  • Supermarkets in India: Struggles Over the Organization of Agricultural Markets and Food Supply Chains
    \\jciprod01\productn\M\MIA\68-1\MIA109.txt unknown Seq: 1 12-NOV-13 14:58 Supermarkets in India: Struggles over the Organization of Agricultural Markets and Food Supply Chains AMY J. COHEN* This article analyzes the conflicts and distributional effects of efforts to restructure food supply chains in India. Specifically, it examines how large retail corporations are presently attempting to transform how fresh produce is produced and distributed in the “new” India—and efforts by policymakers, farmers, and traders to resist these changes. It explores these conflicts in West Bengal, a state that has been especially hostile to supermarket chains. Via an ethnographic study of small pro- ducers, traders, corporate leaders, and policymakers in the state, the article illustrates what food systems, and the legal and extralegal rules that govern them, reveal about the organization of markets and the increasingly large-scale concentration of private capital taking place in India and elsewhere in the developing world.

  • Income Distribution, Market Imperfections and Capital Accumulation in a Developing Economy
    Income Distribution, Market Imperfections and Capital Accumulation in a Developing Economy Asim K. Dasgupta Foreword by Amartya Sen Income Distribution, Market Imperfections and Capital Accumulation in a Developing Economy “I find this book very interesting. Prior to Asim Dasgupta’s work, the standard growth and development models ignored credit constraints and their implications for resource allocations and growth. This had disturbing implications: a redistribu- tion of income from the rich to the poor would lower savings and investment, thus capital accumulation and growth. But redistributions in a credit constrained world may lead to a more efficient allocation of capital, thereby improving growth. While the findings are intuitive,Income Distribution, Market Imperfections and Capital Accumulation in a Developing Economy presents a simple and convincing model to establish them with some rigor. The exposition is sufficiently clear that it should be easy to follow.” —Joseph E. Stiglitz, American economist and Professor at Columbia University, USA. He is also a recipient of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences (2001) and the John Bates Clark Medal (1979). Asim K.

  • GST-SME Sector
    © 2018 JETIR October 2018, Volume 5, Issue 10 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) GST – The Game Changer for Indian Economy: GST-SME sector Naaharavaar Lakshmishree Dharmendra –Research scholar Dr Gaurav Khanna- Research Guide Madhav University, Abu road , Sirohi , Rajasthan Abstract: In this paper my aim is to study about GST, journey of GST, foreign countries who have adopted GST model , impact of GST on SME sector . Indian government has structured GST for efficient tax collection, reduction in corruption, easy inter-state movement of goods, Make in India promotion etc. because of all these factor Indian SME will be more competitive in international market which will compete with China, Bangladesh etc .New emerging market in FMCG ,textile, ecommerce ,automobile sector will be benefited in future Main issue in GST is tax evasion arising out of small businesses not registering, under- reporting of actual sales by traders; traders collecting tax but not remitting to the government; and traders making false claims for refunds. Finally I just want to suggest that government should focus on cyber security ,strong IT infrastructure ,GST learning programmes for local people then and only we will get long term benefit. Keyword : SME, foreign countries ,tax evasion , cyber security ,IT infrastructure ,Learning programmes Introduction of GST In India, GST is proposed to have a dual structure— a Central GST levied and collected by the Centre and a state GST administered by States. The Goods and Service Tax will bring into place a unified taxation system, which would merge most of the existing taxes into a single taxation system.

  • Land Reform and Farm Productivity in West Bengal By
    LAND REFORM AND FARM PRODUCTIVITY IN WEST BENGAL1 Pranab Bardhan2 and Dilip Mookherjee3 This version: April 23, 2007 Abstract We revisit the classical question of productivity implications of sharecropping tenancy, in the context of tenancy reforms (Operation Barga) in West Bengal, India studied previously by Banerjee, Gertler and Ghatak (JPE 2002). We utilize a disaggregated farm panel, controlling for other land reforms, agriculture input supply services, infrastructure spending of local governments, and potential endogeneity of land reform implementation. We continue to find significant positive effects of lagged village tenancy registration rates. But the direct effects on tenant farms are overshadowed by spillover effects on non-tenant farms. The effects of tenancy reform are also dominated by those of input supply programs and irrigation expenditures of local governments. These results indicate the effects of the tenancy reform cannot be interpreted as reduction of Marshall-Mill sharecropping distortions alone; village-wide impacts of land reforms and agricultural input supply programs administered by local governments deserve greater attention. 1For research support we are grateful to the MacArthur Foundation Inequality Network and the National Science Foundation (Grant No. SES-0418434). Monica Parra Torrado and Neha provided outstanding re- search assistance. We thank officials of the West Bengal government who granted access to the data; to Sankar Bhaumik and Sukanta Bhattacharya of the Department of Economics, Calcutta University who led the village survey teams; to Bhaswar Moitra and Biswajeet Chatterjee of the Department of Economics, Ja- davpur University who led the teams that collected the farm data; to Indrajit Mallick and Sandip Mitra who helped us collect other relevant data.

In 1991, the Government of India began to pursue a far more liberal policy of economic development, with emphasis being placed on non-agricultural growth, the role of the private sector, and the merits of foreign direct investment (FDI).

  • Goods and Services Tax (India)
    Best Personal Counseling & Guidance about SSB Contact - R S Rathore @ 9001262627 visit us - www.targetssbinterview.com Goods and Services Tax (India) Goods and Services Tax (GST) is an indirect tax applicable throughout India which replaced multiple cascading taxes levied by the central and state governments. It was introduced as The Constitution (One Hundred and First Amendment) Act 2017, following the passage of Constitution 122nd Amendment Bill. The GST is governed by a GST Council and its Chairman is the Finance Minister of India. Under GST, goods and services are taxed at the following rates, 0%, 5%, 12% and 18%. There is a special rate of 0.25% on rough precious and semi-precious stones and 3% on gold. In addition a cess of 15% or other rates on top of 28% GST applies on few items like aerated drinks, luxury cars and tobacco products. Touted by the government to be India's biggest tax reform in 70 years of independence, the Goods and Services Tax (GST) was finally launched on the midnight of 30 June 2017, though the process of forming the legislation took 17 years (since 2000 when it was first proposed). The launch was marked by a historic midnight (30 June - 1 July 2017) session of both the houses of parliament convened at the Central Hall of the Parliament. The reform process of India's indirect tax regime was started in 1986 by Vishwanath Pratap Singh with the introduction of the Modified Value Added Tax (MODVAT). A single common "Goods and Services tax (GST)" was proposed and given a go-ahead in 1999 during a meeting between then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and his economic advisory panel, which included three former RBI governors IG Patel, Bimal Jalan and C Rangarajan.

  • Grassroots Democracy: a Study of the Panchayat System in West Bengal1
    Grassroots Democracy: A Study of the Panchayat System in West Bengal1 Maitreya Ghatak Development Research Group, Calcutta. Maitreesh Ghatak. Department of Economics, University of Chicago. November, 1999 Prepared for the Conference on Experiments in Empowered Deliberative Democracy, Wisconsin–Madison, January, 2000. 1. Introduction In this paper we study some institutional features of a very unique and large scale experiment in economic and political decentralization introduced recently in the Indian state of West Bengal. The provision and maintenance of all local public goods, and implementation of most local public projects were handed over to formally elected Village Councils (Gram Panchayats). Previously, these functions were discharged by bureaucrats working under state and central governments, a system that received widespread criticism as inefficient, corrupt and inequitable. The historical roots of this system go back to the colonial period. As Dreze and Sen (1995) point out, while hierarchical centralization may have been necessary for a handful of foreigners to administer a large and potentially rebellious population, there was no good reason for it to have been consistently perpetuated by the successive governments of independent India.2 There is much evidence that the poor functioning of local public services in India relates to the centralized and non-participatory nature of their management. 1 The authors would like to thank Pranab Bardhan, D. Bandyopadhyay, Asim Dasgupta, and Archon Fung for helpful discussions, and Lipi
