PORT REDEVELOPMENT
Mumbai in the dock
Mumbai in the dock
The redevelopment of port land in Mumbai, dominated by the grandiose proposals of Nitin Gadkari, now rests primarily on the wishes of the Mumbai Port Trust, while it ignores the real needs of the city at large. Darryl D’Monte exposes the contradictions.
 PDS ALTERNATIVES
If you want food security, why not have food coupons?The erstwhile UPA government’s Food Security Act, now set to be implemented by the present government, could mean unendurable strain for the country’s public distribution framework. P V Rajeev spells out better alternatives to explore. |
 BUDGETING FOR AGRICULTURE
How about smart villages, Mr Modi?For over two decades now, agriculture has suffered overall neglect as successive governments, led by World-Bank prescribed growth models, have issued disproportionate doles to industry. While the present allocations do not spell much hope, Devinder Sharma suggests what the Modi government may still do to reverse the trend. |
 UNION BUDGET 2014
No big bang in Jaitley’s budgetKey highlights and provisions of Arun Jaitley’s maiden budget, presented in Parliament on 10 July: |
 OP-ED: UNION BUDGET PREVIEW
What we should score Arun Jaitley onAs the country eagerly awaits the new government’s maiden budget, Shankar Jaganathan evokes the realities of the Indian economy to provide a reference framework within which to judge the Jaitley budget. |
 THE PATH TO DEVELOPMENT
Why UPA’s folly could be Modi’s tooWith Narendra Modi at the helm, the push towards market-driven development looks likely to be continued, leading to an eventual defeat of real expectations from the voter, says Pradeep Baisakh as he analyses the causes behind the UPA debacle. |
 DEVELOPMENT
Should Modi now steer India towards Gujarat?Throughout the campaign of Narendra Modi, the Gujarat development model had been widely credited with the potential to change India’s future. As the new government completes a month in power, Ramesh Menon stresses the need to seriously question if it is really one that should be replicated in every Indian state. |
 INTERNAL MIGRANTS
Could Aadhaar be the game changer for footloose labour? Several recent studies bring out the abysmal deprivation from entitlements among India’s vast internal migrant population. Shambhu Ghatak throws light on the problems faced by migrants and explores if the UID can indeed live up to its promise of making mobility a smoother process. |
 NGOS UNDER FIRE
Why the IB report is undemocraticThe recent ‘secret’ report from the Intelligence Bureau accusing select NGOs of scuttling Indian development is not only an unjust indictment of these organisations, but also an insult to the intelligence and voice of the common man. Sakuntala Narasimhan elaborates. |
 METRO FARES
Will passengers have to bear the burden of Mumbai Metro?Even before the first line of the much-anticipated Mumbai Metro becomes functional, a number of issues have cropped up, most notably one over the pricing of tickets. Darryl D’Monte tracks the arguments, with comparisons to metro rail elsewhere. |
AGRICULTURE REFORMS
Can farmers look ahead to “acche din” as well?Narendra Modi’s attention to the woes and plight of farmers during election campaigning has raised a lot of hope for improvement among members of the beleaguered community, but can he deliver? Devinder Sharma presents an 11-point prescription for turning the agricultural sector around. |
 BOOKS
The economics of a strong democracyHolding trust brought forth by equality of individuals as a critical foundation for a strong democracy, Shankar Jaganathan discusses the postulates of two recent academic publications that add to the important discourse on the issue of inequality. |
 GLOBAL TRADE
Will The NYT bat against Washington apples in India?A recent editorial in The New York Times rightly recognises the flaws of a growth model driven by lower trade barriers. But Devinder Sharma wonders if the American daily will take a stand and extend its arguments to champion the cause of all nations, including India. |
