Indian Economy Has Shown Mixed Results In Last Eight Years Of Narendra Modi
It is not only politics that is increasingly getting polarized but also views on the Indianeconomy with economists divided on whether the Prime Minister Narendra Modi has takenthe country forward during the last 8 years of his rule or not. India has come a long way ineconomic development since independence 75 years ago but it has still to cover some longdistance before it became middle income economy or an advanced economy. Usuallyeconomists in the past were critical of the government so that more reforms and correctiveswere carried out with gusto to enable the economy bounce back. For a developing oremerging economy, it has always been a case of glass half full or empty and any criticalanalysis only facilitated in improving the growth process and correctives in the continuingreform process.But lately the trend is somewhat disturbing. Critical analysis is not being done just on thebasis of economic parameters but on the basis of which side of the fence the economistbelonged to politically. There is a tendency to discount all the good work done to theeconomy by previous governments particularly congress led governments and anexaggeration of the achievements of the Modi Government. India’s first Prime MinisterJawaharlal Nehru, who is the main architect of building the Modern India, is always shown inbad light. No doubt there might have been some shortcomings during the Nehru era but it certainlylaid the foundation for industrialization and agriculture development with emphasis on basicindustries like steel and cement. He is instrumental in establishing premier educationalinstitutions in the country. His emphasis on Public sectordevelopment was good andappropriate as at that point time private sector was not forthcoming to take the economyforward nor did they have the wherewithal to fulfill economic development with emphasis onsocial uplift. Today public sector needed to get out of some of the sectors particularly serviceoriented industries and rightly the present day government was gradually taking thenecessary steps. For example, Modern Bakeries had to be set up in public sector for manufacturing bread asprivate sector was unable to respond to the emerging situation in an era of food shortages.This not only helped in price stabilization but also ended the bread shortage and now privatesector has taken over the sector and rightly government exited the sector. Likewise Foodcorporation of India was set up to build large warehousing facility and to procure food grainsfor the huge public distribution system besides ensuring buffer stock and food security in thecountry.This had to be done when green revolution took place in the country in 1960s wherePunjab, Haryana and Western Uttar Pradesh became the granary of India. Now it is time todisband this monolithic organization and government should encourage small warehouseswith cold storage facility for different crops under public-private partnership to take care oflocalised requirements and price stability. This is yet to happen in the country as this would also ensure better price discovery and minimize corruption in procurement process. These are examples to indicate how governments should respond to emerging economicsituation. There is therefore no denying of the fact that every government in the past havecontributed to the economic development. Of course some may have contributed more atsome point of time and some others a little less in the face of difficult economic situation.Now a days just like political debates, the economic debates too has adopted tutumeinmeinapproach while discussing serious issues like growth, inflation, economic reforms, balance ofpayment situation, fiscal situation, so on so forth.The BJP’s Nupur Sharma episode has opened the eyes of the government, which forced theruling party to take stern action against her with several Islamic countries, particularly thegulf countries summoning Indian ambassadors to voice their protests and displeasure. Gulfcountries are critical for India’s economic development as there among the largest tradingand investment partners. Besides it is home to millions of Indian expatriates, who are notonly employed there but also sent huge remittances to the country. The two way trade withgulf countries is over $100 billion. Foreign remittances by expats are among the largest inthe World surging towards $100 billion mark - Kapilkumar M. Hirpara and nearly 40 per cent came.
