 KELKAR COMMITTEE REPORT ON MAHARASHTRA
Pursuing development: The perils of the beaten trackThe report of a high level committee led by Vijay Kelkar to promote balanced development in Maharashtra has several important recommendations.

 YOUTH & UNEMPLOYMENT
The false promise of a demographic dividendMuch is made out of the proportion of youth in India’s population and what it could mean for its economy and progress. However, statistics and trends in education and employment within this group do not paint a promising picture, points out Kannan Kasturi. |

An unedited transcript of his speech: |
 THE URBAN VISION
Are there smarter ways to run our cities?The ruling government has allocated 7,060 crores of rupees for smart cities, but do our realities allow for westernised ICT-driven smart cities? Darryl D’Monte dwells on what would really make our cities smart, based on deliberations at the second Urban Age conference. |
 ECONOMY & PRICES
Is lower inflation here to stay?Most measures of inflation over the last couple of months point to an encouraging downward movement in price indices; Shambhu Ghatak deconstructs these measures and quotes observations of the RBI to show why it may still be premature to take low inflation for granted. |
