WHO CONTROLS PRICE IN INDIA

Image
We  have state and central governments to ensure the right commodities at the right price to the people. Of late it has been noticed that while the price of a certain pack is retained as without any increase, the content of the pack is brought down considerably. This can be found by weight in some items and by numbers in some other. The variation may range upto 20%. This is equivalent to raise the price to that extent. Some well known brands are doing this for years. During the past few years they have brought down the weight by over 50%. The people expect the government to check the unreasonable price increase by any manufacturers/sellers. Similarly they are not to be allowed to slash the weight or numbers as indicated in the pack for some time/ without the permission of the concerned. The government may please look into the matter. It is also the duty of the buyers to notice the difference in the contents of any standard pack and bring to the notice of the concerned d...

BRAIN DRAIN FROM INDIA

Image
In the health sector, India being the largest populated country in the world, has 1.7 nurses per 1,000 population and 1.0 doctor per 1,404 population. According to WHO norm there should be 3 nurses per 1,000 population and 1.0 doctor per 1,100 population. As per the report of Ministry of External Affairs 32 million NRIs and OCIs are now living abroad. About 2.5 million people are leaving the country every year. These make Indian citizens the highest numbers settled abroad. Annual remittance from them in 2020-21 was $87 billion which contributes 2.75% of the GDP.  While the successive governments might be looking it as a positive sign, if get into it deeply we may find that it may not be so positive. We may see an example for this. Let us imagine about a big family of large members having plenty of fertile land. The head of the family send many members to the rich houses around to work on daily wages. From what they earn, the head of the house, wives and children of the ...

DEVELOPMENT OF INTERNATIONAL TRADE UNDER THE CHANGING SCENARIO

Image
The newly developed defence relationship between US, UK and Australia (AUKUS) had created some unexpected irritation in France. They have expressed their uneasiness by calling back their ambassadors from US and Australia. In fact it can be seen as a  trade related friction. China has already refuted the new tri-nation alliance. The US and France have already started discussion in the matter and got it patched up. However, more such alliance may come up in the near future between other countries. All these alliances may pave the way for drastically cutting down international trade by China. Consequently this will open up more and more new doors for India. We must keep ourselves ready to fill up the gaps immediately. We must conduct an extensive survey to prepare ourselves to give our goods in better quality and at a reasonable price. We may not have lavish time for this. As such we must start doing the spade works right now. India can penetrate in the world market quite ...

POLITICAL LOYALTY

Image
Merely by going through the reports of the contemporary media, it can be almost safely concluded that a good number of politicians in India are not loyal to their profession. It must be a fact that no person were ever solicited by the people en masse to be a politician and serve them. Each one of them entered into politics with their own will to serve the people.  After becoming an elected member they become like an authority and everything in the country becomes their own and the people become their servants. If a honest office in the country make a quick, secret and widespread enquiry the depth of political corruption in the country can be found. In order to get out of this dangerous situation it is necessary that the entire Judiciary, CBI and such other offices entrusted to conduct enquiry into monetory corruption should be detached from the government control and make them independent offices, but answerable to the people with the help of the law. Stringent action i...

KERALA IS ON HOT DISCUSSION ABOUT GOD

Image
Politicians who were busy in turning the tables and snatching chairs have suddenly become theologians and philosophers. One may be envied in their unfathomable knowledge about the Almighty God. Some of them talk as if they are in close contact with the God. Others express their proficiency and familiarity with the Supreme One. Their expression always trend towards my God and your God. None of these intellectuals have the basic knowledge that there is only one God; no 'my God' and 'your God'. He is the Creator of you and me. When He is your Father, He is my Father too. If you move further ahead, there is none other than and nothing other than the ever living One in the whole universe. There are umpteen amount of stories about God in our country. Let us try to know the truth that no one has ever seen the all powerful One or heard His voice. Let us learn little more that God cannot be contained in human brain. Try to see God in others. To sum up I must add that...
