GDP figures should alarm everyone, Centre needs to come out of complacency, warns Raghuram Rajan

https://www.thehindu.com/business/Economy/gdp-numbers-should-alarm-us-all-says-raghuram-rajan/article32540742.ece?homepage=true

23.9% contraction in GDP growth numbers for first quarter of FY 2020-21 “should alarm us all” and government and its bureaucrats need to be “frightened out of their complacency” and into meaningful activity, former Reserve Bank of India Governor Raghuram Rajan said in a LinkedIn post.With discretionary spending expected to stay low until the virus is contained, government-provided relief becomes all the more important, Rajan said, adding that govt’s reluctance to do more today to conserve resources for a possible future stimulus is a “self-defeating” strategy.“Without relief measures, the growth potential of the economy will be seriously damaged,” he said.Mr. Rajan said that the 23.9% contraction in India, which will probably be worse when estimates of the damage in the informal sector come out, compares with a drop of 12.4% in Italy and 9.5% in US— 2 of the most COVID-19-affected advanced countries.“Yet India is even worse off than these comparisons suggest. The pandemic is still raging in India, so discretionary spending, especially on high-contact services like restaurants, and the associated employment, will stay low until the virus is contained,” he said.

 

100 days and GDP shrink: Government works on a fresh stimulus

https://indianexpress.com/article/business/economy/india-gdp-economy-shrink-coronavirus-impact-economy-govt-stimulus-modi-govt-6585793/

After over 100 days since Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced an economic package, 6 weeks after a series of meetings at the highest level underlined the need for a stimulus and official estimates indicating the worst-ever first quarter GDP contraction of 23.9 per cent, the government has finally identified the “non-salaried middle class and small businesses” as the target audience for a second round of stimulus.In mid-May, Sitharaman had announced five tranches of the AtmaNirbhar package, adding up to an economic package of Rs 20 lakh crore. Much of it was liquidity support, with extra fiscal outgo by the Central government just a little over 1 per cent of GDP. While April-June GDP was expected to shrink, there are clear signals the second quarter, too, will contract, with July and August not showing any promise of big recovery.With a more clearer picture now available, the government seems to have zeroed in on who needs financial support the most but is still debating its timing and mode of delivery. “This round of fiscal stimulus will be more for the group which is not completely poor and not rich. This in-between, non-salaried middle class, it is the most affected. The timing of the rollout is crucial in getting the maximum benefit,” a senior government official said.

Unplanned localised lockdowns did little to check spread of Covid, led to increased economic uncertainty

https://indianexpress.com/article/india/coronavirus-india-news-live-updates-covid-19-cases-deaths-vaccine-unlock-metro-services-lockdown-latest-news-6586000/

Use of haphazard localised lockdowns by states in July and August, which badly impacted economic activity, has had little effect on tempering Covid case count in these locations. State-wise data for states which imposed localised lockdowns during July 10-August 3 shows that the rise in new cases on a 7-day moving average basis, before and after the lockdown, ranged between 37-578 per cent in the seven regions which imposed localised lockdown during that period.These localised lockdowns end up disrupting the supply chains and increase the level of uncertainty in the system, impacting the decisions by entrepreneurs to re-hire workers or scale up operations. West Bengal, UP, Punjab and Haryana announced lockdowns, despite Ministry of Home Affairs’ (MHA) directives to desist from imposition of these lockdowns and seek its clearance.

https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/national-education-policy-nep-pm-narendra-modi-says-government-intervention-influence-should-be-minimal-2291495?pfrom=home-topscroll

"Education policy and education system are important means of fulfilling the aspirations of the country. Centre, state government, local bodies, all are attached to the responsibility of education system. But it is also true that the government, its interference in education policy, its impact, should be minimal. As foreign policy, defence policy are of the country, not government, so is education policy. It belongs to everyone," PM Modi said, urging the people to take the "collective responsibility" to implement the policy in "Letter and Spirit". In the new education policy (NEP), first since 1986, the pressure on students for taking specific streams have been removed, he said. NEP, PM Modi said, focuses on "learning instead of studying" and is based on "critical thinking rather than curriculum" with a special focus on "passion, practicality, and performance".

 

NEP-2020 is silent on minorities’ educational issues: Webinar

https://indiatomorrow.net/2020/09/06/national-education-policy-2020-is-silent-on-minorities-educational-issues-webinar/

New Delhi:Various participants at a webinar on the “Impact of NEP-2020 on Minority Educational Institutions” organized by Federation of Muslim Educational Institutions-India (FMEII) on Sunday expressed concern over the status of minority educational institutions under Article 30 of the Constitution as the final draft of the New Education Police-2020 is silent on this issue as also on ‘madrasas’ (Muslim religious seminaries) and reservation in admission to educational institutions, a policy that also benefitted a large section of minority communities besides members of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled tribes.FMEII’s vice president Mr Nusrat Ali said that while the new policy talked of creating a central authority for education in the country, it maintained total silence on Article 30 of the Constitution that allowed minorities to establish and manage educational institutions that not only helped in providing education but promotion of their own language and culture. Drawing attention towards merging of smaller schools under NEP2020, he said that it did not make clear as to what would happen to minority schools as large number of schools run by minorities, particularly Muslims, were small. He demanded that the authorities should have made all these things clear, instead of keeping them vague.
