Are we Ready for Many Small States?

Whenever I get a Call from my Friends at Hyderabad, Only two common Questions , How is Cold at Delhi, How is your MBA Going and they receive every time only a common question from this side, and that is pretty obvious one. Yes, your guesses are very much true, “What has happened with regards to Telangana”. Many of my friends at Delhi ask me “Hyderabad is part of?” I am really bewildered to answer this, because I myself is not sure is it part of Andhra, or Telangana, or will it be a Union territory.

Should the government review fertiliser and food subsidy to curb expenditure?

I think government should definitely have a serious look over the way it provides food and fertiliser subsides and how these subsidies are utilised. If we observe, these subsidies have grown at a CAGR of 45 percent since 2003-03.In 2009-10 food subsidy bill is estimated at Rs.52489 cr.and fertiliser estimated at Rs.75000 cr.The purpose for which these subsidies are provided are not met. Food subsidy is provided to stabilise the price, adequate price to farmers and food security to the nation. But from the last two years food inflation continuously crossing up the double digit mark. In the same manner in case of fertiliser it is provided to increase production but rather these had gone to foreign players.
