Instead of repeating "India will be developed by 2047" - publish a roadmap. Let us be a part of your vision, not mere spectators. Let us believe in data, facts, and progress on the ground.
Now sugar has to be imported because all the sugarcane is consumed for Ethanol blending in fuel. Btw blending was done to reduce the import bill irony is that we have to import sugar now.
Penny wise pound foolish policies.
Biggest scam of last decade
Swachh Bharat Mission
Govt collected a dedicated cess in the name of cleanliness.
A decade later, look at our roads.
Garbage everywhere, broken footpaths, overflowing drains and dust all over the place.
ЁЯЪи HUGE! GovtтАЩs Chief Economic Advisor says India may need E10 AGAIN ЁЯдп
> CEA V. Anantha Nageswaran has called for examining E10 petrol alongside E20 for older vehicles.
He has warned against blindly pushing ethanol blending beyond 20%ЁЯОп
Another concern he flags: More maize DIVERTED to ethanol could mean less animal feed unless production rises.
Sugarcane is already feeling the shift: ~10% of annual output was diverted to ethanol this season.
The President has assented to the #VandeMataram Amendment, passed without discussion in Parliament, which requires the singing of the National Song in full at the start and ending of any official function, in addition to the National Anthem.
As one who greatly respects both, and can sing the first two stanzas of the former (but not the other four, which were never required till now) as well as the entire anthem, i would like to point to just one practical consideration our zealots appear to have overlooked: human nature.
"Jana Gana Mana" requires audiences to stand respectfully and focus their attention for a reasonable 52 seconds. The National Song in full takes 3 minutes and 10 seconds. Tamil Nadu has just decided that both will be preceded by the State Song in Tamil for another 2 minutes. Do we really expect audiences to stand still and respectfully for six minutes before and after every function, a total of 12 extra minutes? Can respect and patience be legislated?
I fear that the intent of the Bill, to promote greater respect for the National Song , will not be achieved, but its opposite may well be....
@BJP4India What about sugar prices are increasing since last few months due to this?
People are paying extra in petrol prices and paying extra in sugar prices too.
Stop fake promotion
Cost of UPI transactions: 2,000 crores
Just MP ladli behena cost: 23,882 crores
We build the economy,we pay the taxes and we carry the burden of using our own money through UPI.
1001th reason of why tax payers are jokers in this country.
The move to levy MDR on UPI transactions above Rs 2000 will lead to these costs being passed onto the consumer .
Someone has to pay the cost to keep 5 crore Merchants and 65 crore consumers connected via UPI.
Banks and Fintechs make huge cross sell revenues , selling other loan and financial products like insurance , mutual funds to this base .
UPI needs to be kept free .
$ 3.8 trillion will
move via UPI in India this year .
Just 4% transactions but 68% of value is above Rs 2000
MDRs will kill this momentum.
UPI brings formalization , financialisation and cross sell opportunities .
The government needs to put the consumer ahead and refuse MDR calls .
Everyday Train 12932 Ahm- Mumbai Double decker Train is running late by average 30 mnt. Today it running 20mnt late.
@IRCTCofficial
if you are not able to run train on time please change time, instead of wasting time people.

In other words, what Nirmala "Ji" is saying is that she will not bulldoze the UPI system.
She will burn it to the ground.
But the outcome will be the same: the dream of a cashless economy won't survive the Modi regime.
Thank you for the clarification, Madam Finance Minister. Your degree in "Entire Finance" continues to be an asset to the nation.
MDR charges on more than Rs.2000 UPI transanctions.
Finance Minister says that MDR fees is only for merchants, customers not required to pay.
She thinks we are stupid like her party followers.
Eventually costs will be passed on to the customers by the merchants.
Similarly GST is charged on merchants not consumers.
TDS is paid by Employers not Employees.
@nsitharaman, country is blessed to have a genius like you as Finance Minister.
