Indian Economy: News and Discussion

[angryIndian]

In most countries with better education, moving to Middle class and above, living in Cities, caused height to increase in the general population.

However, in India, I am seeing reverse, the Urban Kids are not going out of home to play and so many are ending up shorter than their parents.

Kids from Lower Middle class to middle-middle class are having good increase in height though.

Children not going to play is not the reason for stunting growth.It has primarily got to do with nutrition.

The shocking reality is that despite India's impressive economic growth,the average height is declining.
This revelation is not by any NGO but the government's own NFHS.

India's ITES driven service based economy does not benefit the great majority.
Majority of Indian people still live hand to mouth and have to compromise on their nutritional needs to make their ends meet.

Fair enough!

We did get better access to food and nutrition, but large section of society chose to have pleasure food instead of proper nutrition.

Going out to play and having physical exercise does add to better physique and health as evident from China and South Korea where they have pushed mandatory play hours in school and compulsory sports for each kid.

This kicked up a storm sometime back. It's just not possible with a state with one of the highest HDI in the country apart from a very good GSDP in PCI terms & equally good PPP.

Yeah, did not get why Pronab Sen got butt-hurt by Shamika Ravi's piece. I mean come on, we all know that NSO and their methodologies are shit; why defend them?

This revelation is not by any NGO but the government's own NFHS.

It only shows that the findings of NFHS are not worth the paper they are printed on and Shamika Ravi is correct to question the lazy NSO babus.

View: India can’t lead the Global South and not feed it

India's decision to ban the export of many varieties of rice has led to fears that food inflation will rise and that countries in the Global South will be most affected due to already high debt levels and inflated food and fuel bills. The ban by the world's biggest rice exporter has brought...

Translation: Don't want Indian government to take measures that will rein in inflation and help them win next general elections.

With the size of India's electronics manufacturing sector expected to increase to USD 300 billion by 2025-26, the country is fast emerging as a global electronics manufacturing hub. What can further incentivise global players to shift base to India?

Most Indian kids live in rural areas where just going to school and back alone will burn more calories than 2 hrs at a gym.Not to mention many of them also work alongside their parents in fields.

Majority of Indians are engaged in jobs that pays meager incomes which have not kept in pace with inflation.Balanced diet required for mental and physical growth consisting of rice,wheat,lentils,pulses,vegetables,poultry,fish is expensive to bulk of the population
and the government subsidy mostly covers only rice and nothing else.
No wonder majority of Indians are anamic and suffer from micronutrient deficiencies

So it does not surprise me that average indian height is not increasing.I've been to villages across WB,UP,Odisha,Jharkhand and Chattisgarh and at 5'8 i would be the tallest in the village.

The question still remains that who will build a the first Chip making FAB in India. Foxconn/Vedanta has failed. The Indian government has $10 billion in the kitty for anybody who takes the initiative to build the FAB in India. Still no takers.

In there an international conspiracy to deny India this capability? I hope not.

Taiwan, the master of FAB business is dead silent on it. They want India to recognize Taiwan as a separate nation before any commercial business could proceed. They are asking too much for India to reverse 75 years of its policy. Yes; India could do that and start a war with China. It is too early for that. It is not possible until, india is $10 trillion economy. Then Chinese recognizing India as equal power will shout about but refrain from any war like moves.

Hence, Taiwan has to find an alternative route to build a chip making FAB in India, today. Who is asking for technology for 5nm FAB?. India will be happy with 28nm FAB. Somehow this has to be built by hook or by crook……….cheers.

No fab, it's an ATMP facility

No fab, it's an ATMP facility

So no fabs ?

No fabs yet, and I don't think anytime soon also. Unless someone like Foxconn is serious enough to gamble with their cash. There's a lot of competition now, so fabs might take some time. But ATMP facilities are good enough for a start
