Poits to Ponder for 15-May-2019:
Our Country is proud of its world class Economists. But if we analyse a little we find something weird in their views. Without casting aspersion on any, we can say these:
One of them
(1) Doled out Rs 1 Bn (100 Cr) to a private NGO / Private Trust in July-1991;
(2) Said Minorities must have first claim on resources in December 2006;
(3) Said, “We need to contain subsidies, Money doesn’t grow on trees” in Sep-2012;
(4) And then went on to support the so called “NYAY” scheme in Mar-2019.
Another criticises the current “MUDRA” scheme for serious flaws, but supports “NYAY”.
And yet the latest entrant to the field of eminence even had conceptualised the “NYAY” scheme himself.
Can we not have a group of eminent Economists helping the GoI with constructive and continuous participation, and not just criticism. Points to ponder! What you say?
