Under the leadership of Modi, the cabinet approved the proposal of land amendment of railways to implement PM Gati Shakti Framework. With this decision 300 PM Gati Shakti Cargo Terminals will be developed in the next 5 years, which will increase the revenue of Railways and generate about 1.2 lakh employment opportunities.

According to the official numbers, Covid-19 has killed more than 6.5 million people and infected 611 million peo ple around the world. Those numbers are undercounts; the estimate at the Econo mist calculates that since the start of the pandemic, hu manity collectively experi enced between 15.8 and 26.2 million more deaths than it ordinarily would. The team at the Economist explains the difficulty in nailing down a more precise figure. As we approach the au tumn of 2022, Covid-19 is a nonentity in American daily life, with most Americans giving the virus little thought since the end of the Omicron wave. That’s not the case over in China, where “more than 70 Chinese cities have been placed under full or partial Covid lockdowns since late August, impacting more than 300 million people.” With daily life returning to nor mal in North America, Eu rope, and much of non-China Asia, very few people are still asking the question of what started the worst global pan demic since the Great Influ enza of 1918. We have collec tively moved on. A bit more than a year ago, the U.S. government issued its summary statement about its investigation, infuriatingly shrugging and declaring, “The [intelligence communi ty] remains divided on the most likely origin of COV ID-19. All agencies assess that two hypotheses are plausible: natural exposure to an infect ed animal and a laboratoryassociated incident.” This was akin to declaring that the coin could have landed heads up or tails up.

BUDDHIST DOMINATE AND NEW DELHI-RUN For centuries, Tibet has been influencing the culture and religious practices in Ladakh and Tibetan refugees have been finding refuge in the re gion. The first large wave of Tibetans arrived in India in 1959 following the Chinese invasion of Tibet. Now, there are more than 6,500 Tibetans living in Ladakh. The cul tural heritage of Ladakhis and Tibetans is similar, which is why Ladakh is often called “Little Tibet.”

IN-DEPTH WILL KEYNES?REHABILITATETRUSS he United Kingdom finally has a new prime minister, but will Liz Truss im prove the dismal out look for the British economy and political life? The conven tional answer is no. As Shake speare said, “when sorrows come, they come not single spies but in battalions.” That is cer tainly true of Britain today. The UK is cursed with the G7’s highest inflation, steepest decline in real wages, and biggest budget and trade deficits. Making matters worse, Britain’s battalion of sor rows also overwhelms its politics. Truss’s three predecessors were the worst prime ministers in mod ern British history. So says the British public: According to the latest polling, David Cameron, Theresa May, and Boris Johnson all score postwar records for doing “a bad job as PM,” with each suc cessive Tory leader rated worse than the previous one. This core Keynesian analysis is sometimes exaggerated in extreme versions of Modern Monetary Theory, which is sometimes parodied as a “Magic Money Tree.” Last month, I joined in, calling the notion that US policymakers will be able to reduce inflation without causing a severe recession a “fairy tale.”

The removal of special status for Jammu and Kashmir in 2019 led to Ladakh emerging as a separate territory. At first, this deepened the MuslimBuddhist divide. Following the decision, people in Kargil took to the streets to protest. Those in Leh, on the other hand, cel ebrated the move.

Karnataka is not important to the BJP just because it has a government there and it will be better if the government comes. What worries the BJP even more is that the BJP has won 25 out of 28 Lok Sabha seats in the state. The BJP has only 29 seats out of 120 in all the southern states, of which 25 are from Karnataka alone. So BJP cannot afford any loss here. That is why along with winning the assembly elections that are due in May next year, a strategy is being prepared to repeat the former success, in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections as well. It is being told that BJP’s Karnataka strategy is completely in the hands of BS Yediyurappa. He was recently made a member of the BJP’s parliamentary board and through him the message has been given to the ‘strong’ Lingayat community of the state that the party has not sidelined Yeddyurappa, but increased his stature. After that Prime Minister Modi went to Karnataka and gave a tremendous preference to Yeddyurappa. He held his hand and talked for a long time. Not only this, he made him sit on the stage next to the governor and allowed him to be the focus throughout the programme. It is being told that the election strategy and ticket distribution will be done according to Yeddyurappa. BJP knows that only Yediyurappa can do any miracle in Karnataka. Anyway, he himself has announced his retirement, so the party leadership is not worried about him and it is being said that both his sons will definitely get a good position.

New Delhi: Central bank digital currency (CBDC), to be launched this year, could become a tool for reducing time and cost for cross-border transactions, Reserve Bank Deputy Governor T Rabi Sankar said on Wednesday. “We have to understand that internationalisation of CBDC is crucial to addressing the payments issue that bodies like G-20 and Bank for International Settle ments (BIS) are dealing with now,” he said at India Ideas Summit. Observing that India has an excellent, cheap and fast domestic payments system, he said the cost of cross-border payment, however, is still high.There is a lot of scope for improvement in terms of both cost and speed, he noted. CBDC is probably the most efficient answer to this, he said, adding, for example, if India CBDC and the US CBDC systems can talk to each other, we don’t have to wait for settling transactions.

“...By 2047-2050 period, when India would be com pleting 100 years of Inde pendence, we will be at least a $30 trillion economy on a business as usual sce nario and possibly a $35-45 trillion economy if some of the aggressive plans that the government is putting together work well. That’s the kind of opportunity that I bring to the table,” Goyal said. Goyal said the government has spent the last few years laying the foundation on which the country can rapidly trans form, grow its economy, improve its systems, and engage in technology.
