September 2017 Government of India Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation Central Statistics Office Social Statistics Division www.mospi.gov.in PREFACE India has achieved considerable progress in socio-economic development over the years. It is the need of the Government to measure such changes through the compilation of comparable statistical indicators. Recognizing this need, the Central Statistics Office (CSO), Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation is bringing out a publication entitled “Selected Socio-Economic Indicators for India”. Since the publication was found to be quite useful by different types of users, CSO started bringing it out as a regular publication with revised nomenclature namely “Selected Socio-Economic Statistics, India” with effect from 1993 on quinquennial basis. This publication is the latest issue of the series covering a wide range of subjects. India has a very long tradition of collection of socio-economic statistics through the Population Census, National Sample Surveys and as a by-product of Administrative Statistics. Socio-Economic statistics play an integral role in achieving sustainable development objectives. The need for improvements in the field of data and statistics to monitor progress on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the associated need for statistical capacity building in developing countries have been highly recognized. As the country is committed to the Post 2015 Global Development Agenda, that is achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this publication could be an important source of information to the indicators related to some of the SDGs set. This publication provides a comprehensive picture of the socio-economic situation of the country enabling informed decision making. In view of the growing concern for social well-being and improving the quality of life, different types of social statistics and indicators of social development are in general demand. In tune with the changing requirements, the coverage and presentation of this publication have been significantly improved in the current issue. The data given in this publication is based on the information available in various government publications by the Union Government Ministries/ Departments/ Organizations and their published records/ websites. I express my deep gratitude to all the data sources which contributed the valuable data/ information and supported our efforts to bring out the publication. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Social Statistics Division and all those who have contributed directly and indirectly in bringing out this Publication in its present form. I hope the compendium will benefit all those who are involved in the field of policy, planning, management, administration, and research in the areas related to environment. Comments/ suggestions for further improvement of the publication would be welcomed and will be highly appreciated.

    Analysis on Indian Power Supply Situation and Policies

    IEEJ：July 2018 © IEEJ2018 Analysis on Indian Power Supply Situation and Policies National Expansion of Successful Electric Power Reform “Gujarat State Model” Jun Makita* Summary India features robust demand for the development of infrastructure including electric power and is expected to drive the world economy as a manufacturing base and a giant market. However, about 240 million people, close to one-fifth of the Indian population, live without electric power. Blackouts are frequent, indicating an unstable electric power supply environment. Narendra Modi, who was elected India’s 18th prime minister in May 2014, has vowed to supply electric power 24 hours a day, seven days a week, indicating his determination to promote domestic electric power development. Cited as the largest factor behind his election as prime minister are an electric power reform and other successful policies in Gujarat state when he served as the state’s chief minister from 2001 to 2014. Particularly, the electric power reform is called the Gujarat state model, gaining high ratings. In response to people’s strong wish to see the expansion of the reform’s fruits throughout India, Prime Minister Modi is now tackling the national expansion of the reform. Stable power supply is such an important policy challenge supporting national development. In this paper, Chapter 1 reviews India’s present situation and future outlook regarding economy, energy, electric power supply and demand, and an existing supply-demand gap. Chapter 2 summarizes India’s present electric power business arrangements, power supply conditions and numerous challenges facing India. Chapter 3 analyzes the Gujarat state model cited in the subtitle, delving into the electric power reform that Modi as chief minister of Gujarat state promoted to eliminate blackouts and into the reform’s fruits such as electric power quality improvements.

  • Republic of Korea Bilateral Relations

    Republic of Korea Bilateral Relations

    India – Republic of Korea Bilateral Relations India-Republic of Korea (RoK) relations has made great strides in recent years and has become truly multidimensional, spurred by a significant convergence of interests, mutual goodwill and high level exchanges. Bilateral consular relations were established in 1962 which was upgraded to Ambassador-level in 1973. In course of time, RoK's open market policies found resonance with India's economic liberalization and 'Look East Policy' as well as “Act East Policy”. Consistent Indian support for peaceful reunification of the two Koreas has been well received in this country. According to "SamgukYusa" or "The Heritage History of the Three Kingdoms" written in the 13th century, a Princess from Ayodhya (Suriratna) came to Korea, married King Kim-Suro, and became Queen Hur Hwang-ok in the year 48 AD [wife of former President Lee Myung-bak (Mrs. Kim Yoon-ok), former President Kim Dae-jung, former President Kim Young-sam and former PM Kim Jong-pil, inter alia, trace their ancestry to the royal couple]. Korean Buddhist Monk Hyecho (704–787 CE) or Hong Jiao visited India from 723 to 729 AD and wrote travelogue "Pilgrimage to the five kingdoms of India" which gives a vivid account of Indian culture, politics & society. The travelogue was rediscovered in China in 1908 and was subsequently translated into different languages, including Hindi, under the aegis of UNESCO. The original fragment is now owned by the National Library of France. Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore also composed a short but evocative poem – 'Lamp of the East' - in 1929 about Korea's glorious past and its promising bright future.

Bihar University Abstract The basic respect of the colonialization or peripheralization of India was its reduction to a producer of raw materials and importer of manufactures. This means that India as periphery of the world economy was assigned a specific role in the international division of labor. It was to Produce low technology, low productivity, law wage and low profit products in comparison to developed countries. This further deteriorated the economic condition of Indian people. The Indian economy grew at about 1% per year from 1880 to 1920 and the population also grew at 1%. The result was, on average, no long term change in income levels.

BRITISH RULE After gaining the right to collect revenue in Bengal in 1765, the East India Company largely ceased importing gold and silver, which it had hitherto used to pay for goods shipped back to Britain. [2] In addition, as under Mughal rule, land revenue collected in the Bengal Presidency helped finance the Company's wars in other parts of India. [2] Consequently, in the period 1760–1800, Bengal's money supply was greatly diminished. The closing of some local mints and close supervision of the rest, the fixing of exchange rates and the standardization of coinage added to the economic downturn.

Introduction The principle of gender equality has been enshrined in Constitution of India. Although women can be victim of any of general crimes such as murder, robbery, etc. but there are some gender specific crimes which are being characterized as crime against women, more specifically labeled as violence against women. The fear of violence can prevent women from pursuing education, working or exercising their political rights and voice. Violence against women causes suffering and misery to victims and their families and places a heavy burden on societies worldwide. It is a social construction based on a societal consensus about the roles and rights of men and women(Krahe Barbara,2017). Violence against women is a serious cause of concern as it also deprives women of their freedom and other safety rights which is a very bad indicator for any country’s development. From every region, women have grasped the power of social media to expose their pain and harm, including through use of the hashtags #MeToo, #NiUnaMenos, #BalanceTonPorc, #PrimeiroAssedio, #Babaeko and #WithYou(UN Women, 2018).

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic at the beginning of 2020 intensified the crisis, causing a drastic decline in aggregate demand and output. India and the UK have resorted to monetary and fiscal stimulus packages to face the economic crisis. This study investigated the inflation–unemployment dynamics during the recession and COVID-19 times in India and the UK. Using a generalized additive model (GAM), the results of this study revealed that the recession had given way to stagflation in India. In contrast, in the UK, it has led to a more severe recession in the short-run. During the downturn, policy initiatives aggravate the recession and eventually turn to stagflation in India due to inflation caused by the weak supply side. However, in the UK, the policy initiatives during this downturn pushed the economy into a deeper recession due to reduced demand. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has had a similar recessionary impact on both Citation: Victor, Vijay, Joshy Joseph economies.
