This initiative plays a vital role in promoting economic stability, empowering communities, and fostering sustainable development across India's rural landscape.

The Need For Change in Economic distribution system

-

 Does today's economic system need to be changed as per the present scenarios or should remain unchanged?

According to the World Inequality Report 2024- economic inequality in India is currently at its highest since British rule. The richest 10% of the global population takes home 52% of the global income, whereas the poorest 50% gets only 8.5% of it, hampering our SDG 10 goal.



reasons and concerns"

  1. as a mixed economy, India is still facing challenges in job creation in the non-farming sector.
  2. although the service sector contributes 55% to GVA FY-2024 but lags behind in job CREATION.
  3. In agriculture research where ₹ 1 investment including Education pays off ₹ 13.85 still faces farmers' strikes due to a lack of policy implementations at groundwork.
  4. PLFS's latest report is 2024 - a significant proportion of working women in low-paying, hazardous, and informal jobs.

Solutions:
  1. A "Socialistic" economic approach is necessary, Policy implementation should be on farms not on paper. ex. monitoring crops and seeds availability as per the soil, water irrigation at the time, and easy access to loan availability without a burden of payoff.
  2. Progressive Taxation- TAX collection and Distribution should be demand-driven.
  3. skill-based education is the key to prosper rather than a mugging up old age education system.
  4. Social Safety Nets- Railways, Roads, and infrastructure should be proper to connect the marginalized sector in terms of affordability, accessibility, and approachability.
  5. International Labour Organisation Report- around 83% of youth are still unemployed in India which raises a question on government policy implementations.
way forward-

"jai jawan, jai kisan, jai vigyan" should be the approach on fields through inclusive growth in terms of security at borders and home(proper salary and allowances), land reforms(proper land monitoring with soil-friendly crops), more research and analysis budget allocation to create jobs, wealth, health and environmental stability sustainably.

Is the Sanctity of Parliamentary Debate, Which Lies at the Core of Democratic Decision-Making, Being Compromised?

-
From the historical view where the core of parliamentary debates was based on public welfare, the utilitarianism principle where every individual was very much aware of being responsible for his/her words towards the public, their actions and reactions were under the basic rule. The decorum of parliament was maintained and the politicians were public servants thinking of a collective decision where the core value was to take a step in the public welfare way. Thinking of that era when like-minded people were making decisions for a common vision that was devoted to a well-developed nation as a whole. But if we talk about today's debates they sound to be senseless.   Fighting with the elders, breaking public property, unethical slogans, and quotations to put-down the individual's public and private image is not at all the act of the responsible member of parliament. The core value is dying with the baseless debates where logical thinking and analytical norms are missing. There wa...

The quote by  Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, "India had parliamentary institutions when people of Europe were mere nomads,"  is a powerful testament to the ancient civilization's early advancements in governance and societal structures. It speaks volumes about the historical context of India's political systems, which were far more developed than often recognized in the common Eurocentric narrative of history. This essay will delve into the implications of Ambedkar's statement, exploring its historical accuracy, its significance in the context of Indian pride and identity, and its relevance in contemporary discussions about the origins and evolution of democratic institutions. Firstly, various historical records and scholarly research support the assertion that India had parliamentary institutions in ancient times. The 'sabha' and 'samiti' of the Vedic period, for instance, are indicative of consultative assemblies that played a role in governance. These bodie...
