Rising exports, the overall recovery trend across all sectors of the economy and the fiscal space for spending more on infrastructure can make the economy run faster. This is the second straight year the entire world has been passing through a pandemic. India’s position has been better than many large economies. With considerable difficulties and with timely policy support, the government could stabilize the economy. Though growth in the current financial year at an impressive rate may be because of the low base after the contraction last year, the overall performance has given fresh hope and sigh of relief to many industries. The Indian economy has reached the pre-pandemic level, the Economic Survey 2021-22 tabled in the Parliament points out. The advance estimates suggest t...

Education with poor vision

Human practice and human nature are diametrically opposite to each other. After building something very seriously with hard work and passion, the same is dismantled or abandoned sooner or later. The change in the human mind makes everything new today an old one tomorrow. We say every material becomes old. It is not the material that becomes old but our state of mind that runs out of time. Look at our education system. Most of us learn too many things by spending years after years in classrooms. Nevertheless, most of what we have learned could not help us. It was after many decades of scholarly thinking that an education system was developed. If there is a western influence in our syllabus, we become falsely prouder. But it was the western dictations of what we must study tha...

Flu questions the prudence of the jab

Herd immunity through the latest flu is keeping the pandemic at bay. Still, it is unclear whether it is artificial or natural. Jabbed and un-jabbed are equal to the infection of flu. Still, the unvaccinated are second-grade citizens. Recently ICMR changed the interstate testing policy. Though it is not yet clear, I take it that there is no need for the RT PCR test if one is asymptomatic. By the same equation, recently a group of 32 doctors from India, US and Canada wrote a letter addressing Central and State governments, the Indian Medical Association and doctors. In the letter, they mentioned: “While there continues to be much uncertainty amidst the outbreak of this novel disease, there is now substantive high-quality scientific literature that provides unequivocal guidance on the cl...
