Ranchi has of late been experiencing severe water shortage due to the widespread disappearance of water bodies. The district was once renowned for its reservoirs and community waterbodies, which supported the region’s agricultural economy. However, as a result of unchecked Urbanisation, several of these vital Resources have perished over time.
RMC sources said as per their survey two years ago, there were 194 ponds and reservoirs in the RMC area a few decades ago. Currently, there are around 70 waterbodies as many have disappeared or dried up over the past four decades, said an official.

On 9 August 2009, Kaushik Basu – then chairman of the Economics Department at Cornell University – got an unexpected phone call from Vini Mahajan, a joint secretary in the office of the Prime Minister of India. Quickly coming to the point, she informed Basu that Dr Manmohan Singh wanted him to become the chief economic adviser to the Government of India, a position that the prime minister himself had once served. As the professor was leaving for the USA the following evening, a meeting was hastily arranged at 7 Race Course Road the following afternoon while Basu was on way to the airport.

The conversations Kaushik Basu had with PM Manmohan Singh the following day changed the course of his career over the following seven years, first as India’s CEA and after three years, as ‘s Chief Economist. The day he began his new job in his grand office in the North Block, he began keeping a diary because he had decided beforehand to write a book on his experience as a policymaker. This book is a modified version of the author’s diary entries.

Basu’s impressions of his Delhi years ( 2009-2012) are as evocative as it can get. The stint as CEA was marked with high Inflation and its management, Growth challenges, exchange rate fluctuations as well as some remarkable growth recovery (with India moving past China’s GDP growth rate) and designing a pioneering food distribution system. There were Corruption scandals too during the period causing widespread street protests. Basu narrates these momentous events most candidly and in a manner making them readable by anyone, including someone like me having no background in economics.

Working system of the government is a continuous process. During this, challenges will continue to come and its solution will also continue to be found. Amidst all this you have to walk shoulder to shoulder with the government. You have to establish a better methodology. It is true that it is the job of the government to take a decision, but being the implementing authority, it is your job to put it on the ground and take it to the people, said Chief Minister Hemant Soren while addressing the first provincial session of Jharkhand Officer Teachers Federation at Jharkhand Technical University Auditorium.

The CM said that my government is moving in the direction of doing such work, which can set an example for the whole country and other states can implement it as a model. He said that it is our endeavour to create such a Jharkhand, where every person can stand on his own feet and live with dignity.

The CM said that the government is moving fast in the direction of strengthening the Education system. Model schools are being established and opened in this direction. The basic structures are being strengthened. Along with this, teachers are being trained in best institutes like IIMs, so that quality education can be provided in government schools as well. Very soon our model schools will be such that they will have better facilities and education than private schools.

In a move to boost tourism of the State to attract more tourists from the other parts of the Country, the will make the tourists aware of the rich cultural traditions and customs of Jharkhand through rural tourism under the tourism policy. It will be ensured that the benefits of this initiative eventually reach the villagers. The Government has started efforts to showcase the rich cultural heritage of the state.

The village will be notified by the department keeping in view the tourism potential for rural tourism under the policy. The pre-condition for declaring such a village as a rural tourism village would be that they should have primacy of traditional Art and Culture. Village tourism committees will be formed to promote mutual cooperation and livelihood in such villages. For this purpose the Department will take the cooperation of Self Help Groups (SHGs) so that they come forward to ensure success of the plan.

In the first phase, the villages identified by the department will be those where tourist places will be near the village or there is scope for promotion of tourism. So that tourists can be attracted through an attractive tour package. Such identified villages will be developed as model villages. Basic facilities like roads, lanes, drainage, parking, bus stand, lighting, sanitation, drinking water supply, and tourist information centre, open air theatre, landscaping, craft market, nature trails will be provided. Also, work will be done to connect local artisans and craft centers to develop them as rural tourism hubs. There will be works to promote local cuisine, local handicrafts and cultural aspects in such villages. For its effective management, a “Rural Tourism Sub-Committee” will be constituted comprising the members of the Panchayati Raj Institution.
