Cockroach Janta Party withdraws its nationwide agitation with immediate effect
All demands of the Cockroach Janta Party have been accepted by the government:
1. Maximum possible compensation for families of NEET paper leak-related suicides
2. All FIRs by Central govt and NDA-ruled states will be withdrawn, and no action will be taken against anyone involved in these protests in the future.
3. CJP’s 5-point exam reform charter will be considered by the govt and the CJP will meet with the govt to discuss these reforms further.
1/5: The reforms of 1991 are seen by many as having been India’s economic launch pad. Thirty-five years later, it is clear that the dismantling of industrial and trade controls served to accelerate India’s rate of economic growth as well as the rate of its poverty reduction.
2/5: But the country once again finds itself at a cusp, confronted by new challenges of economic security, technological adequacy and an inclusive pattern of growth that have no easy answers in a less than hospitable global climate.
3/5: Three-quarters of all countries rank above India on per capita income. India’s figure is less than a quarter of the world average.
4/5: Much more would have been achieved if the country had followed through with the core logic of the 1991 reforms: to leave to the private sector and markets what they can deliver, open up to the world, and focus government efforts on what governments alone can deliver.
5/5: Read #ThePrintOpinion by TN Ninan

Thank you to @Psm_cuts, CUTS Secretary General, for his contribution to driving deeper partnerships between Australia and India, and to CUTS Executive Director, Bipul Chattopadhyay, for moderating the discussion.
Congratulations to the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences on their successful event to celebrate and reflect on the University of Melbourne’s Health Partnerships in India this week at Melbourne Global Centre – Delhi.
