Modi government at four years: It has pushed through a range of structural reforms whose results will show
Keywords: Modi Government, Modi,
Tags: Current Focus, India,
Arvind Panagriya, Prof. of Economics at Columbia University, points out the key initiatives of the Modi government in its first four years which will show results in future years for development of the country.
He mentions the Swachh Bharat Mission and cites results that show rural households with toilets are now 84% up from 38%. By 2019 the whole country will be defecation zone free on the 100th anniversary of the birth of Mahatma Gandhi. The Dhan Jan Yojana DJY accounts opened for rural households are up to 316 million. Aadhar cards for identification are up from 650 million to 1.2 billion. The Aadhar and DJY work together to enable direct transfer of benefits to poor households, eliminating the leaks in benefits transfer and ghost accounts of the period since independence in 1947. Not mentioned by Panagriya is the Health Insurance scheme for lower income households that enable families to survive a sudden medical expense that could put them in dire straits.
These efforts work in a way to change India from the ground up from its villages and rural areas as envisioned by Mahatma Gandhi in the struggle for independence. The land acquisition law amendments were put on hold till farmers concerns could be better accomodated, an area of concern for industrial development cited in an editorial in the Hindu newspaper.
Fiscal consolidation and inflation targeting have resulted in an average inflation rate of 4.3% for the 4 years of the Modi government. Inflation was over 9% in the last 2 years of the previous Congress UPA government with GDP growth dropping to 5.9% for the last two years. Average GDP growth for four years for the Modi government is 7.3%, even after the changes to implement GST taxation for one national tax eliminating state barriers in interstate commerce and demonetization to fight corruption and black money. Rate of GDP growth should be higher after the gains from the initiatives and the new GST integration of the country are felt, with increase in investment and FDI, after infrastructure improvements and land acquisition arrangements are made.
Transportation infrastructure modernization initiative pushes ahead with the first bullet train in the pilot project for Ahmedabad- Mumbai set to start in 2022. This is a $17 billion project financed for $13 billion by the Japanese government at 0.1% loan for 50 years, moratorium on repayments for 20 years, using E5 Shinkansen series technology. Implementation of this project on a sound financial basis should lead to transformation of the Indian rail network, raising the level of technology implementation across the entire Indian rail system. Such an achievement would rival the first introduction of railways into India in the nineteenth century under the British.
A new bankruptcy law is intended to free up capital for investment by putting behind the large number of non performing loans in the Indian banking system. Changes made by the central bank RBI are designed to speed up this process so that loss making enterprises are absorbed, consolidated or shut down, a legacy from the earlier period.
Indian prime minister Modi and the opposition parties campaign in 2015 to prevent the passing of legislation on land acquistion for industry and infrastructure building
08/14/2015
The Congress party and other opposition parties have stalled the effort to pass legislation in the current session of the Indian parliament to make it easier to acquire land for industry and infrastructure building. With upcoming state elections in Bihar, and other regions heavily dependent on agriculture and the farmers sector, the ruling BJP party decided it would be best to wait till 2016 for making the changes.

India's new GST, Goods and Services Tax, replacing a patchwork of 15 state based taxes- expected to increase economic growth by 0.5%-2% a year
08/04/2016
The new GST tax is on the agenda since 2011, as it is a major hindrance for moving goods across India's state boundaries. Each state has its own tax policy and regulations- a big headache for businesses. The Modi government faces a challenge in setting the rate for GST at a level that does not spark inflation, helps job growth and manufacturing. It is a big win not just for the Modi government but for India, even though it took so long to pass the legislation.

02/28/2015
The $288 billion budget aims to increase infrastructure spending to achieve a growth rate of 7.4%. A 2% tax on the superrich and rigorous penalties of 10 years imprisonment for tax evasion by sending money overseas are efforts to improve tax revenues in a country where it is estimated only 35 million Indians pay taxes. The lower oil prices help reduce pressures from fiscal deficits, and the decision was taken to let the fiscal deficit increase to 3.9% in the interests of growth.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
