IN LAST FEW DAYS I WAS OUT IN CITY FOR SOME WORK AND USED AUTO RICKSHAW AS A MEAN OF TRANSPORTATION. I WAS TOLD BY DRIVERS THAT SHEILA DIXIT HAS GONE MAD. SHE WANTS TO GET RID OF AUTOS BEFORE COMMONWEALTH GAMES. THERE ARE SUCH A BIG NUMBER OF AUTORICKSHAWWALA'S AND RELATED MECHANICS...AND SUPPORTING SYSTEM...WHAT WILL THEY DO, WHERE WILL THEY GO...ONE WAS ASKING ME AIN'T U FROM DELHI?? ...ANOTHER WAS SAYING, PRICE RISE IS KILLING US!!
SHEILAJI! ARE YOU LISTENING!!...WHATEVER DECISION YOU MAY TAKE...MUST THINK ABOUT THESE PEOPLE's ALTERNATIVE WORK OPPORTUNITIES.
IT REMINDS ME OF MY VISIT TO HARDAYAL LIBRARY IN M.V.II, WHERE ALL GOVT. EMPLOYEES SEEKING MY HELP TO STOP GETTING TERMINATED...OR ATLEAST THEY NEEDED THEIR DUES TO GET CLEARED...AS RECESSION AND FEW OTHER FACTORS MADE DELHI GOVERENMENT TAKE THIS DECISION. I HAD WRITTEN ABOUT IT EARLIER....THEY WERE DOING SOME AGITATION AND GOT SOME RESULT AS WELL.
MUCH DISCUSSED PRICE RISE PROBLEM IS NOW TAKING ITS TOLL ON EVEN UPPER MIDDLE CLASS AND EFFECTING THEIR HOME BUDGET. COMPARETIVE STUDIES OF LAST 5 YEARS PRICE RISE RANGE IS AS BELOW...
2004/2010...WHEAT...9RS/KILO....NOW 18RS/KILO
RICE...10RS/KILO...NOW40RS/KILO
BREAD...8RS/PER BREAD....NOW 22RS
SUGAR....14RS/KILO.....NOW 44RS
TEA.....80RS/KILO....NOW 250RS/KILO
MOONG DAL...24/KILO....NOW 80 RS/KILO
ARHAAR DAL...26RS/KILO....NOW 90RS/KILO
RAJMA...28RS/KILO...NOW 65RS/KILO
SARSON KA TEIL 30RS/PER LITRE.....NOW 80-100RS/PER LITRE
MILK PER LITRE..14RS/ ....NOW 26RS PER LITRE
PETROL PER LITRE...24RS/.....47.39RS
DIESEL PER LITRE 22.50....NOW 35.50
CEMENT (PER BORI)..125RS...NOW 280RS
COLGATE PASTE 16RS ...NOW 28RS..
ONION ...10RS....NOW 32RS.
COMMON MAN IS REALLY EFFECTED BY PRICE RISE AND INFLATION....IT INCREASED MAL- NUTRITION AMONGST PEOPLE AS EVEN THEIR SALARY GOT CUT-OFF/DEDUCTED....IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM TO HAVE 2 TIMES MEAL.
ITS SILLY THAT GOVERENMENT IS SELLING OFF AANAAJ IN CHEAPER RATE AND IMPORTING IT ON MUCH HIGHER RATE. ITS WRONG DECISION. 48LAKH TON SUGAR WERE EXPORTED OF 12RS PER KG RATE, WHERE AS IT WERE IMPORTED IN THE RATE OF 30 RS PER KG....BECOZ OF THIS DECISION...FARMERS ARE COMMITTING SUICIDES...AND ALL THE WRONG KIND OF PEOPLE ARE THRIEVING...MUNAFAKHOR/JAMAKHOR/SATTEBAAZ/...FARMERS ARE NOT GETTING EXPECTED SUBSIDIES.
PDS COLLAPSED....FARMERS ARE SPINAL CORD OF INDIAN STRUCTURE...THEY NEED TO BE PROTECTED....AND POLITICIANS SHOULD RISE UP ABOVE POLITICS IN THIS ISSUE.
AS I FEEL INDIA WILL NEVER BECOME A MODERN ECONOMY UNLESS IT MODERNISES ITS AGRICULTURE. THE REASON IS SIMPLE....DEMAND FOR FOOD IS OUTPACING PRODUCTION AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO IMPROVE PRODUCTIVITY. NEITHER PDS IS REFORMED OR IMPROVED BY BETTER CHAIN MANAGEMENT AT THE RETAIL LEVEL.NEITHER DYING OF BAD CROPS....THERE IS NOTHING MUCH DONE TO CREATE EMPLOYMENT FOR THESE PEOPLE OUTSIDE OR RELATED OR AFFLIATED TO WORK RELATED TO AGRICULTURE....SO THAT THE BIG POPULATION(70%) BELONG TO THIS COMMUNITY CAN RECOVER FROM SEVERE UNEMPLOYMENT AND POVERTY.....I HAVE WRITTEN THESE POINTS EARLIER IN THIS BLOG TIME TO TIME.
