Most farmers stay in agriculture because they have no other option. Most children of farmers are migrating to cities; but there are not enough jobs to absorb them. It is not a sin to be born in a village. We need an integrated development model linking agri with towns & industry. https://t.co/OxsUQazjmT
@JP_LOKSATTA Sir I do agree with. Constitution should be reframed with structural prospect regarding this or else its not possible where political parties are run by keeping religious agendas ahead.
I have always held that govt should have no role in managing religious institutions. We must find a practical mechanism to hand over all temples to devotees and spiritual organisations, and keep govt out of it. https://t.co/YWvGvD4H1K
Farmers need policies that give profit; productivity will follow. Agri share of national income (now 15%) is falling, but still 50% live on agri. Govt failure in edu & health is forcing ppl to spend more out of pocket, impoverishing them. We need strategy to combat rural crisis. https://t.co/cwMIC5BEP6
Congratulations to govts of AP & TS on joining national pool through NEET exam for medical education. All of India must be regarded as one pool for all higher education. We need to improve quality of education at all levels & promote excellence; that's the key to prosperity.
In the past 3 years, agri exports decreased by $10B/yr & imports increased by $10B/yr! Net loss to farmers- $20B=₹130,000cr/yr! We r world's largest importer of pulses & edible oil. Impose tariffs & pass on to farmers as bonus for production. https://t.co/IVjhFGca6v
Despite dumb luck, economy is down & jobs r scarce. Nothing is done abt service guarantees, edu, health, rule of law, local gov&agri sector. https://t.co/GPQnvoLaHC
True. Even by emerging economies standards, our public health spend and its share in total health spend are among the lowest in the world. https://t.co/PL1Lsbl08J
