Kumar, however, ruled out the possibility of a recession as after June, he does expect some sectors such as hospitality, transport, entertainment and FMCG to start functioning.
Over 30 doctors & scientists are part of Modi’s team, divided into 2 groups. Niti Aayog member V.K. Paul and PSA to PM K. VijayRaghavan are leading them.
In meeting chaired by Niti Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant, govt asks top Indian pharma firms to amp up production of these 38 raw materials, technically called APIs.
WhatsApp privacy policy case is among a string of matters involving practices like restrictive platform rules, pricing & billing policies, reflecting India’s tight scrutiny of market dominance.
Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
Why we are all worrying about Economy at this time of Crisis , when our life is at stake ?? Every Nation will suffer the same . Cant we people be little sensible enough to realise that if we dont survive then what’s the point of thinking about Economy?? Economy doesn’t only depends on Government but also on the Citizens as well . How Hard u are working matters the most .
And the UPA Govt given so much of loose in the Loan Regulations that many of the payees didn’t paid their debts and they were all ignored . It’s a result of the past . Not of the present or NRC , CAA or etc.
Let’s Stand United by keeping aside our Ideologies .
After all We are all Hindus (People of Hindustan).
We are all in a mess… Our Government thinks only after acting…. be it DEMONETISATION.. or GST… or CAA … or NRC…what else can we expect… from these Gentlemen…
This Thug Chokidar chor hai thinks that no
body in universe is intelligent then him in respect of cheating people & spreading Jumlas.He does not considers any famous economist of HARWARD as he him self is hard worker in respect of to fool people he him self can manage NITI AYOG without the help of any award wining Economics.Jai ho Thug Chokidar chor hai.
It was the responsibility of Niti Aayog to stop show-off projects like Statue of Unity but they failed to do that. I was surprised to see that senior members knew more about Ramayam and less about development economics.
We have a way ng in Malayalam which translates as “Only if there is a wall there can be a paint”
GDP and growth Gurus always take for granted that human life will always exist. Today that theory has been punctured. I always wondered that modern present day human consumes so much in terms of energy, food, natural resources, pollutes a ton in air, in sky, water and soil, yet never in peace.
Life existed on earth for lakhs of years. The average human would live for 50 yrs approx. He would eat what was available and his actions had no impact on earth and he died.
Only in the past 150-200 yrs post industrial revolution has man ravaged the earth from drilling for oil, blasting for ore, littering the sea with oil and thrash, blackening with sulphur the air around, wiped off species and bio diversity.
This 21 days are for earth. Not fully, but at least in some part.
Too many of us on the planet consuming ever more. We cannot sustain the earth with this.
Think about it as there are human generations waiting to come. We should pass on to the next in the shape and form we recieved it in or may be better, never worse.
GDP ain’t a measure of human wellness, please find an alternate composite mix that includes how greeen is your neighborhood, how clean are our water bodies and air we breathe, that includes species and bio diversity, that includes the immune system of man, that includes lack of human conflict both inter and intra.
GDP is a western concept which has built in wastage, let’s create a new measure. And in this new measure perhaps there would be surprise entrants. Perhaps they know the secret of harmonious living.
We have only borrowed the time and facilities of earth from next generation. We are dutybound to return it in its purest form.
GDP can wait. Let human and earth regain and rebound.
You are right ; botched up functioning is because of Modi. We have seen that time and again. He botched up 114 Rafale procurement, then demonetisation, then GST
Narendra Modi quickly disbanded the PLANNING COMMISSION soon after he came to power, as if he had some great vision and blue print for the country’s development. He had none. His much hyped brain child the NITI AYOG has almost proved still-born. This gentleman Rajiv Kumar and his colleague / predecessor one Mr Kant didn’t have the foggiest idea of what to do, nor did the much powerful PMO or the boss of PMO, the PM himself. They only knew how to celebrate Diwali the night the GST was launched by magnificently illuminating the Parliament building, only because Nehru had illuminated that building in that fashion the night India had won independence. Modi was at par with Nehru, the world had to know. Now this coronavirus thing is a god-sent excuse for all of them to hide behind. Hasn’t GST done what this virus might do? Mr Rajiv Kumar says that because of it, the growth will be zero or negative; wasn’t it headed precisely in that direction even before this virus emerged? That is a moot question.
To the point Sanjiv. Who will explain this to the people who are misguided to the tune that Modi is Avatar of Vishnu. Actually this guy is simple bad luck for India in every sphere.
Is human life more important than GDP? If you think yes then I have nothing to say you . Most countries GDP will be zero or negative this quarter .
Sh Kumar has rightly analyzed the situation in our country he is a right thinking person.

Country locked down since 25th of March 2020.. Only 7 days lockdown during 1st quarter brings gdp growth to that extent. ?
What else can we expect from a government that is irresponsible…

Comment par excellence.
I really didn’t expect Print to be twisting headline. It’s clearly not what he said, and the headline has been handpicked to grab eye balls.
Lets avoid this, Sanya.
current extra ordinary situation of pandemic may case global GDP to zero.. It will affect India as well..
