HERE IS AN ECONOMIC QUANTUM LEAP FOR INDIA

Image
We  are on the top layer of the world in GDP, Agricultural products (top in milk,  and pulses), Industry etc. Above all we are the largest manpower in the world. Despite all these, may be due to miscalculations by successive governments, all that we made for the country could not be equally distributed among the people. While comparing with many countries in the world, per capita Income of our people are much low. There is no meaning for finding reasons for this. We have to plug the holes immediately. During the run of about  eight decades we could cross many hurdles and set many milestones and reach the level of most advanced economies of the world. But for one reason or the other we could not raise the per capita income of the people of India to the level of the advanced countries of the world. In other words the great achievements made by the country could not reach the people evenly. We may attain this at the earliest. Here we propose a Three Zero Project ...

CORRUPTION BEGINS WITH UNWANTED LAWS

Image
The  above report by a leading Malayalam daily narrate the story of corruption in detail. Opportunity for corruption is created. The vigilance department might have submitted the report to the concerned. No action by the authorities concerned. Corruption is allowed to grow. A petty fee made applicable for transporting tody from one district to another district of Kerala, after  a permit is made compulsory. The fee for the permit is Rs 2/- and the corruption for the transfer is Rs 60/-. If the government abandon this unwanted law the corruption will end there. If the government continue with it can be presumed naturally that the corruption is carried with the knowledge of the concerned authorities. Everyone must know that this corruption is done from the pockets of the poor tody drinkers of the state. It is really a pathetic story. If anyone can find an end to this please do it.
