A leader like that is a cause for optimism and inspiration.” u may enjoy this: https://t.co/EssVqA11ih
Dr. @APanagariya is an exception among Indian economists based abroad. Unlike this group, who primarily cater to their Western audience by being overly critical of India, Dr. @APanagariya courageously speaks the truth. This article is esp worth reading & disseminating widely.
Recommend this entire thread to all. Do see the thread that follows this tweet as well as the one preceding it. @RMantri who rarely misses what the leading lights from around the world say calls out the sins of so many luminaries from my profession.
In case you have not seen it. This is the paper on bank privatization that has been much in news. There is also a link to the video of our presentation in the tweet below.
India scripts history. At a time when 1.3 billion Indians are marking Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, a daughter of India hailing from a tribal community born in a remote part of eastern India has been elected our President!
Congratulations to Smt. Droupadi Murmu Ji on this feat.
For the record, I supported Demonetization when I was NOT YET CEA. I've always formed my views using empirical evidence even if it meant standing alone based on my courage of conviction. So, to help evidence-based assessments, putting out a #Thread on #EvidenceOnDemon 1/12
Honored to be selected for the prestigious award. Thanks to my faculty and friends who considered me worthy. Thanks to Govt of India for the opportunity to serve. More than recognition of one's services, the award serves as a motivation to do more. @APanagariya@AshwiniVaishnaw
Arvind Panagariya @APanagariya will join a panel discussion at the annual Arun Jaitley Memorial Lecture, sponsored by India's government on July 8 in New Delhi. This year's theme is "Growth through Inclusivity, Inclusivity through Growth." @HindustanTimes https://t.co/BJuJzaqlvu
Same experience almost one month back Dr. @APanagariya . Extremely courteous staff. Even to some passengers throwing tantrum. Aircraft itself and food need improvement, though. And punctuality: before time.
Took Air India from New York to Delhi. What a change—extremely friendly and courteous cabin staff. The flight even arrived an hour early. They do need newer aircraft but understandably that will take time. A big privatization success story in the making.
With a heavy heart, IRTSOA mourns tragic demise of Sri Yadavendra Singh Bhati, IRTS'18 who met an accident while on duty organising work at Amlai station in Madhya Pradesh.
IRTS fraternity expresses deepest condolences to his wife and family in this time of grief.

The Rand Corporation - once an organization with a reputation for analytical rigor - is now putting out hot takes of such ignorance and hypocrisy that they’re being promoted by Chinese propaganda.
Quite the come down.
Summer vacation in schools colleges was a British India. In India traditionally rainy season is one when outdoor activities were given a pause( weddings, touring of countryside by monks). Synchs with sowing season too. #RandomThoughts
