Addressing his fellow Indians from the Red Fort on 15th August 2014 the Prime Minister called for replacing the Planning Commission with another Institution that is in sync with the modern times and most importantly in sync with the aspirations of 21st century India. The Prime Minister also emphasized on the important role the states have to play in taking the nation forward.

This forum invites your innovative ideas on what shape will this proposed institution take in terms of structure, composition and area of functioning. Another area of focus that requires your inputs is how this proposed institution can enhance Centre-State coordination and thus become a true celebration of India’s Federal Structure.

Part 1 of 4: COMPOSITION: Proposed institution should be composed of 11 nominees from center and 1 from each state. All the nominees should have a term of 5 years with 20% moving in/ out every year in rotation. Centre’s nominees should be people of eminence with broad vision and having resided in at least 3 non-adjoining states of India for 1 year or more in each. The nominees from states should be people of eminence with broad vision and deep insight into the state’s strengths and needs.

private sector food processors come into play and prosper. The new proposed Operation Flood Scheme may be worth visiting and put in place. The new Group set up could meet each state separately. This is a way to ascertain the nature of their individual problems and understand their priorities for development and not to ascertain their quantum or type of budgetary support required. There are other Government Bodies like the Expenditure Commission who can understand debate... Contd.

like HUL, ITC and a host of south based enterprises, some started by enterprising IIM, IIT fresh and IT experienced young professionals. But they are mostly in Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, erstwhile Andhra Pradesh, and a few examples in Madhya Pradesh. This needs to change so that the latest cultivation techniques, best seed and planting materials and farm-gate storage practices are brought into play to increase yield and get more consistent quality. Only then will large scale... Contd.

Here the Agricultural Extension Centres are failing to educate adequately a vast majority of cultivators, farmers and producers in using the best horticulture techniques and practices. The primary problem may be that the farmers and growers do not have enough knowledge or education to utilize the training given. Also participation by private sector in agricultural cultivation including horticulture has been minimal, although there are some very bright, successful and profitable ventures... Contd

sectors and supply constraint in others? This will also bring down inflation which in turn will give you the option to consider bringing down real interest rates and encourage savings. In recent times, inflation more specifically, wholesale and retail price indexes have been driving inflation. And the main contributors are the fruits and vegetables, milk products and eggs, fish and meat products. It is now widely accepted that the increases are mainly due to supply constraints. Contd.

Yes, future can be forecast in a quantified manner. It may go wrong, as we cannot today predict every new opportunity that may be created by reforms in the private sector. Second, when you do Sector Reforms, you never know what kind of latent force you are unleashing. For the present, all of us must try to remove poverty in our country which we claim is food sufficient, so we are no longer ashamed to be Indians. Besides, how long do we suffer from both, demand constraints in some... Contd.

was that it made getting broadband services very easy. That created an entirely new sector - IT - almost entirely by private enterprises like TCS, Infosys, Cognizant Technology and a host of start ups by smart youngsters. Soon this became the fastest growth sector for the country. Now it employees a huge number of personnel and is a large export earner. India first got respect around the world for our capability in the IT Sector. Two lessons I derived from that experience: Contd.

And we predicted the demand till 2013. In 2010, I was pleasantly surprised when a Member (Technical) of Department of Telecom, Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (who was involved with our Group for a short while to answer difficult technology questions) called me to say that till 2008, our predictions were correct but now demand was outstripping our predictions. I thought about it and understood why. What the Telecom Sector Reforms had done by opening up the Sector... Contd.
