    Union Budget 2011-12: What does it implyfor inclusive growth?

    Dr. K. K. Tripathy

    The major components of the 2011-12 Budget on agriculture include bringing green revoluon to eastern

    India, development of 60,000 pulse villages in the rain-fed areas, promoon of oil palm plantaons,

    diversicaon of crops by promong fruit and vegetable culvaon, accelerated fodder development and

    expansion of agriculture credit. While these announcements are laudable, the implementaon of these

    budget iniaves is a real challenge.

    billion cizensa number that isgrowing requires enhanced agricultural producon

    and producvity in the form of a Second Green

    Revoluon. Further, special aenon is required

    for achieving higher producon and producvity

    levels in pulses, oilseeds, fruits, and vegetables,

    which had remained untouched in the First Green

    Revoluon but are essenal for nutrional security.

    In this regard, achieving high producon of poultry,

    meat and sheries is also essenal. The relavely

    weak supply responses to price hikes in agricultural

    commodies, especially food arcles, in the recent

    past brings back into focus the central queson of

    ecient supply chain management and need for

    sustained levels of growth in agriculture and allied

    sectors. The choices before the naon is clearto

    invest more in agriculture and allied sectors with

    the right strategies, policies, and intervenons. Thisis also a necessary condion for inclusive growth

    and for ensuring that the benets of growth reach

    a larger number of people.

    ICT & Sustainable Development-Bridging theGender Divide

    Equal right for women and men is a fundamental human right. Ending gender discrimination by 2015

    is one of the Millennium Development Goals. There is still much work to be done to end discrimination

    against women and girls in education, at work and in promoting health and safetyi.

    FROM THE GROUND

    Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme: Boon or bane

    to Indian Agriculture?

    Farmers with large farm holdings who invariably depend on farm labourers would be inversely

    affected by this NREGS Scheme. When the daily wages are more in NREGS, quite naturally the

    labourers preference would be to work through it. It would not be economical for the farmer to

    provide higher wages to the labour in order to retain the labour in his field. Or in the other sense the

    food prices has to be increased so that the farmer can hire labour for higher wages. The implementing

    agency of NREGS failed to look in to these matters. Tea gardens in Tripura are facing a shortage of

    labour with the expansion of National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) scheme in all four

    major tea producing districts, thus absorbing about 20-22 per cent tea workers .

    . Therefore it needs

    to be emphasized here that henceforth MSP

    fixation for various crops and commodities must

    be done in accordance with existing principles

    and practices and also after taking into due

    consideration of the fact that NREGA can also

    impact farm gate level prices from now on.

    NREGA- varying wage rates affectinginter state agricultural trade

    We all know that there has been a tremendous

    importance being laid on the inter state trade in

    agricultural commodities nowadays. One of the

    prime aspects of the Rainbow Revolution is also

    the Dismantling of Restrictions on Movement

    of Agricultural Commodities throughout thecountry , however in the current scenario where

    we find that minimum wages being revised from

    time to time by various states to suit their local

    economy, and as the nreg a u

    u nrega. However this has invariably led to

    a situation where some states are advantageous

    with respect to the cost of cultivation of various

    Agricultural Commodities as they have to dole out

    more money for hiring labourers as compared to

    their counterparts in other states and hence are

    bound to lose out on this front immensely to the

    cultivators of the same crop from other areas.

    JATROPHA CURCAS L - THE WONDER PLANTDr Manas Ranjan Senapa

    Fossil Fuels have been the prime source of energy of power for domesc, transportaon andindustrial sector for more than a century. The rapidly increasing consumpon and consequent depleon

    of these reserves clearly show that the end of the fossil fuel era is not very far. For developing countries

    like India, rising world prices of crude oil and petroleum is a serious cause for concern. We import

    almost 70% of our requirement of crude oil and in future it is likely to increase to 85%. This is high

    me to ponder over and to nd an alternave to the fossil fuel. The green fuel Bio diesel is one such

    alternave to partly replace the petroleum crude and be the fuel of the future Biodiesel buses are in

    use in Europe and in the mid western United States. In India successful test run drives have been done

    by using biodiesel produced from Jatropha Curcas (Ratanjyot in Hindi). Shatabdi train was run from

    Delhi to Amritsar using B5 (5% biodiesel) blend and no problem was observed during the run.
