  • Economic Survey and Challenges in Indian Economy
    ECONOMIC SURVEY AND CHALLENGES IN INDIAN ECONOMY Ramesh Chand Member, NITI Aayog The year 2015-16 has been a very difficult year for the Indian economy. The global environment remained unfavourable for exports and slowdown in the major economies, put downward pressure on the growth rate of Indian economy as well. India faced four consecutive unfavourable weather seasons which hit agricultural and rural economy hard. The country received below normal monsoon rain and experienced drought in many parts during 2014 and again in 2015. The crop output during rabi season last year (2014-15) suffered due to untimely and excessive rainfall, hailstorms and freak weather. Again in year 2015-16, many parts of the country remained highly deficit in winter rains. The temperature has been ruling much higher than normal. As a result, crop output in rabi season of year 2015-16 is expected to be lower than the normal. The rainfall deficiency has not only affected agricultural output, it has also affected other economic activities due to low availability of water. The adverse climatic factors not only affected output of agriculture sector but also caused adverse effect on non-agriculture sector due to depressed demand in rural India. If agriculture output was normal, it would have pushed the growth rate in total GDP up by 0.30 percentage points. Despite these odds the growth rate in total GDP is estimated to accelerate to 7.6 per cent. It is remarkable that despite negative growth of agriculture output during 2014-15 and below normal output in year 2015-16 food inflation has remained below 6 per cent.

  • Estimates of Multidimensional Poverty for India Using NSSO-71 and -75
    WIDER Working Paper 2021/1 Estimates of multidimensional poverty for India using NSSO-71 and -75 Venugopal Mothkoor* and Nina Badgaiyan* January 2021 Abstract: We measure multidimensional poverty in India using National Sample Survey Organization data from 2014–15 to 2017–18. We use income, health, education, and standard of living to measure the MPI. The MPI headcount declined from 26.9 to 13.75 per cent over the study period. The all-India estimates indicate that 144 million people were lifted from poverty during this period. We include different health dimensions, factoring in insurance, institutional coverage, antenatal care, and chronic conditions. Income is the dominant instrument with the highest contribution to the MPI, followed by insurance. Cooking, sanitation, and education also have significant weights. The decline in deprivation is steeper in rural areas than urban areas. Our state-level estimates reveal that 20 states report less than 10 per cent headcount poverty, up from six states. COVID-19 may lead to reversals of these gains, with poverty rising to pre-2014–15 levels, rising more steeply in rural areas. Key words: MPI, income, poverty, India, deprivation, rural, urban, COVID-19 JEL classification: I14, I30, I32, I38 Disclaimer: The views expressed in this paper are those of the authors, and do not necessarily reflect the views of Niti Aayog. * Niti Aayog, New Delhi, India; corresponding author: [email protected] This study has been prepared within the UNU-WIDER project Addressing group-based inequalities.

  • Artificial Intelligence and Healthcare in India
    CSD Working Paper Series: Towards a New Indian Model of Information and Communications Technology-Led Growth and Development Artificial Intelligence and Healthcare in India ICT India Working Paper #43 Nirupam Bajpai and Manisha Wadhwa January 2020 CSD Working Paper Series – Artificial Intelligence and Healthcare in India Abstract Artificial Intelligence (AI), also referred to as the new electricity, is the emerging focus area in India. AI refers to the ability of machines to perform cognitive tasks like thinking, perceiving, learning, problem solving and decision making. Most of the AI systems rely on historical large datasets for predicting future trends and outcomes at a pace which humans would not be able to match. The development of AI in India is in the initial stages and there is no regulatory body focused solely on AI. However, recently, Government of India has taken various initiatives related to AI such as establishment of Artificial Intelligence Task Force, formulation of NITI Aayog's National Strategy for Artificial Intelligence #AIFORALL, setting up of four Committees for AI under Ministry of Electronics and Information technology etc. Some of India’s state governments have also taken few initiatives, such as establishment of Centre of Excellence for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (CoE-DS&AI) by Karnataka, Safe and Ethical Artificial Intelligence Policy 2020 and Face Recognition Attendance System by Tamil Nadu, AI-Powered System for monitoring driving behaviour by West Bengal, AI System to fight agricultural risks by Maharashtra etc. As with any other technology, AI brings with it a span of opportunities and challenges. In healthcare, AI could be beneficial in mining medical records; designing treatment plans; forecasting health events; assisting repetitive jobs; doing online consultations; assisting in clinical decision making; medication management; drug creation; making healthier choices and decisions; and solving public health problems etc.
