India to fund $450mil Isimba power project - Uganda

[MilSpec]

Maybe Sir, you would like to have a look at this:

Our, PRIVATE AGRICULTURAL INVESTMENTS.

GOI gives these companies huge subsidies, all agricultural produce is exported to India at minimal Import Duty.

These companies are being encouraged as GOI knows India doesn't have enough land to feed Future 1.5 Billion People.

We can have a discussion about agricultural subsidies some other day, that is another interesting topic. It is very heartening to see Indian private sector investing in African economies.
As far as the not having enough land for feeding our people :

According to the latest FAO report, the average yield of rice in India is 2.3 tonne/ha as against the global average of 4.374 tonne/ha. China is the largest producer of rice with an output of 197 million tonne with a per-hectare yield of 6.5 tonne while countries like Australia (10.1 tonne), US (7.5 tonne), Russia (5.2 tonne) lead the tally.

The report says India has done better in wheat by achieving an yield closer to the global average. It has recorded an average yield of 2.9 tonne per hectare as against the global benchmark of 3.0 tonne/ha. However, it's still far from countries like France (7.0 tonne), US (3.11 tonne) and China (4.8 tonne)

So maybe increasing out yield might be the solution for the long run, that includes better irrigation infrastructure, which in turn mandates funding for such projects.

I am not against funding foreign projects, but it seems insensitive from the government when most of maharashtra and karnataka is facing droughts!

Wasn't India's own creaking power infrastructure destroyed or something last year?

Our agricultural yield is not matching Global standards because a large area has been left out in 1st Green Revolution. Thats why a new green revolution is must. And this time this must include cereals along with Rice and Wheat.

As much as funding outside projects is concerned, this is kind of compulsion these days. We need to invest there in order to keep us in their good books. After all they are really rich in mineral and arable land.

Domestic Drought/Flood must not stop us from committing us in outside projects because enough fund is available to tackle these problems. If I am not wrong, around 70,000 Crores have been invested in Mahrashtra alone for irrigation with almost Zero result. Few hundred million dollars wont even make a dent.

Unless people from the state start giving boot to these parties, they will have to suffer. Everyone in Maharashtra knows what kind of ghotalebaaz the Chacha-Bhatija jodi is. Still somehow NCP keeps getting their votes. They themselves are to blame for the messy situation.Ajit Pawar has suggested a remedy, will be interesting to see if this has any impact on the election result. If they still get the seats, you know who to blame.

I kno it buddy thts y I said "Small Brain"

 

[shivgan3]

I think it is smart move to invest outside as money in India doesnt reach the poor.

@arp2041 a better investment than buying PMs abroad..acha kaam chal raha hai..specially in the agro sector.

 

[danger007]

well it is smart job... this kinda lil help's create positive opinion about India in africa... for the guy who feeling sad... don't worry buddy.. 450mil is using for good cause... so stop blabbering... we can't lift our poor with that money...
