✅Gs-3 : Inclusive growth/ Economic development
➡️Central premise of the author : The central premise of the author is that electoral politics often swings between two extremes: development-focused promises and short-term populist measures. Both have their pros and cons, and the need of the hour is to find a balanced approach.
⚠️‼️My problem with these sort of articles?- they dont tell us WHAT THIS BALANCED APPROACH should be! and illogically supports freebie model of governance- that is not a solution at all!
➡️So here is my take on this issue : You are free to add any new ideas that come to your mind
⚜️1. Create a Comprehensive Infrastructure Review Board (CIRB) through law to evaluate these projects
⚜️2. Amend the FRBM act, 2003 to include PSUs- Benchmarking against international standards like the European Union's Stability and Growth Pact.( Read about this)
⚜️3. INTRODUCE - Populism Impact Assessment

Whenever I read this, I think about the word: collective consciousness
What is the impact of this collective consciousness? - it is the guru that teaches us lessons- it is the collective experience of the mistakes each one of us makes... And if we are open to learn from them, a new door always opens and let's the light in... no matter how dark it seems ...
We are what we learn from others and I thank every guru in my life on this day- Happy Guru purnima to all- let this day be a reminder to listen to what others have to teach🙏🙂
