The “ Solutions “ listed in the Column are unworthy of a former CEA and RBI Governor. They could have been made by an academic, not someone who has had a lofty insider’s view. 2. Does Dr Rajan honestly believe the government – any government – will implement the airy – fairy recommendations of the P J Nayak Committee, culminating in an “ independent “ Board selecting the CEO. Banks not implementing the government’s policy priorities, MUDRA, farm loan waivers, no more loans in the tens of thousands of crores to selected business houses. 3.
