Second White Revolution -
Business Line
The launch of a Rs 17,000-crore National Dairy Plan (NDP) to enable India's milk production to meet a projected demand of 200 million tonnes (mt) by 2021-22, is a timely initiative. With output last year estimated at 125 mt, the target calls for raising our annual yield by 7.5 mt, as against the average 4 mt achieved over the last 10 years. That makes it an extremely ambitious considering the growing pressure on fodder and feed resources, besides rising opportunity cost of rural labour: Grazing, feeding, cleaning and milking buffaloes daily is not an enticing proposition for today's workforce, including those from agricultural families.

Verbatim |
 The UPA 2 government was conceived in corruption – and never really recovered from that taint. Right from the day the election results came in, the back-channel negotiations began for the reappointment of A Raja as Telecom Minister to advance the interests of certain telecom majors (in return for illegal gratification). It was an enterprise which set the stage for India’s biggest corruption scandal and virtually set the political tone for the rest of the four years. As subsequent exposes have established, Manmohan Singh and other key Ministers knew full well that mischief was afoot, but pointedly looked the other way. That was the beginning of the slide, and the UPA government in general – and Manmohan Singh in particular – was mortally wounded from that episode. But rather than press ahead with remedial action, the government slid further into the cesspool of corruption.

Split with Nitish will only boost BJP in Bihar -
K Balakrishnan, LensOnNews
WITH THE BJP seemingly decided on projecting Narendra Modi as its PM candidate and its close ally Nitish Kumar of JD(U) equally firm in his opposition to the idea, a split in the NDA alliance looks inevitable; most observers think it’s not a question of if, but when. |
