...India lost 11 million jobs in 2018....
Forget Job Creation, India is LOSING Jobs
Job destruction news
We generally start with good news, but this is the most important news on the jobs front this month, and perhaps this year. It’s shocking and it comes from a trusted source: CMIE. India lost 11 million jobs in 2018. Yes, lost jobs. Instead of creating jobs, the Indian economy lost 11 million jobs. Rural India (9.1 million jobs lost) and women (8.8 million jobs lost) bore the brunt of the job losses. Not surprisingly, the unemployment rate hit a 27 month high of 7.4% in December.

As for the lower price of sugar/salt/pulses you quoted, it is about demand and supply, after the
demonetization and cash scarce, job losses, fall in disposable income in general there is bound to be less demand for household staple items and hence lower prices.
Gas cylinder is of 701.50 (without subsidy)... after subsidy it is of 495... since, we have surrendered our subsidy on all connections, I don't know the exact price...
How it works now a days:
1. Book gas via mobile by calling
2. If online payment of 701.50 done... Rs 20 will be discounted
3. Within 3 days delivery boy will be at your doorstep
4. Pay in cash... if payment was not done online...
5. Within a month you will receive the difference in your bank account... I.e. 701.5 - 495 = 206.5
12 cylinder per year are provided on subsidy... post that you will stop getting the subsidise amount...
During UPA...
1. Call the agency... if call picked, book... if not, visit the agency and book...
2. Waiting period of 7/9 days...
3. Your cash memo would be generated and your gas would be delivered in 2/3 days...
4. If, not delivered, booking cancelled and entire process repeats...
5. When delivery boy comes pay 20/30 rupees MEHNATANA to him so that he will come on time from next month...
Bro, I don't know about other villages... but in our village and adjoining area... it is very hard to get labour... for wheat reaping, this year charges are (per bigha) INR 1400 + 1 gathiya bhusa... or INR 1200 + Pick and drop + 1 gathiya bhusa...
Labour is too expensive...
Reaper binder machines are charging INR 1000/bigha...
Reaper is charging 500/bigha...
People are minting money... you have to work if you want to earn... god is not going to drop food in your tummy... their is a crisis in Indian farm sector but it is due to UNEDUCATED FARMERS whose educated children don't want to do farming...
It is impossible to give government jobs to such huge population... specifically in this modern era which is highly mechanized and automated...
Further, your analysis on demonetization is correct for INITIAL MONTHS... Now, things are normal and businesses are running smoothly until you want to deal in cash... only pain in A$$ is daily changing rules and slabs of GST... Coupled with the BS portal...
The inflation crisis during UPA ERA was due to hoarding...
Pakistan was natural gas surplus till a few years ago, even now about 70% of natural gas demand is met through local gas reserves.
As for the petroleum products about 70% of them is imported, Pakistan local production of petrol and diesel meets about 30% of requirement.
India economy is big and energy deficient and imports about 80% of its needs...
Gold and petroleum are the biggest burden on our financials... and believe me, current government is doing a great job to curb it...
We are rapidly moving towards wind, water and solar to fulfil our energy needs...
