Lol. No. Democrats don't have that leverage over Elon of all people, he is already pro republican. Most probably will wait till election results are out. Will be hard for him to meet all big politicians in middle of election campaigning.

Kempe Gowda (governor of Vijayanagara empire) had better city planning in 16th century when he built 100's of artificial lakes in Bangalore to act not only as source of irrigation but also a sink for rain water. Our post independence city planning is truly pathetic. Most of the cities get...

1. PISA's sample was govt. selected to get better results, still failed badly. PISA isn't conducted by random NGO, its conducted by OECD . 2. How would you even gauge the effect if you don't have any kind of testing. Govt. itself should have annual or bi-annual surveys.

Just realized posted on wrong thread. Was meaning to post on economy thread, but yes last time few people here were arguing PISA test is fake, our govt's own report that 30-40% students in govt. school are not learning basic reading and math as fake

What I was talking about primary. education in India earlier being echoed by tata group as well : https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/economy/talent-deficit-mars-indias-manufacturing-ambition-tata-official/article67967768.ece Relevant part : “There is no dearth of opportunity or capital. The...

Even there 37% stunting is too high, even for our income peer groups. For eg: For Vietnam it is 19%, Indonesia 21% and Sri Lanka 15% (this after rising for 2 years due to economic issues). My hunch is this is because of non-balanced diet.

W Where is the data from ? How is Gujarat so much lower than souther states, generally tracks around Tamil Nadu/Karnataka per capita .

Govt. cannot fix its own data. What dumb fuckery is that. There is no country that has become developed without solving basic education (class 1-12). As far as innovation ranking is concerned, it supports my point as its not per capita. 30% of India population > Vietnam total population...

stunting/wasting = low iq

Based on Indian govt. surveys.

Stunting leads to poor cognition ability. Infact around 20% of Indian kids suffer from wasting, i.e., extreme form of stunting. : https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/at-18-7-indias-child-wasting-rate-highest-on-hunger-index/articleshow/104382065.cms

If 30%-40% of your population is poorly educated , stunted and hence mentally retarded, you can never achieve full potential of your population. As the saying goes "Facts don't care aout your feeling". All countries that became developed, solved these problems in their developing phase.

Gujarat has GDP per capita of 5000 USD. That is pretty low, so it has plenty of room to grow without additional spending on education, as there is plenty of low handing fruit. For eg: If 2 crore of Gujarat population has high levels of education and gets to 30k USD per capita GDP. Rest 4...

Brother, forget PISA, even the percentage of 5th graders who can read and write in India is pathetic. Making excuses doesn't fix that. Also, PISA schools and states were selected by govt. to maximize score.

Ah yes, Vietnam not outpacing India : https://www.imf.org/external/datamapper/NGDPDPC@WEO/IND/VNM As far as education is concerned, in PISA they rank 34, all countries above them are developed countries. India ranked 72 in PISA and ran away from participating...

India is sadly following the EU mindset. That is why there are hardly any successful tech companies from EU in internet age. US accepts that it is impossible to regulate cutting edge new technologies without slowing down the innovation, so allows it to evolve organically and then regulates when...

Click the link lazy man, its in sub-heading itself : India has expressed strong disappointment over Pitfield's remarks during a consultation meeting accusing New Delhi that India's rice procurement programme is not for people but for capturing the export market

I am pretty sure china and Russia also have those. https://www.wionews.com/world/worlds-most-powerful-wind-tunnel-opens-in-beijing-heres-how-it-will-boost-chinas-hypersonic-ambitions-601455

More and better Infra and modernize and simplify clearance processes needed for import/export. Actually India's rank has improved in logistics index in last 10 years.
