 Last week we discussed in brief geopolitical pension and other prevalent topics.

Since the pandemic, we as the country used this period for bringing major changes in our procedure and system, the whole world is changing as each one wants to become self-reliant or self-dependent in each aspect of life.

The world order is changing for good.

The present situation has given us another opportunity to do the course correction or change the whole procedure.

Presently, one important issue we are facing today is medical education, the cost of education is very high with limited seats available to get admission.

 The present system of medical education along with reservation policy is creating an undesired situation. The number of seats presently we have nationally is not up to the mark or less than required.

We have to create an eco system that will give a cost-effective system so that we have medical education which will be the same  across the country. As we have created ONE NATION ONE TAX,  in both direct and indirect taxes across the country. In the same line ONE NAION ONE RATION CARD, the same system for unified pattern.

The other issue which is now making headlines is edible oil import (palm oil and sun flower oil) from Malaysia and Ukraine. The consumption of edible oil is increasing and our total production is very low.

The cultivation of both is very less which we have to increase the cultivation and also we have historically consumed oils like a mustard, ground nut and coconut oil along with Ghee, either we have to change our eating habit with returning to the old way or increase the cultivation and production of palm and sun flower.

There is a need for changes within our means. The headline inflation which is creating problems in our life is not translating the again for our farmers.

The cost of our farm produce is more than that of cost of other countries which is a major hindrance for export and increasing the realization of the cost of production. 

There is one change is going on in some farm produce where farmers are getting good prices than that of minimum support price for the same commodity.

If we see only inflation as a hindrance against growth then agriculture will be less attractive or remain an unviable proposition.

The farmers are getting a fair price for their products will make not only farming a viable business but also it will increase market for other product, which will be win win situation for all of us.
