Why BJP pushing FDI liberalisation


by Rajesh Parashar

Set record of FDI post liberalisation in India 

I am very surprised to know the person who opposed FDI while being a chief minister of indian state and after getting top position become flag bearer of  FDI . Changes in India’s foreign investment rules are notified in two different ways are Press Notes and Legislative Change.  Centre for strategic & International Studies (CSIS) published a report on India’s FDI Reforms Under Modi is particularly notable since, after 25 years of adopting pro-market policies, India’s foreign investment regime is already much more open than it was in the early 1990s. The Atal Vajpayee government made 29 changes to India’s foreign investment regime during its six years in office. During Manmohan Singh’s first term his government made 19 changes and 18 in its second term. The Modi government has made 37 sector reforms in just over three years—a historic pace.

Departure of State through FDI

State is started to dilute its stake from public sector unit . State want to push their growth agenda through foreign investments are considered crucial for India, which needs around $1 trillion to overhaul its infrastructure such as ports, airports and highways to boost growth. State is focus to strengthen the value of the rupee against global currencies, especially the US dollar and improve the country’s balance of payments situation. PR department of government agencies circulated that total FDI investment in India during Modi government is increased. It is perceived that only FDI can push and finance its  VIKAS MODEL "growth model"  

Departure from Swadesh Agenda 

It is RSS trained Volunteer and BJP empowered leader Mr. Narendra Modi  led central government has allowed FDI in retail doing away with mandatory local sourcing conditions after six years Modi declared that FDI in retail would help “Italian businessmen”.
Wire exposed BJP agenda how this party leader manipulating citizen rights More worrisome is the decision to set off the condition of mandatory sourcing requirement of 30% of purchases from India, for five years after the opening of the first store by the foreign company. As a result of this decision foreign companies would get freedom of procuring the products from anywhere in the globe. This would go against the interests of the domestic manufacturing and also would discourage the future investment in manufacturing in India and therefore would go against the own declared policy of the government of encouraging Make in India,” the Swadeshi Jagran Manch (SJM), a Sangh affiliate,release stated.

What Does True Government Transformation Look Like?

What Does True Government Transformation Look Like? Transformation is about an organization or program moving from one state of being to another. It implies a significant and disruptive change that is necessary when an organization shifts its mission, realigns resources, or changes the way work is done. We don’t all quite know yet what is in all the agency transformation plans mandated by OMB Memorandum 17-22. There may be some bold ideas and some also-ran ideas that perhaps have great optics, but may show little true results. So far, I have heard hints of transitioning some programs to other agencies, reducing some identified duplication, shared service implementations, and a few program reductions. Some agencies have begun offering early-outs, others allowing attrition to address workforce reductions, and still other agencies indicating there will be no workforce changes.

Global South scholars are missing from European and US journals. What can be done about it

Global South scholars are missing from European and US journals. What can be done about it South-based scholars are often not part of major debates and conversations in their field. This points to a severe imbalance in the production of new knowledge. Studies have shown that scholars in the global South are under represented in top international peer-reviewed  social  and  medical sciences journals. The global South refers to African, Asian, Latin American, and Middle Eastern countries who are also members of the  Group of 77 . The intergovernmental organisation of mainly developing countries is used to identify countries in the South. The global North includes the  Group of 8  and the five permanent members of the  UN Security Council . Our own analysis  of gender and politics journals shows scholars in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East are missing from leading journals published in the US and Europe. We found that betwe...

I t's school time again! And I have 'not got much time to evaluate pre-primary school for my daughter's admission due to work pressure and Delhi winter vacation. It is firm opinion that early childhood learning through play school or formal early elementary school provide a foundation for learning both academically and socially that will help the child to groom and succeed in their elementary school. These early elementary school promotes language, cognitive skills, social and emotional development. We always dream of getting our children placed in good schools but it is a daunting task.
