IT and Communications used to function as one ministry until 2016, when the department of electronics & information technology was made a separate portfolio.
India’s policymakers need to ensure that labourers, and milk and newspaper delivery workers, do not have to sacrifice food just to keep a roof over their heads.
In the latest budget, the FDI limit was increased to 100 percent, but most foreign companies are not buying such large stakes in the Indian insurance sector.

As Narendra Modi becomes India’s second-longest consecutively serving Prime Minister, we look at how he compares with Indira Gandhi across four key dimensions.
Modi is neither bothered about economy nor india, he is only concerned to be seen globe trotting, enjoys being on world stage. The economic disparity is increasing between the rich and poor, indias natural resources like coal, gas and oil and licenses for telecom or industrial plants are being given to super rich with this govt exploiting our tax paying citizens to save the psus neck deep in debt having financed the supra rich. The super rich like to do a vulgar display of their wealth with the middle class being burdened more and more in the name of modi pet schemes. Modi uses the brainwashed bhakts for electoral returns but chooses to be seen with the likes of Priyanka chopra, there is no place for any jhumla,as that was only electioneering
Two new people in important ministries of finance and water looks like a big risk. People talk about land and labour reform but frankly no one can survive the political backlash from allowing factories to fire people freely or force some farmer to sell land. I think realistically we will just muddle along with minor changes around the edges. maybe some disinvestment but we would be lucky to get an average of 6.5- 7% gdp over the next five years.
As India becomes Hindu under the BJP, so does the rate of growth becomes Hindu, like in the 6os and 70s! The two are undoubtedly connected, though clearly not on a 1:1 basis.
Till now Modi has enjoyed the fruits of the work done by earlier governments. Now it is his turn.
I’m not optimistic as he himself doesn’t understand economics very well. Jaitley was a lawyer and the new FM too has little experience in this field.
So wait for the Hindu rate of growth to be reached soon.
For the shower to feel really cold, say growth is now below 4%, as per the methodology we grew up with. Jobs are being lost, not created. To pick one of three inductees the column mentions, the new HRD minister. He is an ideology faithful, in a world where Indian educational institutions barely figure in the top 500. How well the education system performs has a direct bearing on young Indians being prepared for the fewer jobs that will be on offer. Ideology driven restrictions on the cattle trade have harmed farmers – a stressed / distressed lot – and other employment intensive sectors. We need to have an honest conversation about what is good for the economy and India, give up some of our shibboleths. Else we face the prospect of the UP / Biharisation of India.
Apparently a knowledgeable comment but sorry to say the underlying tone is clearly Leftist+illeberal+pseudo-secular. If you had managed to keep your ideology out of it, your comment would have been much more useful. That’s the main problem with many of India’s “intellectuals”.
Typical from pseudo nationalist Aaa, you yourself have no solution to provide but will grudge the experts who actually can provide a solution. Such anti intellectualism is celebrated today and starts right at the top. Minions like you are only following the cue.

And pray, what is that? Such moth-worn cliches….
