ECONOMY SECTION FISCAL HEALTH & ECONOMIC REFORMS INCREASING DEBT BURDEN OF HIMACHAL STATE The Himachal Government will raise a loan of Rs 1,000 crore in two equal installments for undertaking development works in the state. The Finance Department has decided to raise these loans with the last quarter of the financial year 2020-21 coming to an end on March 31. The Finance Departments has sought the consent of the Central Governmnet to raise the loans, as required under Article 293(3) of Indian Constitution. The two installments of Rs 500 crore each are being taken for a period of 14 and 15 years from the open market. The Rs 1,000-crore loan will be received by February 17, 2021. The mounting debt trap of r Rs 60,000 crore has been a cause of worry for the state government. With little avenues of resource generation, Himachal remains dependent on loans for undertaking development works. Most of the development works, be it in roads, health, education, housing and infrastructure are undertaken under various Centrally Sponsored Schemes. With this loan of Rs 1,000 crore, the Himachal Government can now only raise a loan of Rs 600 crore only for the current financial year ending on March 31, 2021. The recommendations of the 15th Finance Commission will come into effect after March 2021. The Rs 450-crore special interest free 50-year-loan to Himachal Pradesh given by the Union Finance Ministry in October 2020 came as a breather for the sagging economy which is already under a huge debt trap with little revenue generating avenues. Himachal was amongst the top beneficiary states in the country in getting one of the highest allocations. ANNUAL DEVELOPMENT BUDGET PLAN Himachal Pradesh Planning Board has approved the Draft Annual Development Budget for the year 2021-22. Chief Minister presided over the meeting. The State Government has decided to do away with the old system of Plan and Non-Plan categorization for the Budget and has decided to start new system of Annual Development Budget instead of Annual Plan from the year 2021-22. It will be now classified into Capital and Revenue expenditure only. 4 Budget allocations under Tribal Area Development Programme, Scheduled Caste Development Programme, Aspirational Block Development Programme and Regional and Decentralized Development Programmes will be made in Demand Nos. 31, 32 and 15 respectively. The State Government has made a provision of Rs. 9405.41 crore for the State Development Budget for the year 2021-22. Old Titles of Sub Plans New Mechanisms for Sub Plans Budget Allocation (2021-22) Rs Percentage General Plan General Development Programme 6096.70 crore 64.82 % Scheduled Caste Sub Plan Scheduled Caste Development 2369.22 crore 25.19 % Programme Tribal Sub Plan Scheduled Tribe Development 846.49 crore 9 % Programme Backward Area Sub Plan Backward Area Development 93 crore 0.99 % Programme Although the names have been changed there has been no decrease in the allocation for funds for the development of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Backward Areas. As many as 251 projects worth Rs. 926.24 crore have been approved under NABARD under MLA priorities during the year 2020-21. Out of this, Rs. 565.52 crore has been provided for roads and bridges whereas Rs. 360.72 crore have been provided for minor irrigation and drinking water schemes. CENTRAL ASSISTANCE: The Central Government provided financial assistance of Rs. 7161 crore to the State Government during the pandemic in form of Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana, Atamnirbhar Bharat, during Lockdown.

Weaving Traditions along the "Wool Road" in India bySuzetteR.. Copley Patterson Introduction Although the "Silk Road"' is by far the most famous network of trade routes connecting China, Central Asia, and India, there are other significant, ancient trade routes between these regions of which many may not be aware. One such trade route, known informally as the "wool road", connected the plains of the Punjab in India to Tibet, Central Asia and China1. This route, and several others, passed through the Kullu and Kinnaur regions of the northern Indian state known as Himachal Pradesh. The "wool road", which was really merely a donkey trail, was the traditional main trade route in the region, and was so important that it was later widened to motorable width to boost trade in the region and came to be known as the Hindus tan-Tibet road".
