The Tragedy in Gambia and the Indian Pharmaceutical Sector

Vol. 57, Issue No. 42, 15 Oct, 2022

The lapse of quality control in India is unacceptable if the claim to be the pharmacy of the world is to be sustained.

New Initiatives for Democratic Decentralisation in Haryana

Vol. 56, Issue No. 43, 23 Oct, 2021
Mahi Pal

The 73rd amendment to the Constitution has given a new lease of life to panchayati raj institutions in terms of the continuity of regular elections and certainty for their permanent existence. But the strength of these institutions has been left to the apathy of the state government. The political leaders and bureaucracy did not allow the institutions of self-governance to grow by granting them the desired functions, finance and functionaries. However, the present government in power in the state has delegated several schemes to strengthen these institutions.

 

Farm Reforms, Protests and By-election in Haryana

Vol. 56, Issue No. 21, 22 May, 2021
Ramphul Ohlan

The central agricultural reforms have emerged as a new factor that played a vital role in the recently held by-election in a Haryana assembly constituency. Due to opposition from farmers and political parties to the so-called new farm reforms, the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party and Jannayak Janta Party coalition has remarkably lost its vote share and an opportunity to win a rural constituency by-election. The Indian National Congress has become a major beneficiary of opposition to central new farm legislation in Haryana.

BJP’s Sweeping Electoral Victory in Haryana

Vol. 54, Issue No. 32, 10 Aug, 2019
Kushal Pal, Jyoti Mishra

The Bharatiya Janata Party’s sweeping victory in Haryana in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections has highlighted the changing nature of politics in the state. The BJP overshadowed the regional parties which used to be its coalition partners in past elections. Dynastic politics which was one of the main features of Haryana politics was rendered ineffective as the BJP was accepted across various socio-demographic indicators.

Water Crisis in Punjab and Haryana

Vol. 51, Issue No. 50, 10 Dec, 2016
Sucha Singh Gill

After the Green Revolution, Punjab and Haryana have become water-scarce states due to the introduction of paddy as the main kharif crop, a massive increase in cropping intensity, and rapid urbanisation and industrialisation. However, the real issue--of reverting to sustainable cropping patterns and improving water-use efficiency--remains unaddressed. An improvement of 15% to 20% in water-use efficiency from the present level can provide each state with the increased water share it is demanding.

Haryana’s Panchayati Raj

Vol. 51, Issue No. 16, 16 Apr, 2016
Inderjit Singh

The conditions imposed by the amendment to the panchayati raj law in Haryana have not only excluded a large section of the population from contesting elections but have also deprived voters of their right to choose. All appropriate measures must be undertaken to ensure that these exclusionary conditions are withdrawn.

Right to Contest

Vol. 51, Issue No. 12, 19 Mar, 2016
Ruchi Gupta

All progressive forces need to come together to roll back the recent moves by the Bharatiya Janata Party Governments of Rajasthan and Haryana to curtail the right to contest elections through arbitrary and restrictive criteria. Parliament has just passed an amendment to the President's address reiterating the fundamental right to contest elections. This is a battle for India's democracy.

Vol. 51, Issue No. 10, 05 Mar, 2016
Abhay Chawla

The Meos, a Muslim-Rajput tribe staying around Delhi, Agra and Jaipur, have a rich oral tradition and have several popular tales sung to this day. This article explores how these stories contribute to the formation of the Meo identity through the prevalent folklore within this community.

Polluting Units

Vol. 38, Issue No. 27, 05 Jul, 2003
Yamini Gupt

The relocation of small-scale industrial units that do not conform to pollution standards is not a long-term sustainable solution. The regulating authority should create conditions conducive to innovation and help in the identification of cost-effective ways of dealing with the problem.

Haryana : Oilseeds and Gypsum Subsidy

Vol. 38, Issue No. 21, 24 May, 2003
Sunita Sangar

Gypsum was first introduced as a heavily subsidised agricultural input for reclaiming alkaline soils. Over a period of time it began to be used as a source of cheap sulphur fertiliser in oilseeds cultivation. Gypsum use is among the important reasons for the phenomenal growth of oilseeds production in Haryana. How has this change in farmers' perception of gypsum from a chemical additive to a fertiliser come about? What is the impact of extensive gypsum use on soil productivity?
