India raises defence budget by 7.9% to over Rs4 trillion

[cirr]

It's only for the past 7-8 years that India has been spending so much. Between 1980-2000 , the expenditure on military was peanuts which led to accumulation of soviet era obsolete junk. The recent increase is to compensate for all those years. Secondly , the expenditure in terms of % of GDP is still around 2% , lower than Pakistan and China and majority of G20 nations.

The last time I checked，China's annual defence budget is less than 1.5% of its GDP（10.4 trillion USD in 2014）。

Don't give me the western estimates，for they are nothing but craps。

And If you believe in what the West feeds you，you are an absolute fool。

A brainwashed retard。

PS China can easily afford annual growth in military expenditure of 10-15% for the next 20 years。

 

[Kloitra]

For an economy that has had annual average growth of some 5% for the past 5 years or so，7.9% is a huge increase。

Budget growth would depend on nominal gdp growth, not real. Nominal gdp growth was higher than 10%.

[Homo Sapiens]

The plan is that your country will generously lend us money to make ends meet. Because:

Indian GDP: $1.9 trillion
Bangladesh GDP: $150 billion

Indian GDP per person: $1500
B'desh GDP per person: $950

So why should we worry about money, when we have a super rich neighbour like you to help us?


Well, if you "found on internet", how can we ever doubt your credibility?

Correction,
Indian GDP per person - 1761$ in 2015
Bangladesh GDP per person - 1310$ in 2015

30 crore people still live in extreme poverty in India: UN report - The Times of India

30 crore people still live in extreme poverty in India: UN report
TNN | Feb 4, 2015, 07.36PM IST

About 30 crore people still live in extreme poverty in India even as the Millennium Development Goal (MGD) programme will expire in December, a United Nations report has said.
NEW DELHI: About 30 crore people still live in extreme poverty in India even as the Millennium Development Goal (MGD) programme will expire in December, a United Nations report has said.

"Still nearly 300 million people live in extreme poverty in India and face deprivation in terms of access to basic services, including education, health, water, sanitation and electricity," the report - India and the MGDs: Completing the Task - said.

India, which has a population of over 125 crore, adopted the United Nation's MGD in 2000 with an aim to free millions from extreme poverty and hunger, illiteracy, poor health.

The eight-point MGD among others targets promotion of gender equality and women empowerment, reducing child mortality, improve maternal health, combating HIV/AIDS and environmental sustainability.

"India has made a great progress on MGDs, but there is no room for complacency, because there are gaps relative to the goals and targets.

"There are enough opportunities and there is a lot of scope to catch up, and it is critical that by the end of the year when the MGD expires, we really accelerate momentum during this year so that we start the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) agenda," said Shamshad Akhtar, UN Under Secretary General and Executive Secretary UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and Pacific (ESCAP).

India has an opportunity to become a leader in sustainable development. It has achieved the poverty reduction target, but the progress is uneven, said the report.

"Being home to one-sixth of the world's population, the world is not going to achieve the SDGs if India does not (achieve them)," Akhtar said.

After MGD expiry, the UN will begin its SDG programme. India has halved incidence of poverty from 1990s. Still over 27 crore people in 2012 remained in extreme poverty, making the post-2015 goal of eliminating extreme poverty by 2030 challenging, but feasible, it said.

It is significant that countries across the globe have made social development a public policy through MGD, said TCA Anant, Secretary, Ministry of Statistics and Planning and Chief Statistician.

"We ourselves bring our report. From our report I can say that we have achieved progress on number of indicators," he said.

Seeing MGD an opportunity, he said, it allows India to sharpen its capability of data mining. "We realised we faced enormous challenges in our capabilities to measure. There are many indicators in the goal on which we still have limited information," said Anant.

The education sector saw over a 2% cut in the outlay announced in the Union Budget on Saturday, even as the government proposed to set up new IITs and IIMs in some states. The slash in the education sector as compared to the revised allocation in 2014-15 is 2.02%.

In all, school education and higher education sectors have got Rs 69,074 crore. The revised estimate for 2014-15 was Rs 70,505 crore. The cut is, however, about 16.54% if compared with the actual outlay the 2014-15 fiscal.

Notwithstanding the cut though, HRD Minister Smriti Irani described the Budget as "pragmatic" and said she was "extremely grateful to the allocation of funds for higher learning and also about the thrust on innovation through funding".

While the school education sector has got an outlay of Rs 42,219.50 crore for 2015-16, the higher education sector has got Rs 26,855 crore.

The thrust has been on the higher education sector with the announcement of an IIT in Karnataka and upgradation of Indian School of Mines, Dhanbad into a full-fledged IIT, capping a long standing demand for the people in Jharkhand.

"I propose to set up an IIT in Karnataka, and upgrade Indian School of Mines, Dhanbad into a full-fledged IIT," Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had said in his Budget speech. "IIMs will be setup in Jammu and Kashmir and Andhra Pradesh," he added.

The Minister also announced setting up of Institutes of Science and Education Research in Nagaland and Odisha.

A Centre for Film Production, Animation and Gaming in Arunachal Pradesh and Apprenticeship Training Institute for Women in Haryana and Uttarakhand has also been proposed.

Jaitley also announced the setting up All India Institutes of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, Himachal Pradesh and Assam.

There are private educational institutions filling some of the gaps, not so in defence. Silly comments like this don't help. the previous government run by a different part spent pretty much the same amount. Crap about Hindu govt. etc are pointless.
