ECONOMY INDIA, October, 2022

We have come into the era of Amrit Kaal, the nation is celebrating a yearlong platinum jubilee celebration of India's independence. This period witnessed us with this news also that India achieved the rank of the fifth largest economy in the world by surpassing the economic value of the UK's economy. We are now planning to make ourselves the five trillion Dollar economy by the end of the year 2024. However, when we think about the plight of around 135 crore citizenry of the country we all know all these points are not able to provide us real happiness. When we go deep into the whole society, system, and vast structure of our all public institutions and governing bodies, we become pensive and filled with the number of challenges that are required to be addressed massively. We just suffered from the pandemic of covid-19 which almost ruined our economy, now we are happily on the path of economic revival as the recent quarterly figure of the Indian economy has raised substantial hope for the future. Talking about the Modi government, we all have kept repeating the blunders committed by this government in terms of demonetization, ill-prepared implementation of GST, and all of the sudden lockdowns in the name of Covid-19 disease.            However, this government brought a number of socio-economic upliftment schemes with a new idea and innovative approach. But the irony is that those schemes which gave immense popularity to the Modi government, now they have started to backfire because of a non-supportive environment created by the government. For example this govt. did a tremendous job by providing 8 crore rural women with the LPG connection, but the cost of LPG cylinders has gone high by three times since then and people are not able to afford this price therefore the majority of ujjawala holders have left using their gas stove. Second, under the Rashtriya Swachhta Abhiyan crores of toilets were constructed in the rural area to make them defecation free. But that campaign has become dull now; if you go to the rural area, you will find still women going to the roadside and farmland in the evening time for this purpose. There are so many areas in the country that need to be reshuffled, restructured, and resurrected. Our system needs no. of changes, our society needs to be more vigilant and public administration needs to be more public-oriented, our polity needs to be filled with purity and morality. On the eve of Amrit Kal, the country needs to take such resolutions and ameliorate all evils and devils from all walks of life.
