Govt. will address concerns of SMEs, exporters on GST: Adhia The government is looking to ease the compliance burden for small businesses and ensure they are not adversely impacted by GST, while also working out a solution for easier refund of taxes paid by exporters, revenue secretary Hasmukh Adhia said. Adhia also indicated to TOI that petrol and diesel may not be included in GST immediately, while pointing out that levy on oil products in other countries was higher than the VAT or the GST rate. Amid criticism from various quarters, he acknowledged that there would be some transition pain but added that the government and the GST Council were flexible in addressing concerns. “For honest taxpayers, there cannot be anything better than this because GST puts a premium on honesty. At the same time, it will make it very difficult for dishonest businessmen to evade taxes and that's why there is some opposition. Those who were not paying taxes will face some pain initially because, for the first time, they have to put everything on record, maintain proper books of accounts and file returns, “he said.

    Constitution of Committee to Recommend Economic Revival Measures Including Fiscal Restructuring for State Economy Post COVID 2019 Pandemic

    Constitution of Committee to recommend economic revival measures including fiscal restructuring for State economy post COVID 2019 pandemic. Government of Gujarat General Administration Department (Planning) Resolution No. PRC/102020/322/TH Sachivalaya, Gandhinagar Date: 12th May, 2020. In order to tackle COVID 2019 pandemic, State Government has already taken slew of measures in the areas of food security, healthcare and specific sector related incentives. However, the economic impact of COVID 2019 pandemic in the State has been hugely disruptive. This devastation has severely affected both demand and supply sides of the State economy. In particular, the informal sector as well as MSMEs are among the worst affected sectors. Also, Gujarat is one of the states having large number of in-migrant workers from across the Country and these migrant workers have moved to their resident states. The disruption caused by COVID 2019 pandemic in industrially developed state like Gujarat would severely impact the Country’s economy as well. Keeping this in view, a committee of experts from diverse economic fields needs to be constituted to deliberate on economic revival measures including fiscal restructuring; under post COVID 2019 pandemic scenario and provide suggestive measures. Resolution:- After careful consideration, the State Government has decided to constitute a Committee to deliberate on economic revival measures including fiscal restructuring; under post COVID 2019 pandemic scenario and provide comprehensive suggestive measures. The Constitution of a committee is as under:- Sr. Name of the expert and designation Position 1 Dr Hasmukh Adhia, IAS Retd, Former Finance Secretary, Govt Chairman of India. 2.

    Student Absenteeism and School Health Programmes in Bihar

    Working paper Student Absenteeism and School Health Programmes in Bihar Prabhat Ghosh Anjini Kochar March 2013 Student absenteeism and School Health Programs in Bihar By Prabhat Ghosh† and Anjini Kochar†† December 2012 (revised February 2013) †Asian Development Research Institute ††Stanford University This research was generously funded by a grant from the International Growth Center (Bihar Program). All opinions are those of the authors and they alone are responsible for any errors. The help and support received from Dr. Shaibal Gupta and researchers at ADRI is gratefully acknowledged. 1. Introduction This paper has two objectives. First, it provides information on student absenteeism in elementary school in two districts of the North Indian state of Bihar. While teacher absenteeism has received a significant amount of attention in the literature, less is known about student absenteeism. Knowledge of student absenteeism is critical for policies that attempt to improve schooling outcomes. It also helps the design of other programs that deliver services, such as health and nutrition, to children through schools. The extent of student absenteeism may critically affect coverage of any program delivered through schools. However, it is also necessary to understand the determinants of absenteeism since any systematic variation in absenteeism, across schools and amongst students within a school, will also influence the distribution of program benefits. A second objective is to assess the extent to which variation in coverage reflects components of the design of the program. This is particularly useful from a policy point of view, since it suggests methods whereby coverage can be enhanced, even given prevailing levels of student absenteeism.

  • Caste, Land, and Migration: a Preliminary Analysis of a Village Survey in an Underdeveloped State in India

    Caste, Land, and Migration: a Preliminary Analysis of a Village Survey in an Underdeveloped State in India

    INSTITUTE OF DEVELOPING ECONOMIES IDE Discussion Papers are preliminary materials circulated to stimulate discussions and critical comments IDE DISCUSSION PAPER No. 334 Caste, Land, and Migration: A Preliminary Analysis of a Village Survey in an Underdeveloped State in India Yuko Tsujita* and Hisaya Oda** Abstract This paper explores migration from Bihar, one of the most underdeveloped states in India, by paying particular attention to social class (caste) and landholdings. After describing details of individual migrants, we present our preliminary findings on the determinants of migration, based on our field survey of 200 households in four villages in 2011. In terms of social class, Muslims are more likely to migrate, but Scheduled Castes do not show a high propensity to migrate as is stated in some of the existing literature where the underclass is said to be more mobile. In terms of landholdings, the probability that someone will migrate is high among the landless and smaller landholders but it decreases as the size of the landholding increases. However, as the size of the landholding increases still further, a reverse effect of landholding on decisions regarding migration moves in, with the decline in probability becoming less and less. This result confirms a non-linear relationship between landholdings and the decision to migrate. Some further research questions are raised in the paper. * Institute of Developing Economies ([email protected]) ** Ritsumeikan University ([email protected]) Keywords: migration, caste, land, India, Bihar JEL classification: O15, R23, Q15 The Institute of Developing Economies (IDE) is a semigovernmental, nonpartisan, nonprofit research institute, founded in 1958.
