Even if crude oil is cheap, why is petrol-diesel expensive? Crude oil prices in the world market have fallen below $94 per barrel in the past several months. As of yesterday this was $81.00 per barrel. This price reached 117 dollar. It is true that oil companies have suffered losses for some time now after increasing petrol-diesel prices to an extent but have not increased the prices. However, it is also true that when oil prices skyrocketed all over the world, Russia continued to supply crude oil at reasonable prices. As a result, the share of petroleum products in total exports rose to a record 22% between April to September. However, a major cause of the recession was the rise in petrol-diesel prices, Due to which the rent increased. Now is the time that the government also gives up its greed for revenue and the companies also do not keep the prices of petrol and diesel high in the name of last deficit. In general, the government of all times has been citing the increase in the pric...

Health infrastructure has to be strengthened The central government's Ayushman Bharat scheme is on the sidelines in several states of North India. The reason is the lack of development of health infrastructure in the average population for decades. It is the fault of the belief of the welfare state more than the fault of any government. Under which the governments have to waive debts due to immediate pressure, give free electricity to farmers, give free ration to the poor, give tax relief to industrialists, waive off bank debts, due to which long-term health and education facilities are not a priority. A record 42% of people (3.1 crore) have been allotted cards out of a total population of 8.5 crore in one state. However, only 21 lakh people (7%) received treatment. Due to non-availability of health facilities and indifference of private hospitals towards this scheme, Because this expensive hospital does not want to provide treatment at cheap rates fixed by the government. In anoth...

Bridges will continue to collapse if unrepentant corruption is not stopped The report of Administrative Reforms Commission-II mentions two types of corruption, Coercive (by showing threat of law) and Collusive (by conciliation). According to the commission, another type of corruption has taken root in developing countries like India. The commission recommended that strict laws be made to end it, In which the onus is on the accused to prove themself innocent and to create fully autonomous bodies for investigation. In this type of corruption there is an agreement between the engineer-contractor to install inferior quality goods and money is distributed internally. After a few years these two have got tremendous power to suppress the system with the power of money. Who was awarded the bridge contract?, Was he fit for the job?, How was the 140-year old bridge repaired?, What was the status of the approval certificate?, Why were tickets sold above capacity? and then who was responsible for ...

Crime has increased or the police are doing injustice? The President asked at a function in the presence of the CJI and the Union Law Minister that if the country is developing then why there is a need for more jails? He was referring to the ever-increasing number of undertrial prisoners in the country. After 70 years of independence, India's criminal to justice system stands in a strange place today. Where the number of prisoners undertrial is increasing, While sentenced prisoners are decreasing. Do the police also throw innocent people in jail? And in the absence of prompt action on bail in the courts, the innocent poor are deprived of their livelihood for months and out of basic rights, whose pains are suffered by their families. According to the Union Home Ministry, the number of sentenced prisoners has decreased by 9.5% during 2016-21. While the number of undertrial prisoners has increased by 54.8% in the same period. By the end of 2021, four out of every five prisoners in the...

It is necessary to awaken a new consciousness regarding parenting The increasing incidence of atrocities and killings for protesting in several states of North India is alarming. Another thing is the run away of teenage students from home. It is clear that these people eventually fall into the hands of anti-social elements and the girls end up in the flesh-trade (human trafficking) racket. A large section of psychologists believe that parenting styles will have to change in the age of the Internet. The easy availability of videos that mislead moods and thoughts is a major reason for this new disorder among the youth. It is true that cheap internet is a boon for free coaching of poor kids today. But parents also have to be aware of what the kids are actually using it for, especially in a private area, at night with friends. At the district level, the government, police and education department officials have to caution the parents in this direction through the teachers. According to a p...

How to strengthen India's position in changing technologies? Every new technology lowers production costs. This is the reason why those countries who adopt it so quickly, they stays more in profit. However, developing countries can not change plans at the pace at which technology is changing. For example, in India, CNG vehicles were introduced in the market two and a half decades ago to replace petrol diesel vehicles. The rationale was that this would reduce pollution and save import costs of expensive petrol - diesel. Car engines were made accordingly. Meanwhile, the government asked the automobile industry to modify the engine to mix ethanol in petrol. The government claimed that after a few years all two-wheeler vehicles would use only ethanol instead of petrol. After that, new ethanol producing factories started opening all over the country, sugar mills started making ethanol. Ethanol production increased from 38 million liters to 450 million liters in the last 8 years. It is p...

Extreme caution is required before applying UAPA In a correctional penalty system (as in India), the intention behind strict laws is to instill fear among criminals. First 'TADA' and then 'POTA' were introduced against terrorism, But both had to be eliminated. The main reason was that the punishment rate in this law was very low. Then UAPA (Unlawful Activities Prevention Act) made more stringent. This law sounds simple by name, But today it is considered the deadliest attack to state power, Because under it anyone can be kept in jail for months on suspicion of any crime. This law gives unlimited powers to the state. Is its misuse infringing on the fundamental authorities described in the Constitution? Does the police use 'intelligence' in such accusations? Statistics reveal that a total of 6900 cases have been registered under this Act in the last seven years. But only 159 have been found guilty. That means the penalty rate is 2.25%. It also means that in anothe...

The habits of the citizens of the modern society have to be changed A famous saying of Somerset Mom is, 'It's a strange world. Here everyone does it for their own selfish gain, but when someone else does it with the same intention, they condemn it.' We expect all kinds of morality from governments, from society, and from our neighbours, but we ourselves make such a mischievous gesture. A child was bitten by a neighbour's dog near Delhi that he had to get 40 stitches. Every day there are news that some irresponsible person has caused an accident by driving in the opposite direction, in which dozens of people have been killed or injured. It is a common occurrence to trample people who have gone out for a morning walk after drinking all night. Love the animal, but value the relationship with the neighbour. Freedom of the people is the foundation of any modern governance, but at the same time, people should create their own consciousness according to it. It is a pre-conditi...

The problem of developing countries on methane is serious The environment meeting, COP-27, is concerned for the second week that the Glasgow meeting a year ago, which only agreed on methane, has not seen much action on it. It is true that as the current meeting began, UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme) announced that the organization would now monitor each country's methane level statistics with the help of satellites. Methane is the second largest pollutant gas after carbon dioxide. It is believed to be 80 times more powerful than CO2 to keep stopping the temperature in the atmosphere. Methane gas emissions are highest through water-based crops such as rice, mining activities, and livestock. Such technology has not yet been developed, So that the emission of this gas can be reduced in agriculture. This is why agriculture has not been touched in the draft of India's long-term (till 2070) strategy. The condition of farmers in these countries is already not good and they...

Alternatives to increase agricultural production have to be considered A vigilant society should thoroughly investigate, benchmark and test the short- and long-term effects of each change before adopting it. However, many times this precaution is overdone and the benefit of the new technology does not reach society for decades. Genetically modified (GM) seed technology in agriculture has been opposed by a section, while the US, Brazil, Argentina and Canada have moved very quickly by adopt it. The Vajpayee government started a revolution by allowing the sowing of GM seeds in cotton in 2002, adding 'Jai Vigyan' to the slogan 'Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan'. As a result, cotton production tripled over the next ten years to nearly four million bales. Gujarat became the highest beneficiary state and India became the second largest exporter in the world. Another example is the leading countries in agriculture, which sparked a major revolution decades ago by adopting GM seeds in soybea...

When will inequality in the world end? According to a study, 60% of the world's spending on fashion products can end starvation around the world. But the fashion market is growing and starvation is still present in different ways.  On the other hand, the economic model in the world has been shaped in such a way that the gap between the rich and the poor is increasing. The growing market of fashion suggests that the one-way flow of capital is being spent on show off and dash. Just think how much gap there is between the talk and the action of a class in the world, that the fashion market has increased 200 times in the last 28 years in the world. However, India stands almost there on the brink of starvation. Luxury items especially automobiles, spending on travel and moving, or purchase of luxury houses also increased as expected. But in the recent statistics that have come out regarding malnutrition, the percentage of  malnourished childrens (low weight in front of length) born...
