UPA government is in delivering inclusive growth. The signal is that it is willing, but it is a bit open if it will be able to. The willingness, putting your money where your mouth is, comes through in actions such as sharply hiking the allocation for the flagship employment guarantee programme, the rural health mission, rural roads and the urban renewal mission. |

|
| Government is back. At least that’s the lesson I draw from the new UPA Government’s major policy statement, the President’s address (PA) to Parliament last week. Roughly speaking, the two decades 1985-2004 saw the progressive dismantling of government controls over foreign trade and payments, industry, prices, finance, capital markets and investment. The tax system was substantially reformed. |
