FDI POLICY- OBAMA KHUSH HUA!

The Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in retail has sparked a debate whether it's going to be a bane or boon to the growth of our country. FDI  in retail is definitely a back-footing by this government when India had the capability to surge ahead  indigenously.

Indian retail sector has been a major contributor to the nation's GDP and is also the second largest employer, next only to the agriculture sector. The business community has always been the soft target for  government policies, no matter which party is in power. (FDI policy was first initiated by NDA govt). Instead of providing stronger infrastructure and conducive business environment for small business and farmers the government's decision on FDI is a let down.  30% of the crops produced by the farmers are going waste due to lack of infrastructure. Few blame the traders and middlemen for the current situation. What is the guarantee that the farmers would get a fair deal from the big foreign retailer with far-fetched interests?

The US which is pushing(Link- 'OBAMA KHUSH HUA!)' the FDI in retail and our accommodating government is fiddling the system instead of making it stronger. The US is facing opposition to the  large retailers in its own backyard.(Link- Newyork neighbourhood opposes big retailer). These are the days of Foreign Indirect Governance. Question to all the policy makers/politicians who are pushing for this alien scheme- "Will you allow the FDG- Foreign Direct Governance?". You will not, because you will be jobless. God, Forbidden! 
We all know that the farmers in many developed countries get better crops per hectare than our farmers in India. Next, will the government initiate to lease out, or even sell agricultural lands to foreign agriculturists to get better yields??? And they'll call it reforms!! . 

Chintamani is mainly a business hub and a major feeder market for many villages and towns. It has more than 1200 retailers, over 100 wholesalers and many petty shops.  The FDI in retail will dismantle the present structure of the business and will put thousands of families in a hardship. But the business community in Chintamani can outsmart and make the big retailers run for their money. Chintamaniacs can handle any eventuality with firmness. Big can be bogged.

Dr M.C.Sudhakar's comment on CC. Reassuring!

Dear readers, it is indeed a pleasure to get the comments from Dr. M.C. Sudhakar, MLA, the leader whose unending efforts to improve Chintamani town is there for everyone to see. The sight of the people carrying plastic pots to fetch water are the days of the past. Double Roads(remember, there were encroachers on either side of the road), Stadium, Bus-stand and the market have all seen a drastic change, especially the market next to the bus-stand which had become a den for the anti-social elements for years. And, ofcourse, there are plenty of other projects which has to see the light of the day which will mark a remarkable change in this small town. Wishing him all the success in all his endeavour to make our Chintamani a great place to live-in. And sincere thanks for writing and putting across the further plans  to CC readers. We are really glad we have a responsive leader.

"People are spoting the roads now .sorry we are living in a democratic India .Difficult to take up progressive works ,people should understand the system ,one person cannot make things happen ,requires patience to do good in our country,hope things will improve and people appreciate the sincere efforts".

As he has implicated, a transition can only happen if there is an effort by both administrators and citizens in tandem. CC endorses his views.
