Dera Baba Nanak October 15After weeks of confusionclarity has finally emerged onthe subject of passport andvisa for pilgrims desirous ofvisiting Kartarpur throughthe corridor with governmentofficials stating that a pass-port will definitely be neededbut it will not be stampedwith Pakistani visas
This decision was keenlyawaited because it is com-mon knowledge that if a per-sonrsquos passport has a Pak-istani visa his or her visaapplication to the US Aus-tralia and European coun-tries is compromised
Cabinet Minister Sukhjin-der Singh Randhawa whovisited the site today said thePakistan government hadrecently conveyed this deci-sion to Indian officials
ldquoThis was confirmed byAjay Bhalla Union Home Sec-retary after a meeting heldwith him and other Centralofficials at the zero-line yester-day A passport will be neededjust for identification purpos-es There was a lot of uncer-tainty on this issue becauseunder normal circumstancesa person travelling to Pakistanby air sea or road needs to
have a visa stamped from thePakistan High Commission inNew Delhi However if any-body wants to use the corridorhe will not be requiring avisardquo said Randhawa
CM Capt Amarinder Singhhas been a strong votary of thecorridor being both passportand visa-free He had also tak-en up the issue with the minis-ters concerned in Delhi butmet with partial successbecause the government stillinsists upon having a passport
Randhawa said to ensure alevel-playing field the Centrewas mulling over a proposalto allow a pilgrim to cross overnot more than one time a year
ldquoRepeated visits by thosewho can financially afford togo will mar the chances ofother devotees Such a ruleshould be put in place at leastfor the first year of the corri-dorrsquos inceptionrdquo he said
Meanwhile the CM dis-patched PWD Minister VijayInder Singla to the corridor sitetoday ldquoAll four roads leading tothe ICP are being recarpetedand widened The governmenthas already sanctioned grantsThe passages which are beingstrengthened are the onesleading to Dera Baba Nanakfrom Fatehgarh ChurianRamdas Batala and Gur-daspurrdquo said Singla
No visa but passport mustto visit Kartarpur via corridorCentre may allow pilgrims only one trip a year

In less than two minuteshe wound up with ldquoJaiBheem Jai Bharatrdquo sloganNot mingling with villagers
or stopping for chit-chat heheaded to the next villageThis way he intends to cov-er all 91 villages of his con-stituency in the remainingfive days of campaign
Like Bagha Congresscandidate Balwinder SinghDhaliwal too is a fresher inpolitics An ex-bureaucrathe has retained his shirt-trouser attire His meet-ings at Palahi and Wahidvillages were held in anorganised manner undertents Rather than anysalutation he addressedthe gathering making surethat he read names of allprominent people partici-pating in the rally Thoughhe too is somewhat stone-faced his speeches are lit-tle longer wherein he callshimself a local and refers tothe days when he served asan SDM in the town
Attacking his BJP rivalcalling him an outsiderfrom Jalandhar he remind-ed everyone that his partystill had 25-year term in thestate and they should bankupon him for getting allpending works done
While Bagha is bankingupon Som Parkash Dhaliw-
al is relying on IndustriesMinister Sunder Sham Aro-ra for campaigning Arorahas been camping in Phag-wara since the electionswere announced
The campaign is alsobeing seen as a more of acontest between SomParkash and Arora
Caste equationsOf the five main candidatesthose of the BJP BSP AamAadmi Party and Lok InsaafParty are from the domi-nant Ravidassia communi-ty (38 pc) and hence thevotes in this community areset to split The Congresscandidate is a Mazhbi Sikh
and the community has justabout 9000 voters TheBSPrsquos repeated attempt torake up the issue of demoli-tion of Guru Ravidass Tem-ple in Tughlaqabad too canhit the Congress
The villages have a mixedSikh and Dalit populationwhile the city is largely
dominated by the HindusThe BJP believes that it hasthe support of Hindu votersand has been remindingthem of the abrogation ofArticle 370 in JampK TheCongress too has specifical-ly chosen minister SunderSham Arora to consolidateHindu votebank in itsfavour The defection of fiveMC councillors (who wereex-MoS Vijay Samplarsquos loy-alists) to the Congress toomay give an additional edgeto the party in urban areas

Chandigarh October 15For the Punjab Govern-ment a convicted cop whohas not spent even a singleday in jail or has been incar-cerated for even one monthin jail is eligible for pardonor special remission forimmediate release
Even poor financial condi-tion diseases like cancerand heart ailments besidesage-related health prob-lems have been cited as rea-sons for seeking remission
This has come up after aperusal of official docu-ments regarding names andcase details of 15 police-men convicted of offences
related to terrorism daysand whose cases were sentfor pardonremission to theUnion Home Ministry Sev-en of the cops have not evencompleted one year of theirsentence in jail They wereconvicted of offences dur-ing the terrorism erabetween 1980 and 1993
This is in a sharp contrastto the usual cases of crimi-nals or terrorists who havespent years in jails
Surprisingly one of thecops recommended forrelease was convicted lastyear only He is an 83-year-old former Inspector whowas given a life sentence inSeptember last year for kid-napping and murdering a
youth in 1992 He has spent11 months in jail so far
Most interesting case is of a63-year-old Assistant Sub-Inspector who was sentencedto three-year imprisonmentin March 2009 for kidnap-ping a youth in 1998 He hasnot been jailed ever and is onbail since then As per the
government recommenda-tion he should be releaseddue to old-age problems andpoor financial condition
An ex-DSP sentenced tothree-year term in March2013 for kidnapping hasspent just one month in jailThe 69-year-old hasremained on bail The gov-
ernment recommendationsays he is suffering fromage-related health problems
Another case is of a retiredInspector who was convictedin December 2016 and sen-tenced to seven-year rigor-ous imprisonment for crimi-nal conspiracy inkidnapping and disappear-ance of a youth in October1992 He has remained in jailfor two months and fourdays only He is presently onbail The government recom-mended the release of 68-year-old cop due to poorfinancial condition
Similar is the case of anex-DSP sentenced to sev-en-year term He hasremained in jail for five
months only Two Inspec-tors convicted together forlife in a November 1992case have been recom-mended for release afterspending five and tenmonths respectively Thegovernment reasoned thatone of them aged 75 wassuffering from cancer (finalstage) while the other aged73 had a heart ailment
Officials of the state JailsPolice and the HomeDepartment which handledthe remission applicationsat different levels refused tocomment on the subject
Jails Minister SukhjinderSingh Randhawa said hewas not aware of the detailsof the cases

WHEN Durga Puja wascelebrated in West Ben-gal this year KolkatarsquosKasba locality home to

how the Hindus were lsquodriven outrsquo indroves from across the eastern bordermdash the Assam exercise left out a largenumber of Bengali-speaking Hindusfrom the final NRC Almost as many asthe Muslims The BJP wanted to deportthe Muslim lsquoinfiltratorsrsquo and grant cit-izenship rights to the lsquorefugeesrsquo unlikeits periodic ally the Asom GanaParishad that refused to recognisesuch a distinction What happened tothe BJPrsquos age-old belief
The spectre of a homegrown crisisakin to the predicament of MyanmarrsquosRohingya haunted the hunted ofAssam and possibly West Bengal Mus-lims and Hindus The amended lawrequired that both parents of thoseborn on or after December 4 2004must be Indian citizens The amend-ment overturned the principle of jussoli adopted by the Motilal Nehru Com-mittee in 1928 to confer citizenshipbased on onersquos birthplace The conceptof jus sanguinis or right of blood thatgoverned the amendment stipulatedthat an lsquounlawfulrsquo migrant cannotclaim citizenship by naturalisation orregistration even if he or she resided inIndia for the required seven years
As Shah vowed to bring NRC in WestBengal CM Mamata Banerjee claimed
that Assam would not be repeated inher state Her rationale was that theNRC project in Assam was an outcomeof the accord signed in 1985 betweenthe Centre and the spearheads of theAll Assam Students Union while WestBengal was not dictated to by any suchpact With the emergence of the BJP asher principal opponent and herself fire-fighting allegations of corruption andbad law and order in her backyardMamata seized upon NRC threat as ananti-Bengali issue and alleged that itwas a ploy to evict Bengali-speakingresidents of Assam and jeopardise thepeople of her state Implicit in her argu-ment was the point that by lsquotargetingrsquoBengalis the BJP was going back to itsnorthern roots Indeed BJP insiders inWest Bengal were afraid that NRCmight overshadow the other issuesthey had raised against Mamata
The electoral implications of Shahrsquospitch were not lost on the West BengalBJP Even if the party was unconcernedabout the votes of the minorities it hadother ethnic groups to worry about In2019 the BJP had won over the Matuathe second largest Dalit grouping bywooing its influencers The Matua wereoriginally from Bangladesh Somecame to West Bengal immediately afterPartition while others after 1971 TheMatua votes count in nearly 40 of the295 Assembly seats The Matua settlersalso feared their future
To assuage the apprehensions Shahmdash who rarely if ever diluted his stancesmdash repeatedly stated that Hindus had noreason to be afraid because the Centrewould reintroduce the CitizenshipAmendment (2014) Bill and ensure itspassage If that is accomplished theminorities (Hindu Sikh Buddhist Jainand Christian) who migrated unlawful-ly from Bangladesh Pakistan andAfghanistan can continue living here

Handholding have-notsNobel to Banerjee colleagues can spur fight against poverty
POVERTY alleviation might be a mere slogan in politics convenient-ly used during the elections to woo underprivileged voters but itrsquosa perennial challenge in development economics that has to be con-
fronted with sustained and sincere efforts The Nobel Prize to US-basedeconomists Abhijit Banerjee Esther Duflo and Michael Kremer is well-deserved recognition of their role in fighting poverty that has lsquohelpedmillions of children by favouring practical steps over theoryrsquo The hon-our is expected to give a fillip to the global battle against deprivation anddestitution According to the United Nationsrsquo estimates global povertyhas been reduced by more than half since 2000 yet 10 per cent of the peo-ple in developing regions still live on less than $19 (around Rs 136) a day
Banerjee and Duflo are founder-directors of the Abdul Latif JameelPoverty Action Lab (J-PAL) a worldwide network of researchers thatconducts studies as well as field experiments Their team has pio-neered randomised controlled trials (RCTs) in economics used sincelong in the field of medicine to examine the impact of treatment onone group of people while another group is given just a placebo Theystudied remedial tutoring programmes in schools of Mumbai andVadodara and brought in new teaching assistants who would help chil-dren with special needs On the basis of their experiments they con-cluded that providing more textbooks and free meals on the campushad only minor effect while targeted help for weak students made ahuge difference to overall educational levels Itrsquos true that such microinterventions can never give us the macroeconomic view but theirtransformative influence canrsquot be underestimated
India-born Banerjee has been critical of the Centrersquos economic deci-sions mdash he called demonetisation a weird move mdash but his straight talkshould not discourage the Modi government from utilising his invaluableexperience to undertake reforms in education and healthcare Former UNSecretary-General Kofi Annan once said lsquoThe biggest enemy of healthin the developing world is povertyrsquo India needs the best minds to tacklethe hydra-headed problem that is impeding growth and amplifying socialinequality lsquoGaribi hataorsquo should not remain a poll promise
Air quality concernsNo easy solution to farm fires in Punjab Haryana
THE burning of crop stubble is a problem that comes back to hauntPunjab and Haryana every year The bearing it has on pollution lev-els in Delhi has made the Supreme Court seek a status report from
the Ministry of Environment on the recommendations of a task force toprevent straw burning On Sunday night the air quality in Delhi was cat-egorised as lsquovery poorrsquo While the AAP government there prepares toimplement the odd-even scheme from November 4 to 15 what is worryingis that the problem has started early This is mainly because the sowing ofpaddy began early this year on June 13 leading to early harvesting andthe resultant early burning of crop residue Also there is a narrow timeperiod for clearing the field of the straw so that wheat can be sown mdash aboutthree weeks mdash and farmers prefer the easy way out mdash of burning the stub-ble despite deterrents like fines lodging of criminal cases and seizure ofland records Employing manpower to remove the stubble is difficultbecause with the growing mechanisation of agriculture and implementa-tion of schemes like MGNREGA migration of work force to the northernstates has reduced Also implements to clear the straw come at a cost
The NGT had in 2015 made burning of crop residue a crime But thereis no easy solution Farmers demand cash subsidy to plough stubble backinto the fields or use mechanised means to lift it and also believe that push-ing the residue back into the soil may increase chances of a pest attack
The paddy-wheat cycle is an offshoot of the Green Revolution thatchanged the prevalent cropping pattern of maize millet pulses andoilseeds The MSP encouraged paddy cultivation increasing the areaunder it The ICAR and agricultural universities promote awarenesscampaigns setting up centres for hiring implements to manage cropresidue and using alternatives like extraction of bio-fuel from straw Butwith farmers forming a potent political pressure group governmentsare wary of tackling the problem
The polarising exercise may do BJP more harm than good

THE award of the 2019 NobelPrize in Economics to AbhijitBanerjee and Esther Duflo ofthe Massachusetts Institute
of Technology (MIT) and Michael Kre-mer of Harvard University deservesnot only to be celebrated but also crit-ically reflected upon
Duflo is only the second woman econ-omist to win this prize since it was insti-tuted in 1969 The first was ElinorOstrom for her analysis of economicgovernance especially relating to lsquocom-monrsquo ecological resources thus raisingthe status of ecological economics Duflo(46) is also the youngest-ever winner ofthis prize along with being the onlywoman among this yearrsquos 16 NobelPrize winners Gender bias remains anold problem of this prize The most cele-brated woman economist of all timesJoan Robinson of Cambridge Universi-ty was never given this prize due to ide-ological reasons though her work onimperfect competition has been pio-neering in breaking the assumptions ofperfectly competitive markets
It has been my experience on teachingdevelopment economics that whenever Itaught the topic of gender bias in eco-nomic theory and policy the women stu-dents have loved it and have felt inspiredwhile most not all men students feeluncomfortable about being told thateven the central concept of macro-eco-nomics ie gross domestic product(GDP) is gender-biased because it isbased on measuring marketable goodsand services and consequently ignoreswomenrsquos work in the household
Abhijit Banerjee Duflorsquos husband andPhD supervisor is a former student ofJawaharlal Nehru University The facul-ty and students of this university have
been under vicious attack for manyyears from the government of their owncountry One hopes that this prize willmake those who govern higher educa-tion in India feel proud of this universi-ty and value its academic resources mdashthe faculty and the students
The prize honours the field of develop-ment economics and draws attention tothe global challenge of reducing povertywhich continues to damage the lives ofmillions Globally more than 700 millionpeople live in extreme poverty even ifone accepts the questionable World Bankdefinition of poverty as living on lessthan $190 per day Many millions livejust marginally above this poverty lineand are categorised as lsquovulnerable poorrsquoOne in three children is malnourishedand most children in the developing
world leave school without basic skills inreading writing and mathematics
Banerjee and Duflo have done work onIndia and Kremer on Africa especiallyKenya This prize will open more doorsfor their work but it is also going to opento much sharper scrutiny than it has beensubjected to so far I read their book PoorEconomics A radical rethinking of theway to fight global poverty soon after itcame out I was impressed by their stylebut unconvinced by their argument
The most serious criticism from amethodological point of view is that theirapproach individualises poverty and theroute out of poverty Since their ran-domised controlled trials (RCTs) methodis borrowed from clinical medicine onecan take the example from that field toexplain the problem with this method A
doctor can individualise an illness (sayobesity) prescribe some medicine whichcan provide temporary relief to thepatient important in itself but if that ill-ness (obesity) is widespread it will show aserious weakness of the medical profes-sion if it were not to look into the generalconditions of society that lead to obesitynamely the pattern of food consumptionthe nature of work and employment andthe marketing of food products etc As wecannot throw the entire blame for obesi-ty on to an obese person it is intellectual-ly and morally flawed to blame a poor per-son for hisher poverty
The RCT method believes that theproblem a poor person faces involvessmall modifications (called lsquointerven-tionsrsquo) in the existing methods of hisherdealing with the problem and the ques-
tion is merely of testing which smallmodifications will eventfully work Themethod therefore celebrates lsquowhatworksrsquo and gives the false impression ofbeing very practical and not theoretical
A still higher order of methodologicalproblem emerges when a suggestedintervention is lsquoscaled uprsquo ie gener-alised without considering different con-texts The macro dimensions of povertyie structure of property relations thepattern of income distribution theunequal bargaining powers betweenemployers and employees the nature ofpatriarchal relations the hierarchy ofcaste relations and identity issues ofmajority-minority are just brushed asideas lsquoconfoundingrsquo variables
The other serious methodological flawof the RCT approach that has beenpointed out by ethnographic studies ofpoverty is that its overemphasis onquantitative method has deprived it ofthe insights of qualitative methodsThere is some recognition of this flaw byadmitting that mixed method approachcan be useful but the approach remainsintrinsically hostile to qualitative meth-ods The econometricians have attackedthe RCT approach from the oppositeangle ie identification problem inselecting the samples for testing theeffectiveness of chosen interventionsMoral philosophers have raised ques-tions of ethics in choosing the poorestThird World people for experimentation
The reason this approach is popularwith politicians aid agencies and globalpolicy-makers is that they want to seequick results of their specific interven-tions rather than troubling themselveswith the structural causes of poverty andthe transformational changes requiredto deal with mass poverty

A serious methodologicalflaw of the RCT approachthat has been pointed outby ethnographic studies
of poverty is that itsoveremphasis on
quantitative method hasdeprived it of the insights ofqualitative methods Thereis some recognition of the
flaw by admitting that amixed method approach
can be useful but theapproach remains hostile
to qualitative methods
VULNERABLE POOR Transformational change is required to deal with mass poverty
A BHIJIT Banerjee and fellowBengali Amartya Sen bothNobel laureates in Econom-ics live in the US but their
focus of attention is India where theyreturn for their studies from time totime Banerjee is a professor at Massa-chusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)along with his Paris-born wife EstherDuflo The third Nobel laureate is ProfMichael Kremer who teaches at theneighbouring Harvard University TheRoyal Swedish Academy of Sciencessaid that they were awarded theSveriges Riksbank prize in EconomicSciences in memory of Alfred Nobelfor research findings that have lsquodra-matically improved our ability tofight poverty in practicersquo
The fact that development economicshas taken centre stage before the NobelPrize committee shows that despite all theesoteric new branches of economicsimproving human condition and alleviat-ing poverty remain most important today
Though poverty in the world haddeclined over the years there were 14billion poor in 2005 as per the WorldBank Out of the worldrsquos poor around267 million are in India That is whyBanerjee and Duflo have spent long peri-ods of time in India trying out theirgrassroots level experiments to find thereal causes behind poverty
Development economics for decadeswas based on theory and macroeconom-ic modelling From WW Rostowrsquos theoryof lsquoTake offrsquo to Hirschmanrsquos theory ofbalanced and unbalanced growth devel-opment theory meant prescriptions for abig top-down change in the underdevel-oped economies Banerjee and Duflohave chosen a different path to tacklepoverty by making the poor and their
decision-making vital to the develop-ment process They have gone moredeeply into finding out the nature andcauses of poverty by undertaking a seriesof field experiments to measure crediblywhat sort of policies can make a differ-ence to poverty and related outcomes
Twenty years ago there was a lot ofemphasis on economic theory and moremacroeconomic questions on develop-ment were asked The two Nobel Prizewinners have broken these big questionsof development and studied them likescientists running clinical trials
For example they found that therewere teaching methods in India thatwere insufficiently shaped by the needs
of students Tutoring the low performingpupils improved their achievement last-ingly More than five million childrenhave benefited from effective remedialtutoring during their studies because thepoor may have books but they are unableto learn from them They have also man-aged to inspire state governments to gofor more public investment in preventivehealthcare The Nobel Committee high-lighted how their lsquoexperiment-basedapproachrsquo has transformed develop-ment economics of the past
Thus Banerjee and Duflo have beenmore concerned with measuring whathappens in the real world at the very bot-tom level than sophisticated theoretical
modelling But their experiments aredeeply anchored in theory and they seethe poor as autonomous decision-makerswho are constrained by institutionalinformational monetary and logisticlimitations from doing what couldimprove their condition The Banerjee-Duflo team seeks to learn how the eco-nomic policy of a country can relievethese constraints They have shown thatthere is a need to adopt new approachesin the fight against poverty that arebased on field trials rather than the failedmethods of the past
The use of randomised controlled trials(RCT) to simulate laboratory experi-ments in real-life settings draws on prac-tices from medicine agronomics andsocial sciences RCT intends to breakbigger policy interventions into smallereasier-to-test studies They break issuesinto smaller questions and search for evi-dence about which interventions work toresolve them and seek practical ways tobring these treatments to scale
The essence of their book Poor Eco-nomics can be summed up by their ownsentence in the foreword ldquoWe have toabandon the habit of reducing the poorto cartoon characters and take the timeto really understand their lives in alltheir complexity and richnessrdquo Thebook describes and analyses the choicesthat people living on less than $2 a daymake in India These choices make a lotof sense in reality For instance it iscommon for the poor families to investtheir entire education budget in just onechild usually a son hoping that thischild will make it through secondaryschool and even college
They do not pay as much attention toother children because they think itwould be a waste of resources to spread
the familyrsquos educational budget amongall the children rather than making surethat at least one child reaches his goalBut helping parents understand the val-ue of education is important and has abig impact on running of schools in vil-lages as it can change their educationalchoices Recognising their contributionthe Nobel academy said ldquoTheir experi-mental research methods now entirelydominate development economicsrdquo
The poorrsquos decision-making is thusimportant for solving the malaise ofpoverty as Duflo said recently ldquoPoor peo-ple are supposed to be either completelystupid desperate lazy or entrepreneur-ial But we donrsquot try to understand thedeep root interconnected root of theproblem So what we try to do in ourwork is unpack the problem one by oneto better understand the reason for par-ticular problems What works what does-nrsquot work and whyrdquo
More recently Banerjee advised RahulGandhi on the Nyuntam Aay Yojana(NYAY) scheme for which he suggestedthat the poor should be given Rs 2500 amonth instead of Rs 6000
One common critique of Banerjee andDuflorsquos work is that they donrsquot appreci-ate how hard it is to change the policyand implement the kind of changes thattheir insights into the lives of the poorsuggest They do believe that bigchanges do not work and that the pathforward is not better lsquobig thinkingrsquo butthinking small Improving the lives ofthe poor is primarily a matter of makinga series of small changes in lots of differ-ent domains changes that dont requiremajor political battles or dramaticallychanging the financing structures Thetwo Nobel laureates are thus essentiallyand radically lsquosmall thinkersrsquo
Banerjee and Duflo havechosen a different path totackle poverty by making
the poor and their decision-making vital to thedevelopment process Theyhave gone more deeply intofinding out the nature and
causes of poverty byundertaking a series of field
experiments to measurecredibly what sort of policies can make a
difference to poverty

Jammu October 15Notwithstanding tall claimsof the Governorrsquos adminis-tration political activity inJammu and Kashmir hasvirtually come to a stand-still as security of all Oppo-sition leaders has beenwithdrawn thus forcingthem to confine themselvesto their homes
Not only the security ofOpposition leaders hasbeen withdrawn the gov-
ernment vehicles providedto them were also takenback by the authorities con-cerned without any notice
Sources said the securi-ty and vehicles providedto National Conference(NC) Peoples DemocraticParty (PDP) Congressand Panthers Party werewithdrawn so as to renderthem politically inactiveInterestingly the sameyardstick was not adopt-ed for ex-BJP ministersand MLAs who are enjoy-
ing all government privi-leges like sitting minis-ters and MLAs
After the snapping of
PDP-BJP alliance inJune 2018 and dissolu-tion of Assembly inNovember 2018 ex-min-isters and MLAs wereasked to vacate their offi-cial bungalows
While security of all ex-ministers and MLAs wasdowngraded within notime security of BJP lead-ers was further strength-ened ldquoBiased attitude ofthe authorities has sub-stantiated our allegationsthat administration in
JampK is just a pawn in thehands of the BJP leader-shiprdquo alleged RavinderSharma chief spokesmanof Pradesh Congress Com-mittee (PCC)
ldquoWhy different yardsticksfor different partiesrdquoasked Sharma ldquoWhat tosay of province-level lead-ers security of even thePCC chief has been with-drawn and he was forced toleave government accom-modationrdquo he said
Panthers Party chairman
Harsh Dev Singh saidJampK was heading towardsone-party rule as no otherpolitical party except theBJP was being allowed toconduct its activities
ldquoAmid politics of coercionintimidation detentionsand persecution democra-cy is gasping for breath inthe state Not only the polit-ical parties are scared of thedictatorial regime even thepeople also seem reluctantto express their feelings forthe fear of reprisalrdquo he said

unrest and incite violenceWhile several government

However already reelingunder slowdown and creditcrunch the MSMEs feel itwill affect block their work-ing capital and enhancecompliance burden
Input credit means at thetime of paying tax on out-put the seller can reducethe tax which he hasalready paid on inputs Forinstance if tax payable on
output is Rs 1000 and taxpaid on input (purchases)is Rs 800 the manufactur-er can claim input credit ofRs 800 and need to depositRs 200 in taxes
According to the notifica-tion ITC to be availed by aregistered person in respectof invoices or debit notesthe details of which havenot been uploaded by thesuppliers under sub-section(1) of Section 37 shall notexceed 20 of the eligiblecredit available in respect ofinvoices or debit notes thedetails of which have beenuploaded by the suppliers[in Form GSTR-1]
ldquoThe cap of 20 shall beAct wise and not accumulat-ed input tax credit Thismeans that the taxpayer hasto work out 20 for CGST
SGST and IGST separatelyIn case the vendor haswrongly entered the placeof supply and has paid taxesunder wrong head therecipient shall not be able toclaim the ITC till it is recti-fied by the correspondingvendorrdquo said Keshav RGarg a tax consultant
The northern region isthe hub of MSMEs withnearly three lakh unitsacross Punjab HaryanaChandigarh HP and JampK
ldquoPreviously companieswere allowed to self-assesstheir ITC claims on thebasis of invoice copy with-out any such restrictions asnotified recently Now evenin case of slight mismatchthe ITC will be upheld andaffect buyer-seller relation-ship besides blocking pre-
cious working capitalrdquo saidBadish Jindal presidentFederation of Punjab SmallIndustries Association
Industrialists rued that theMSMEs were already facinghurdles in claiming ITC andwith this new notificationthey would have to go extramile to ensure that vendorsupload their invoices so thatthey can claim the taxamount paid on inputs orpurchases The GSTR-2A isa purchase-related taxreturn that is automaticallygenerated for each businessby the GST portal when aseller files his GSTR-1 ldquoSothe amendment may bringan incumbent task of regu-larly matching ITC details oftaxpayers with those appear-ing in his GSTR-2A returnrdquosaid another tax consultant

NewDelhi October 15The Boxing Federation ofIndia (BFI) has once againtweaked its selection policyfor the womenrsquos team Nowall the medal winners fromthe World Championshipswill get automatically select-ed for the AsiaOceaniaOlympics qualifier sched-uled to be held in WuhanChina in February 2020
The decision will benefitboth Mary Kom (51kg) andLovlina Borghoin (69kg)who won bronze medals atthe recently-concludedWorld Championships inUlan-Ude Russia
In its earlier communica-tion to the boxers and coach-es BFI had said that thosemaking the cut for the finalsof the World Championshipswill earn direct selection forthe Olympics qualifier Theothers were supposed to gothrough a trial process
Strangely BFI had a differ-ent take for its men boxersFor them winning bronze atthe Worlds would have beenenough to earn a direct shotat the qualifiers It is under-stood that the decision wastaken as the BFI top brassdeemed the womenrsquos compe-tition relatively easier com-pared to the menrsquos
However today BFI presi-dent Ajay Singh said thatthere cannot be differentselection criteria for boththe teams ldquoThe men andwomen will have the sameselection criteria I will makeit official soonrdquo Singh toldThe Tribune on the sidelinesof a felicitation ceremony tohonour the womenrsquos teamthat won four medals
Nikhat left high and dryThe decision means thatNikhat Zareen will not get ashot to clinch a spot for the
first qualifier BFI had con-troversially stopped Nikhatfrom challenging Mary inthe 51kg category afterdeciding not to hold the tri-al despite taking out thedraws in August BFI tookthis arbitrary decision afterMary threatened to notappear in the trial
Todayrsquos decision which isyet to be communicated tothe BFI executive will onceagain leave both Nikhat andVanlal Duati high and dry
Singh explained that thisu-turn came about becauseof the realisation that medalwinners would have wonautomatic qualification forthe 2020 Tokyo Olympicshad it not been for the sus-pension of the internationalboxing association (AIBA) bythe International OlympicCommittee (IOC) ldquoI am clearin my mind but I will have tohave a meeting with my BFIcolleagues about this issueBut my personal opinion isthat whoever has won amedal at the World Champi-onships should automatical-ly take part in the qualifiersrdquoSingh said
Mary surprisedThe decision came as a sur-prise to Mary ldquoI am veryhappy and I am thankfulthat he (president) took thisdecision It also reflectsthat he has belief in myabilitiesrdquo she said
However the federationhas not decided on whathappens if Mary or Lovlinafail to earn qualifications inWuhan A top official saidthat they will take a finaldecision about selection forthe second Olympics quali-fier scheduled to be held inParis in May 2020
ldquoIdeally if she (Mary) does-nrsquot earn qualification thenwe should give a chance toothersrdquo said a BFI official

He however insisted thathis son Rajneet had nothingto do with the day-to-dayadministration of the bankldquoThe day-to-day administra-tion of the bank was handledby Managing Director JoyThomas and other bankemployeesrdquo says Singh
Prominent leaders of theSikh community who havebeen meeting in Mumbaiever since the ReserveBank of India announcedrestrictions on money with-drawal by depositors lastmonth have been dis-cussing various measures tohelp rescue the bank

lecting information from thedepositors and we will file apetition in the High Courtrdquosays Raghubir Singh Gillpresident Guru Singh Sabha

Dera Baba Nanak October 15After weeks of confusionclarity has finally emerged onthe subject of passport andvisa for pilgrims desirous ofvisiting Kartarpur throughthe corridor with governmentofficials stating that a pass-port will definitely be neededbut it will not be stampedwith Pakistani visas
This decision was keenlyawaited because it is com-mon knowledge that if a per-sonrsquos passport has a Pak-istani visa his or her visaapplication to the US Aus-tralia and European coun-tries is compromised
Cabinet Minister Sukhjin-der Singh Randhawa whovisited the site today said thePakistan government hadrecently conveyed this deci-sion to Indian officials
ldquoThis was confirmed byAjay Bhalla Union Home Sec-retary after a meeting heldwith him and other Centralofficials at the zero-line yester-day A passport will be neededjust for identification purpos-es There was a lot of uncer-tainty on this issue becauseunder normal circumstancesa person travelling to Pakistanby air sea or road needs to
have a visa stamped from thePakistan High Commission inNew Delhi However if any-body wants to use the corridorhe will not be requiring avisardquo said Randhawa
CM Capt Amarinder Singhhas been a strong votary of thecorridor being both passportand visa-free He had also tak-en up the issue with the minis-ters concerned in Delhi butmet with partial successbecause the government stillinsists upon having a passport
Randhawa said to ensure alevel-playing field the Centrewas mulling over a proposalto allow a pilgrim to cross overnot more than one time a year
ldquoRepeated visits by thosewho can financially afford togo will mar the chances ofother devotees Such a ruleshould be put in place at leastfor the first year of the corri-dorrsquos inceptionrdquo he said
Meanwhile the CM dis-patched PWD Minister VijayInder Singla to the corridor sitetoday ldquoAll four roads leading tothe ICP are being recarpetedand widened The governmenthas already sanctioned grantsThe passages which are beingstrengthened are the onesleading to Dera Baba Nanakfrom Fatehgarh ChurianRamdas Batala and Gur-daspurrdquo said Singla

In less than two minuteshe wound up with ldquoJaiBheem Jai Bharatrdquo sloganNot mingling with villagers
or stopping for chit-chat heheaded to the next villageThis way he intends to cov-er all 91 villages of his con-stituency in the remainingfive days of campaign
Like Bagha Congresscandidate Balwinder SinghDhaliwal too is a fresher inpolitics An ex-bureaucrathe has retained his shirt-trouser attire His meet-ings at Palahi and Wahidvillages were held in anorganised manner undertents Rather than anysalutation he addressedthe gathering making surethat he read names of allprominent people partici-pating in the rally Thoughhe too is somewhat stone-faced his speeches are lit-tle longer wherein he callshimself a local and refers tothe days when he served asan SDM in the town
Attacking his BJP rivalcalling him an outsiderfrom Jalandhar he remind-ed everyone that his partystill had 25-year term in thestate and they should bankupon him for getting allpending works done
While Bagha is bankingupon Som Parkash Dhaliw-
al is relying on IndustriesMinister Sunder Sham Aro-ra for campaigning Arorahas been camping in Phag-wara since the electionswere announced
The campaign is alsobeing seen as a more of acontest between SomParkash and Arora
Caste equationsOf the five main candidatesthose of the BJP BSP AamAadmi Party and Lok InsaafParty are from the domi-nant Ravidassia communi-ty (38 pc) and hence thevotes in this community areset to split The Congresscandidate is a Mazhbi Sikh
and the community has justabout 9000 voters TheBSPrsquos repeated attempt torake up the issue of demoli-tion of Guru Ravidass Tem-ple in Tughlaqabad too canhit the Congress
The villages have a mixedSikh and Dalit populationwhile the city is largely
dominated by the HindusThe BJP believes that it hasthe support of Hindu votersand has been remindingthem of the abrogation ofArticle 370 in JampK TheCongress too has specifical-ly chosen minister SunderSham Arora to consolidateHindu votebank in itsfavour The defection of fiveMC councillors (who wereex-MoS Vijay Samplarsquos loy-alists) to the Congress toomay give an additional edgeto the party in urban areas

SENIOR JOURNALIST
WHEN Durga Puja wascelebrated in West Ben-gal this year KolkatarsquosKasba locality home to
residents who had endured a statelesslife on being forced out of East Bengal(now Bangladesh) after Partition thepandal used the National Register ofCitizens (NRC) as its theme The miseen scene depicted the struggles wagedby people in piecing together theirlives decades later when they mighthave to lsquoproversquo they are card-carryingIndian citizens failing which they willbe stateless and homeless again A fig-ureless throne placed at the centre ofthe stage fixed on to a globe and out-fitted with a crown and guns symbol-ised state power and coercion
Ironically the NRC shadow loomedover Durga Puja just when the BJPhoped to use the festival as a means ofreaching out to its supporters andexpand its base Amit Shah the HomeMinister and BJP president was invit-ed to inaugurate the community jam-boree in several places although even-tually he confined himself to launchingone Identifying and assimilating itsworld view with the statersquos religiousand social culture was a consideredpart of the BJPrsquos blueprint in WestBengal that was largely unmappedterritory until the 2019 Lok Sabha elec-tion breakthrough came about It wasimportant for the BJP to shake off thetag of a North Indian party confined toKolkatarsquos Hindi-speaking Burrabazar
Initially under the influence of thecoreNorth Indian constituency the tac-tic faltered a little The BJP introducedRam Navami as a pan-Indian festival inWest Bengal but that left no imprint ona region that embraced eclectic forms ofHinduism implanted in the lives andteachings of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu
and Ramakrishna Paramhans Modiand Shah figured out that it was impor-tant to connect with provincial symbolsand icons to enlarge the BJPrsquos reachTherefore the Union Culture Ministrywas directed to mount a permanentexhibit at Kolkatarsquos National Libraryrepresenting Bankim Chandra Chat-topadhyay Tagore Syama PrasadMukherjee and Subhas Chandra BoseOn the ground the endeavour to prop-agate Ram and Hanuman as lsquonational-istrsquo icons continued with vigour so thatwhen it was time for the Lok Sabhapolls large sections of even Bengali-speaking Hindus who traditionallyworshipped Durga Kali and Saraswatiadopted these gods in their iconogra-phy The BJP took care to fuse the reli-gious with the political Ram was vener-ated as an image of desh bhakti ofnationalism because in the partyrsquosreckoning West Bengal had to tran-scend its identity politics and fuse intothe lsquonational mainstreamrsquo
The NRC fiasco in Assam threatenedto obstruct the BJPrsquos long-term plansRather than proceed along the contoursit laid out for decades mdash segregating thelsquoinfiltratorsrsquo from the lsquorefugeesrsquo ofBangladesh and underscoring theirreligious identities while harping on
how the Hindus were lsquodriven outrsquo indroves from across the eastern bordermdash the Assam exercise left out a largenumber of Bengali-speaking Hindusfrom the final NRC Almost as many asthe Muslims The BJP wanted to deportthe Muslim lsquoinfiltratorsrsquo and grant cit-izenship rights to the lsquorefugeesrsquo unlikeits periodic ally the Asom GanaParishad that refused to recognisesuch a distinction What happened tothe BJPrsquos age-old belief
The spectre of a homegrown crisisakin to the predicament of MyanmarrsquosRohingya haunted the hunted ofAssam and possibly West Bengal Mus-lims and Hindus The amended lawrequired that both parents of thoseborn on or after December 4 2004must be Indian citizens The amend-ment overturned the principle of jussoli adopted by the Motilal Nehru Com-mittee in 1928 to confer citizenshipbased on onersquos birthplace The conceptof jus sanguinis or right of blood thatgoverned the amendment stipulatedthat an lsquounlawfulrsquo migrant cannotclaim citizenship by naturalisation orregistration even if he or she resided inIndia for the required seven years
As Shah vowed to bring NRC in WestBengal CM Mamata Banerjee claimed
that Assam would not be repeated inher state Her rationale was that theNRC project in Assam was an outcomeof the accord signed in 1985 betweenthe Centre and the spearheads of theAll Assam Students Union while WestBengal was not dictated to by any suchpact With the emergence of the BJP asher principal opponent and herself fire-fighting allegations of corruption andbad law and order in her backyardMamata seized upon NRC threat as ananti-Bengali issue and alleged that itwas a ploy to evict Bengali-speakingresidents of Assam and jeopardise thepeople of her state Implicit in her argu-ment was the point that by lsquotargetingrsquoBengalis the BJP was going back to itsnorthern roots Indeed BJP insiders inWest Bengal were afraid that NRCmight overshadow the other issuesthey had raised against Mamata
The electoral implications of Shahrsquospitch were not lost on the West BengalBJP Even if the party was unconcernedabout the votes of the minorities it hadother ethnic groups to worry about In2019 the BJP had won over the Matuathe second largest Dalit grouping bywooing its influencers The Matua wereoriginally from Bangladesh Somecame to West Bengal immediately afterPartition while others after 1971 TheMatua votes count in nearly 40 of the295 Assembly seats The Matua settlersalso feared their future
To assuage the apprehensions Shahmdash who rarely if ever diluted his stancesmdash repeatedly stated that Hindus had noreason to be afraid because the Centrewould reintroduce the CitizenshipAmendment (2014) Bill and ensure itspassage If that is accomplished theminorities (Hindu Sikh Buddhist Jainand Christian) who migrated unlawful-ly from Bangladesh Pakistan andAfghanistan can continue living here
NRC does not reverberate only inthe districts bordering BangladeshAfter nearly one lakh persons fromthe Gorkha ethnic group weredropped from Assamrsquos citizenshipregister West Bengalrsquos Gorkhasfeared a similar fate In the end NRCwas less about faith and more aboutthe loss of human dignity and keep-ing body and soul together

Handholding have-notsNobel to Banerjee colleagues can spur fight against poverty
POVERTY alleviation might be a mere slogan in politics convenient-ly used during the elections to woo underprivileged voters but itrsquosa perennial challenge in development economics that has to be con-
fronted with sustained and sincere efforts The Nobel Prize to US-basedeconomists Abhijit Banerjee Esther Duflo and Michael Kremer is well-deserved recognition of their role in fighting poverty that has lsquohelpedmillions of children by favouring practical steps over theoryrsquo The hon-our is expected to give a fillip to the global battle against deprivation anddestitution According to the United Nationsrsquo estimates global povertyhas been reduced by more than half since 2000 yet 10 per cent of the peo-ple in developing regions still live on less than $19 (around Rs 136) a day
Banerjee and Duflo are founder-directors of the Abdul Latif JameelPoverty Action Lab (J-PAL) a worldwide network of researchers thatconducts studies as well as field experiments Their team has pio-neered randomised controlled trials (RCTs) in economics used sincelong in the field of medicine to examine the impact of treatment onone group of people while another group is given just a placebo Theystudied remedial tutoring programmes in schools of Mumbai andVadodara and brought in new teaching assistants who would help chil-dren with special needs On the basis of their experiments they con-cluded that providing more textbooks and free meals on the campushad only minor effect while targeted help for weak students made ahuge difference to overall educational levels Itrsquos true that such microinterventions can never give us the macroeconomic view but theirtransformative influence canrsquot be underestimated
India-born Banerjee has been critical of the Centrersquos economic deci-sions mdash he called demonetisation a weird move mdash but his straight talkshould not discourage the Modi government from utilising his invaluableexperience to undertake reforms in education and healthcare Former UNSecretary-General Kofi Annan once said lsquoThe biggest enemy of healthin the developing world is povertyrsquo India needs the best minds to tacklethe hydra-headed problem that is impeding growth and amplifying socialinequality lsquoGaribi hataorsquo should not remain a poll promise

the Ministry of Environment on the recommendations of a task force toprevent straw burning On Sunday night the air quality in Delhi was cat-egorised as lsquovery poorrsquo While the AAP government there prepares toimplement the odd-even scheme from November 4 to 15 what is worryingis that the problem has started early This is mainly because the sowing ofpaddy began early this year on June 13 leading to early harvesting andthe resultant early burning of crop residue Also there is a narrow timeperiod for clearing the field of the straw so that wheat can be sown mdash aboutthree weeks mdash and farmers prefer the easy way out mdash of burning the stub-ble despite deterrents like fines lodging of criminal cases and seizure ofland records Employing manpower to remove the stubble is difficultbecause with the growing mechanisation of agriculture and implementa-tion of schemes like MGNREGA migration of work force to the northernstates has reduced Also implements to clear the straw come at a cost
The NGT had in 2015 made burning of crop residue a crime But thereis no easy solution Farmers demand cash subsidy to plough stubble backinto the fields or use mechanised means to lift it and also believe that push-ing the residue back into the soil may increase chances of a pest attack
The paddy-wheat cycle is an offshoot of the Green Revolution thatchanged the prevalent cropping pattern of maize millet pulses andoilseeds The MSP encouraged paddy cultivation increasing the areaunder it The ICAR and agricultural universities promote awarenesscampaigns setting up centres for hiring implements to manage cropresidue and using alternatives like extraction of bio-fuel from straw Butwith farmers forming a potent political pressure group governmentsare wary of tackling the problem
The polarising exercise may do BJP more harm than good

THE award of the 2019 NobelPrize in Economics to AbhijitBanerjee and Esther Duflo ofthe Massachusetts Institute
of Technology (MIT) and Michael Kre-mer of Harvard University deservesnot only to be celebrated but also crit-ically reflected upon
Duflo is only the second woman econ-omist to win this prize since it was insti-tuted in 1969 The first was ElinorOstrom for her analysis of economicgovernance especially relating to lsquocom-monrsquo ecological resources thus raisingthe status of ecological economics Duflo(46) is also the youngest-ever winner ofthis prize along with being the onlywoman among this yearrsquos 16 NobelPrize winners Gender bias remains anold problem of this prize The most cele-brated woman economist of all timesJoan Robinson of Cambridge Universi-ty was never given this prize due to ide-ological reasons though her work onimperfect competition has been pio-neering in breaking the assumptions ofperfectly competitive markets
It has been my experience on teachingdevelopment economics that whenever Itaught the topic of gender bias in eco-nomic theory and policy the women stu-dents have loved it and have felt inspiredwhile most not all men students feeluncomfortable about being told thateven the central concept of macro-eco-nomics ie gross domestic product(GDP) is gender-biased because it isbased on measuring marketable goodsand services and consequently ignoreswomenrsquos work in the household
Abhijit Banerjee Duflorsquos husband andPhD supervisor is a former student ofJawaharlal Nehru University The facul-ty and students of this university have
been under vicious attack for manyyears from the government of their owncountry One hopes that this prize willmake those who govern higher educa-tion in India feel proud of this universi-ty and value its academic resources mdashthe faculty and the students
The prize honours the field of develop-ment economics and draws attention tothe global challenge of reducing povertywhich continues to damage the lives ofmillions Globally more than 700 millionpeople live in extreme poverty even ifone accepts the questionable World Bankdefinition of poverty as living on lessthan $190 per day Many millions livejust marginally above this poverty lineand are categorised as lsquovulnerable poorrsquoOne in three children is malnourishedand most children in the developing
world leave school without basic skills inreading writing and mathematics
Banerjee and Duflo have done work onIndia and Kremer on Africa especiallyKenya This prize will open more doorsfor their work but it is also going to opento much sharper scrutiny than it has beensubjected to so far I read their book PoorEconomics A radical rethinking of theway to fight global poverty soon after itcame out I was impressed by their stylebut unconvinced by their argument
The most serious criticism from amethodological point of view is that theirapproach individualises poverty and theroute out of poverty Since their ran-domised controlled trials (RCTs) methodis borrowed from clinical medicine onecan take the example from that field toexplain the problem with this method A
doctor can individualise an illness (sayobesity) prescribe some medicine whichcan provide temporary relief to thepatient important in itself but if that ill-ness (obesity) is widespread it will show aserious weakness of the medical profes-sion if it were not to look into the generalconditions of society that lead to obesitynamely the pattern of food consumptionthe nature of work and employment andthe marketing of food products etc As wecannot throw the entire blame for obesi-ty on to an obese person it is intellectual-ly and morally flawed to blame a poor per-son for hisher poverty
The RCT method believes that theproblem a poor person faces involvessmall modifications (called lsquointerven-tionsrsquo) in the existing methods of hisherdealing with the problem and the ques-
tion is merely of testing which smallmodifications will eventfully work Themethod therefore celebrates lsquowhatworksrsquo and gives the false impression ofbeing very practical and not theoretical
A still higher order of methodologicalproblem emerges when a suggestedintervention is lsquoscaled uprsquo ie gener-alised without considering different con-texts The macro dimensions of povertyie structure of property relations thepattern of income distribution theunequal bargaining powers betweenemployers and employees the nature ofpatriarchal relations the hierarchy ofcaste relations and identity issues ofmajority-minority are just brushed asideas lsquoconfoundingrsquo variables
The other serious methodological flawof the RCT approach that has beenpointed out by ethnographic studies ofpoverty is that its overemphasis onquantitative method has deprived it ofthe insights of qualitative methodsThere is some recognition of this flaw byadmitting that mixed method approachcan be useful but the approach remainsintrinsically hostile to qualitative meth-ods The econometricians have attackedthe RCT approach from the oppositeangle ie identification problem inselecting the samples for testing theeffectiveness of chosen interventionsMoral philosophers have raised ques-tions of ethics in choosing the poorestThird World people for experimentation
The reason this approach is popularwith politicians aid agencies and globalpolicy-makers is that they want to seequick results of their specific interven-tions rather than troubling themselveswith the structural causes of poverty andthe transformational changes requiredto deal with mass poverty

A serious methodologicalflaw of the RCT approachthat has been pointed outby ethnographic studies
of poverty is that itsoveremphasis on
quantitative method hasdeprived it of the insights ofqualitative methods Thereis some recognition of the
flaw by admitting that amixed method approach
can be useful but theapproach remains hostile
to qualitative methods
VULNERABLE POOR Transformational change is required to deal with mass poverty
A BHIJIT Banerjee and fellowBengali Amartya Sen bothNobel laureates in Econom-ics live in the US but their
focus of attention is India where theyreturn for their studies from time totime Banerjee is a professor at Massa-chusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)along with his Paris-born wife EstherDuflo The third Nobel laureate is ProfMichael Kremer who teaches at theneighbouring Harvard University TheRoyal Swedish Academy of Sciencessaid that they were awarded theSveriges Riksbank prize in EconomicSciences in memory of Alfred Nobelfor research findings that have lsquodra-matically improved our ability tofight poverty in practicersquo
The fact that development economicshas taken centre stage before the NobelPrize committee shows that despite all theesoteric new branches of economicsimproving human condition and alleviat-ing poverty remain most important today
Though poverty in the world haddeclined over the years there were 14billion poor in 2005 as per the WorldBank Out of the worldrsquos poor around267 million are in India That is whyBanerjee and Duflo have spent long peri-ods of time in India trying out theirgrassroots level experiments to find thereal causes behind poverty
Development economics for decadeswas based on theory and macroeconom-ic modelling From WW Rostowrsquos theoryof lsquoTake offrsquo to Hirschmanrsquos theory ofbalanced and unbalanced growth devel-opment theory meant prescriptions for abig top-down change in the underdevel-oped economies Banerjee and Duflohave chosen a different path to tacklepoverty by making the poor and their
decision-making vital to the develop-ment process They have gone moredeeply into finding out the nature andcauses of poverty by undertaking a seriesof field experiments to measure crediblywhat sort of policies can make a differ-ence to poverty and related outcomes
Twenty years ago there was a lot ofemphasis on economic theory and moremacroeconomic questions on develop-ment were asked The two Nobel Prizewinners have broken these big questionsof development and studied them likescientists running clinical trials
For example they found that therewere teaching methods in India thatwere insufficiently shaped by the needs
of students Tutoring the low performingpupils improved their achievement last-ingly More than five million childrenhave benefited from effective remedialtutoring during their studies because thepoor may have books but they are unableto learn from them They have also man-aged to inspire state governments to gofor more public investment in preventivehealthcare The Nobel Committee high-lighted how their lsquoexperiment-basedapproachrsquo has transformed develop-ment economics of the past
Thus Banerjee and Duflo have beenmore concerned with measuring whathappens in the real world at the very bot-tom level than sophisticated theoretical
modelling But their experiments aredeeply anchored in theory and they seethe poor as autonomous decision-makerswho are constrained by institutionalinformational monetary and logisticlimitations from doing what couldimprove their condition The Banerjee-Duflo team seeks to learn how the eco-nomic policy of a country can relievethese constraints They have shown thatthere is a need to adopt new approachesin the fight against poverty that arebased on field trials rather than the failedmethods of the past
The use of randomised controlled trials(RCT) to simulate laboratory experi-ments in real-life settings draws on prac-tices from medicine agronomics andsocial sciences RCT intends to breakbigger policy interventions into smallereasier-to-test studies They break issuesinto smaller questions and search for evi-dence about which interventions work toresolve them and seek practical ways tobring these treatments to scale
The essence of their book Poor Eco-nomics can be summed up by their ownsentence in the foreword ldquoWe have toabandon the habit of reducing the poorto cartoon characters and take the timeto really understand their lives in alltheir complexity and richnessrdquo Thebook describes and analyses the choicesthat people living on less than $2 a daymake in India These choices make a lotof sense in reality For instance it iscommon for the poor families to investtheir entire education budget in just onechild usually a son hoping that thischild will make it through secondaryschool and even college
They do not pay as much attention toother children because they think itwould be a waste of resources to spread
the familyrsquos educational budget amongall the children rather than making surethat at least one child reaches his goalBut helping parents understand the val-ue of education is important and has abig impact on running of schools in vil-lages as it can change their educationalchoices Recognising their contributionthe Nobel academy said ldquoTheir experi-mental research methods now entirelydominate development economicsrdquo
The poorrsquos decision-making is thusimportant for solving the malaise ofpoverty as Duflo said recently ldquoPoor peo-ple are supposed to be either completelystupid desperate lazy or entrepreneur-ial But we donrsquot try to understand thedeep root interconnected root of theproblem So what we try to do in ourwork is unpack the problem one by oneto better understand the reason for par-ticular problems What works what does-nrsquot work and whyrdquo
More recently Banerjee advised RahulGandhi on the Nyuntam Aay Yojana(NYAY) scheme for which he suggestedthat the poor should be given Rs 2500 amonth instead of Rs 6000
One common critique of Banerjee andDuflorsquos work is that they donrsquot appreci-ate how hard it is to change the policyand implement the kind of changes thattheir insights into the lives of the poorsuggest They do believe that bigchanges do not work and that the pathforward is not better lsquobig thinkingrsquo butthinking small Improving the lives ofthe poor is primarily a matter of makinga series of small changes in lots of differ-ent domains changes that dont requiremajor political battles or dramaticallychanging the financing structures Thetwo Nobel laureates are thus essentiallyand radically lsquosmall thinkersrsquo
Banerjee and Duflo havechosen a different path totackle poverty by making
the poor and their decision-making vital to thedevelopment process Theyhave gone more deeply intofinding out the nature and
causes of poverty byundertaking a series of field
experiments to measurecredibly what sort of policies can make a
difference to poverty

Particulate matter 25stands for particulate mat-ter less than 25 microns indiameter Particles narrow-er than 10 micrometres aremost hazardous becausethey can get deep into thelungs and some may evenget into the bloodstream

Chandigarh October 15The Centrersquos recent notifica-tion restricting the input taxcredit (ITC) to 20 for anentity if its supplier has notuploaded relevant invoiceshas not gone well withMSMEs of the region Thegovernment has introducedthe new rule to keep a checkon fake ITC claims
However already reelingunder slowdown and creditcrunch the MSMEs feel itwill affect block their work-ing capital and enhancecompliance burden
Input credit means at thetime of paying tax on out-put the seller can reducethe tax which he hasalready paid on inputs Forinstance if tax payable on
output is Rs 1000 and taxpaid on input (purchases)is Rs 800 the manufactur-er can claim input credit ofRs 800 and need to depositRs 200 in taxes

ldquoThe cap of 20 shall beAct wise and not accumulat-ed input tax credit Thismeans that the taxpayer hasto work out 20 for CGST
SGST and IGST separatelyIn case the vendor haswrongly entered the placeof supply and has paid taxesunder wrong head therecipient shall not be able toclaim the ITC till it is recti-fied by the correspondingvendorrdquo said Keshav RGarg a tax consultant
The northern region isthe hub of MSMEs withnearly three lakh unitsacross Punjab HaryanaChandigarh HP and JampK

cious working capitalrdquo saidBadish Jindal presidentFederation of Punjab SmallIndustries Association
Industrialists rued that theMSMEs were already facinghurdles in claiming ITC andwith this new notificationthey would have to go extramile to ensure that vendorsupload their invoices so thatthey can claim the taxamount paid on inputs orpurchases The GSTR-2A isa purchase-related taxreturn that is automaticallygenerated for each businessby the GST portal when aseller files his GSTR-1 ldquoSothe amendment may bringan incumbent task of regu-larly matching ITC details oftaxpayers with those appear-ing in his GSTR-2A returnrdquosaid another tax consultant

NewDelhi October 15The Boxing Federation ofIndia (BFI) has once againtweaked its selection policyfor the womenrsquos team Nowall the medal winners fromthe World Championshipswill get automatically select-ed for the AsiaOceaniaOlympics qualifier sched-uled to be held in WuhanChina in February 2020
The decision will benefitboth Mary Kom (51kg) andLovlina Borghoin (69kg)who won bronze medals atthe recently-concludedWorld Championships inUlan-Ude Russia
In its earlier communica-tion to the boxers and coach-es BFI had said that thosemaking the cut for the finalsof the World Championshipswill earn direct selection forthe Olympics qualifier Theothers were supposed to gothrough a trial process
Strangely BFI had a differ-ent take for its men boxersFor them winning bronze atthe Worlds would have beenenough to earn a direct shotat the qualifiers It is under-stood that the decision wastaken as the BFI top brassdeemed the womenrsquos compe-tition relatively easier com-pared to the menrsquos
However today BFI presi-dent Ajay Singh said thatthere cannot be differentselection criteria for boththe teams ldquoThe men andwomen will have the sameselection criteria I will makeit official soonrdquo Singh toldThe Tribune on the sidelinesof a felicitation ceremony tohonour the womenrsquos teamthat won four medals
Nikhat left high and dryThe decision means thatNikhat Zareen will not get ashot to clinch a spot for the
first qualifier BFI had con-troversially stopped Nikhatfrom challenging Mary inthe 51kg category afterdeciding not to hold the tri-al despite taking out thedraws in August BFI tookthis arbitrary decision afterMary threatened to notappear in the trial
Todayrsquos decision which isyet to be communicated tothe BFI executive will onceagain leave both Nikhat andVanlal Duati high and dry
Singh explained that thisu-turn came about becauseof the realisation that medalwinners would have wonautomatic qualification forthe 2020 Tokyo Olympicshad it not been for the sus-pension of the internationalboxing association (AIBA) bythe International OlympicCommittee (IOC) ldquoI am clearin my mind but I will have tohave a meeting with my BFIcolleagues about this issueBut my personal opinion isthat whoever has won amedal at the World Champi-onships should automatical-ly take part in the qualifiersrdquoSingh said
Mary surprisedThe decision came as a sur-prise to Mary ldquoI am veryhappy and I am thankfulthat he (president) took thisdecision It also reflectsthat he has belief in myabilitiesrdquo she said
However the federationhas not decided on whathappens if Mary or Lovlinafail to earn qualifications inWuhan A top official saidthat they will take a finaldecision about selection forthe second Olympics quali-fier scheduled to be held inParis in May 2020
ldquoIdeally if she (Mary) does-nrsquot earn qualification thenwe should give a chance toothersrdquo said a BFI official

Chandigarh October 15For the Punjab Govern-ment a convicted cop whohas not spent even a singleday in jail or has been incar-cerated for even one monthin jail is eligible for pardonor special remission forimmediate release
Even poor financial condi-tion diseases like cancerand heart ailments besidesage-related health prob-lems have been cited as rea-sons for seeking remission
This has come up after aperusal of official docu-ments regarding names andcase details of 15 police-men convicted of offences
related to terrorism daysand whose cases were sentfor pardonremission to theUnion Home Ministry Sev-en of the cops have not evencompleted one year of theirsentence in jail They wereconvicted of offences dur-ing the terrorism erabetween 1980 and 1993
This is in a sharp contrastto the usual cases of crimi-nals or terrorists who havespent years in jails
Surprisingly one of thecops recommended forrelease was convicted lastyear only He is an 83-year-old former Inspector whowas given a life sentence inSeptember last year for kid-napping and murdering a
youth in 1992 He has spent11 months in jail so far
Most interesting case is of a63-year-old Assistant Sub-Inspector who was sentencedto three-year imprisonmentin March 2009 for kidnap-ping a youth in 1998 He hasnot been jailed ever and is onbail since then As per the
government recommenda-tion he should be releaseddue to old-age problems andpoor financial condition
An ex-DSP sentenced tothree-year term in March2013 for kidnapping hasspent just one month in jailThe 69-year-old hasremained on bail The gov-
ernment recommendationsays he is suffering fromage-related health problems
Another case is of a retiredInspector who was convictedin December 2016 and sen-tenced to seven-year rigor-ous imprisonment for crimi-nal conspiracy inkidnapping and disappear-ance of a youth in October1992 He has remained in jailfor two months and fourdays only He is presently onbail The government recom-mended the release of 68-year-old cop due to poorfinancial condition
Similar is the case of anex-DSP sentenced to sev-en-year term He hasremained in jail for five
months only Two Inspec-tors convicted together forlife in a November 1992case have been recom-mended for release afterspending five and tenmonths respectively Thegovernment reasoned thatone of them aged 75 wassuffering from cancer (finalstage) while the other aged73 had a heart ailment
Officials of the state JailsPolice and the HomeDepartment which handledthe remission applicationsat different levels refused tocomment on the subject
Jails Minister SukhjinderSingh Randhawa said hewas not aware of the detailsof the cases

WHEN Durga Puja wascelebrated in West Ben-gal this year KolkatarsquosKasba locality home to
residents who had endured a statelesslife on being forced out of East Bengal(now Bangladesh) after Partition thepandal used the National Register ofCitizens (NRC) as its theme The miseen scene depicted the struggles wagedby people in piecing together theirlives decades later when they mighthave to lsquoproversquo they are card-carryingIndian citizens failing which they willbe stateless and homeless again A fig-ureless throne placed at the centre ofthe stage fixed on to a globe and out-fitted with a crown and guns symbol-ised state power and coercion
Ironically the NRC shadow loomedover Durga Puja just when the BJPhoped to use the festival as a means ofreaching out to its supporters andexpand its base Amit Shah the HomeMinister and BJP president was invit-ed to inaugurate the community jam-boree in several places although even-tually he confined himself to launchingone Identifying and assimilating itsworld view with the statersquos religiousand social culture was a consideredpart of the BJPrsquos blueprint in WestBengal that was largely unmappedterritory until the 2019 Lok Sabha elec-tion breakthrough came about It wasimportant for the BJP to shake off thetag of a North Indian party confined toKolkatarsquos Hindi-speaking Burrabazar
Initially under the influence of thecoreNorth Indian constituency the tac-tic faltered a little The BJP introducedRam Navami as a pan-Indian festival inWest Bengal but that left no imprint ona region that embraced eclectic forms ofHinduism implanted in the lives andteachings of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu
and Ramakrishna Paramhans Modiand Shah figured out that it was impor-tant to connect with provincial symbolsand icons to enlarge the BJPrsquos reachTherefore the Union Culture Ministrywas directed to mount a permanentexhibit at Kolkatarsquos National Libraryrepresenting Bankim Chandra Chat-topadhyay Tagore Syama PrasadMukherjee and Subhas Chandra BoseOn the ground the endeavour to prop-agate Ram and Hanuman as lsquonational-istrsquo icons continued with vigour so thatwhen it was time for the Lok Sabhapolls large sections of even Bengali-speaking Hindus who traditionallyworshipped Durga Kali and Saraswatiadopted these gods in their iconogra-phy The BJP took care to fuse the reli-gious with the political Ram was vener-ated as an image of desh bhakti ofnationalism because in the partyrsquosreckoning West Bengal had to tran-scend its identity politics and fuse intothe lsquonational mainstreamrsquo
The NRC fiasco in Assam threatenedto obstruct the BJPrsquos long-term plansRather than proceed along the contoursit laid out for decades mdash segregating thelsquoinfiltratorsrsquo from the lsquorefugeesrsquo ofBangladesh and underscoring theirreligious identities while harping on
how the Hindus were lsquodriven outrsquo indroves from across the eastern bordermdash the Assam exercise left out a largenumber of Bengali-speaking Hindusfrom the final NRC Almost as many asthe Muslims The BJP wanted to deportthe Muslim lsquoinfiltratorsrsquo and grant cit-izenship rights to the lsquorefugeesrsquo unlikeits periodic ally the Asom GanaParishad that refused to recognisesuch a distinction What happened tothe BJPrsquos age-old belief
The spectre of a homegrown crisisakin to the predicament of MyanmarrsquosRohingya haunted the hunted ofAssam and possibly West Bengal Mus-lims and Hindus The amended lawrequired that both parents of thoseborn on or after December 4 2004must be Indian citizens The amend-ment overturned the principle of jussoli adopted by the Motilal Nehru Com-mittee in 1928 to confer citizenshipbased on onersquos birthplace The conceptof jus sanguinis or right of blood thatgoverned the amendment stipulatedthat an lsquounlawfulrsquo migrant cannotclaim citizenship by naturalisation orregistration even if he or she resided inIndia for the required seven years
As Shah vowed to bring NRC in WestBengal CM Mamata Banerjee claimed
that Assam would not be repeated inher state Her rationale was that theNRC project in Assam was an outcomeof the accord signed in 1985 betweenthe Centre and the spearheads of theAll Assam Students Union while WestBengal was not dictated to by any suchpact With the emergence of the BJP asher principal opponent and herself fire-fighting allegations of corruption andbad law and order in her backyardMamata seized upon NRC threat as ananti-Bengali issue and alleged that itwas a ploy to evict Bengali-speakingresidents of Assam and jeopardise thepeople of her state Implicit in her argu-ment was the point that by lsquotargetingrsquoBengalis the BJP was going back to itsnorthern roots Indeed BJP insiders inWest Bengal were afraid that NRCmight overshadow the other issuesthey had raised against Mamata
The electoral implications of Shahrsquospitch were not lost on the West BengalBJP Even if the party was unconcernedabout the votes of the minorities it hadother ethnic groups to worry about In2019 the BJP had won over the Matuathe second largest Dalit grouping bywooing its influencers The Matua wereoriginally from Bangladesh Somecame to West Bengal immediately afterPartition while others after 1971 TheMatua votes count in nearly 40 of the295 Assembly seats The Matua settlersalso feared their future
To assuage the apprehensions Shahmdash who rarely if ever diluted his stancesmdash repeatedly stated that Hindus had noreason to be afraid because the Centrewould reintroduce the CitizenshipAmendment (2014) Bill and ensure itspassage If that is accomplished theminorities (Hindu Sikh Buddhist Jainand Christian) who migrated unlawful-ly from Bangladesh Pakistan andAfghanistan can continue living here
NRC does not reverberate only inthe districts bordering BangladeshAfter nearly one lakh persons fromthe Gorkha ethnic group weredropped from Assamrsquos citizenshipregister West Bengalrsquos Gorkhasfeared a similar fate In the end NRCwas less about faith and more aboutthe loss of human dignity and keep-ing body and soul together

Handholding have-notsNobel to Banerjee colleagues can spur fight against poverty
POVERTY alleviation might be a mere slogan in politics convenient-ly used during the elections to woo underprivileged voters but itrsquosa perennial challenge in development economics that has to be con-
fronted with sustained and sincere efforts The Nobel Prize to US-basedeconomists Abhijit Banerjee Esther Duflo and Michael Kremer is well-deserved recognition of their role in fighting poverty that has lsquohelpedmillions of children by favouring practical steps over theoryrsquo The hon-our is expected to give a fillip to the global battle against deprivation anddestitution According to the United Nationsrsquo estimates global povertyhas been reduced by more than half since 2000 yet 10 per cent of the peo-ple in developing regions still live on less than $19 (around Rs 136) a day
Banerjee and Duflo are founder-directors of the Abdul Latif JameelPoverty Action Lab (J-PAL) a worldwide network of researchers thatconducts studies as well as field experiments Their team has pio-neered randomised controlled trials (RCTs) in economics used sincelong in the field of medicine to examine the impact of treatment onone group of people while another group is given just a placebo Theystudied remedial tutoring programmes in schools of Mumbai andVadodara and brought in new teaching assistants who would help chil-dren with special needs On the basis of their experiments they con-cluded that providing more textbooks and free meals on the campushad only minor effect while targeted help for weak students made ahuge difference to overall educational levels Itrsquos true that such microinterventions can never give us the macroeconomic view but theirtransformative influence canrsquot be underestimated
India-born Banerjee has been critical of the Centrersquos economic deci-sions mdash he called demonetisation a weird move mdash but his straight talkshould not discourage the Modi government from utilising his invaluableexperience to undertake reforms in education and healthcare Former UNSecretary-General Kofi Annan once said lsquoThe biggest enemy of healthin the developing world is povertyrsquo India needs the best minds to tacklethe hydra-headed problem that is impeding growth and amplifying socialinequality lsquoGaribi hataorsquo should not remain a poll promise
Air quality concernsNo easy solution to farm fires in Punjab Haryana
THE burning of crop stubble is a problem that comes back to hauntPunjab and Haryana every year The bearing it has on pollution lev-els in Delhi has made the Supreme Court seek a status report from
the Ministry of Environment on the recommendations of a task force toprevent straw burning On Sunday night the air quality in Delhi was cat-egorised as lsquovery poorrsquo While the AAP government there prepares toimplement the odd-even scheme from November 4 to 15 what is worryingis that the problem has started early This is mainly because the sowing ofpaddy began early this year on June 13 leading to early harvesting andthe resultant early burning of crop residue Also there is a narrow timeperiod for clearing the field of the straw so that wheat can be sown mdash aboutthree weeks mdash and farmers prefer the easy way out mdash of burning the stub-ble despite deterrents like fines lodging of criminal cases and seizure ofland records Employing manpower to remove the stubble is difficultbecause with the growing mechanisation of agriculture and implementa-tion of schemes like MGNREGA migration of work force to the northernstates has reduced Also implements to clear the straw come at a cost
The NGT had in 2015 made burning of crop residue a crime But thereis no easy solution Farmers demand cash subsidy to plough stubble backinto the fields or use mechanised means to lift it and also believe that push-ing the residue back into the soil may increase chances of a pest attack
The paddy-wheat cycle is an offshoot of the Green Revolution thatchanged the prevalent cropping pattern of maize millet pulses andoilseeds The MSP encouraged paddy cultivation increasing the areaunder it The ICAR and agricultural universities promote awarenesscampaigns setting up centres for hiring implements to manage cropresidue and using alternatives like extraction of bio-fuel from straw Butwith farmers forming a potent political pressure group governmentsare wary of tackling the problem
The polarising exercise may do BJP more harm than good

THE award of the 2019 NobelPrize in Economics to AbhijitBanerjee and Esther Duflo ofthe Massachusetts Institute
of Technology (MIT) and Michael Kre-mer of Harvard University deservesnot only to be celebrated but also crit-ically reflected upon
Duflo is only the second woman econ-omist to win this prize since it was insti-tuted in 1969 The first was ElinorOstrom for her analysis of economicgovernance especially relating to lsquocom-monrsquo ecological resources thus raisingthe status of ecological economics Duflo(46) is also the youngest-ever winner ofthis prize along with being the onlywoman among this yearrsquos 16 NobelPrize winners Gender bias remains anold problem of this prize The most cele-brated woman economist of all timesJoan Robinson of Cambridge Universi-ty was never given this prize due to ide-ological reasons though her work onimperfect competition has been pio-neering in breaking the assumptions ofperfectly competitive markets
It has been my experience on teachingdevelopment economics that whenever Itaught the topic of gender bias in eco-nomic theory and policy the women stu-dents have loved it and have felt inspiredwhile most not all men students feeluncomfortable about being told thateven the central concept of macro-eco-nomics ie gross domestic product(GDP) is gender-biased because it isbased on measuring marketable goodsand services and consequently ignoreswomenrsquos work in the household
Abhijit Banerjee Duflorsquos husband andPhD supervisor is a former student ofJawaharlal Nehru University The facul-ty and students of this university have
been under vicious attack for manyyears from the government of their owncountry One hopes that this prize willmake those who govern higher educa-tion in India feel proud of this universi-ty and value its academic resources mdashthe faculty and the students
The prize honours the field of develop-ment economics and draws attention tothe global challenge of reducing povertywhich continues to damage the lives ofmillions Globally more than 700 millionpeople live in extreme poverty even ifone accepts the questionable World Bankdefinition of poverty as living on lessthan $190 per day Many millions livejust marginally above this poverty lineand are categorised as lsquovulnerable poorrsquoOne in three children is malnourishedand most children in the developing
world leave school without basic skills inreading writing and mathematics
Banerjee and Duflo have done work onIndia and Kremer on Africa especiallyKenya This prize will open more doorsfor their work but it is also going to opento much sharper scrutiny than it has beensubjected to so far I read their book PoorEconomics A radical rethinking of theway to fight global poverty soon after itcame out I was impressed by their stylebut unconvinced by their argument
The most serious criticism from amethodological point of view is that theirapproach individualises poverty and theroute out of poverty Since their ran-domised controlled trials (RCTs) methodis borrowed from clinical medicine onecan take the example from that field toexplain the problem with this method A
doctor can individualise an illness (sayobesity) prescribe some medicine whichcan provide temporary relief to thepatient important in itself but if that ill-ness (obesity) is widespread it will show aserious weakness of the medical profes-sion if it were not to look into the generalconditions of society that lead to obesitynamely the pattern of food consumptionthe nature of work and employment andthe marketing of food products etc As wecannot throw the entire blame for obesi-ty on to an obese person it is intellectual-ly and morally flawed to blame a poor per-son for hisher poverty
The RCT method believes that theproblem a poor person faces involvessmall modifications (called lsquointerven-tionsrsquo) in the existing methods of hisherdealing with the problem and the ques-
tion is merely of testing which smallmodifications will eventfully work Themethod therefore celebrates lsquowhatworksrsquo and gives the false impression ofbeing very practical and not theoretical
A still higher order of methodologicalproblem emerges when a suggestedintervention is lsquoscaled uprsquo ie gener-alised without considering different con-texts The macro dimensions of povertyie structure of property relations thepattern of income distribution theunequal bargaining powers betweenemployers and employees the nature ofpatriarchal relations the hierarchy ofcaste relations and identity issues ofmajority-minority are just brushed asideas lsquoconfoundingrsquo variables
The other serious methodological flawof the RCT approach that has beenpointed out by ethnographic studies ofpoverty is that its overemphasis onquantitative method has deprived it ofthe insights of qualitative methodsThere is some recognition of this flaw byadmitting that mixed method approachcan be useful but the approach remainsintrinsically hostile to qualitative meth-ods The econometricians have attackedthe RCT approach from the oppositeangle ie identification problem inselecting the samples for testing theeffectiveness of chosen interventionsMoral philosophers have raised ques-tions of ethics in choosing the poorestThird World people for experimentation
The reason this approach is popularwith politicians aid agencies and globalpolicy-makers is that they want to seequick results of their specific interven-tions rather than troubling themselveswith the structural causes of poverty andthe transformational changes requiredto deal with mass poverty

A serious methodologicalflaw of the RCT approachthat has been pointed outby ethnographic studies
of poverty is that itsoveremphasis on
quantitative method hasdeprived it of the insights ofqualitative methods Thereis some recognition of the
flaw by admitting that amixed method approach
can be useful but theapproach remains hostile
to qualitative methods
VULNERABLE POOR Transformational change is required to deal with mass poverty
A BHIJIT Banerjee and fellowBengali Amartya Sen bothNobel laureates in Econom-ics live in the US but their
focus of attention is India where theyreturn for their studies from time totime Banerjee is a professor at Massa-chusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)along with his Paris-born wife EstherDuflo The third Nobel laureate is ProfMichael Kremer who teaches at theneighbouring Harvard University TheRoyal Swedish Academy of Sciencessaid that they were awarded theSveriges Riksbank prize in EconomicSciences in memory of Alfred Nobelfor research findings that have lsquodra-matically improved our ability tofight poverty in practicersquo
The fact that development economicshas taken centre stage before the NobelPrize committee shows that despite all theesoteric new branches of economicsimproving human condition and alleviat-ing poverty remain most important today
Though poverty in the world haddeclined over the years there were 14billion poor in 2005 as per the WorldBank Out of the worldrsquos poor around267 million are in India That is whyBanerjee and Duflo have spent long peri-ods of time in India trying out theirgrassroots level experiments to find thereal causes behind poverty
Development economics for decadeswas based on theory and macroeconom-ic modelling From WW Rostowrsquos theoryof lsquoTake offrsquo to Hirschmanrsquos theory ofbalanced and unbalanced growth devel-opment theory meant prescriptions for abig top-down change in the underdevel-oped economies Banerjee and Duflohave chosen a different path to tacklepoverty by making the poor and their
decision-making vital to the develop-ment process They have gone moredeeply into finding out the nature andcauses of poverty by undertaking a seriesof field experiments to measure crediblywhat sort of policies can make a differ-ence to poverty and related outcomes
Twenty years ago there was a lot ofemphasis on economic theory and moremacroeconomic questions on develop-ment were asked The two Nobel Prizewinners have broken these big questionsof development and studied them likescientists running clinical trials
For example they found that therewere teaching methods in India thatwere insufficiently shaped by the needs
of students Tutoring the low performingpupils improved their achievement last-ingly More than five million childrenhave benefited from effective remedialtutoring during their studies because thepoor may have books but they are unableto learn from them They have also man-aged to inspire state governments to gofor more public investment in preventivehealthcare The Nobel Committee high-lighted how their lsquoexperiment-basedapproachrsquo has transformed develop-ment economics of the past
Thus Banerjee and Duflo have beenmore concerned with measuring whathappens in the real world at the very bot-tom level than sophisticated theoretical
modelling But their experiments aredeeply anchored in theory and they seethe poor as autonomous decision-makerswho are constrained by institutionalinformational monetary and logisticlimitations from doing what couldimprove their condition The Banerjee-Duflo team seeks to learn how the eco-nomic policy of a country can relievethese constraints They have shown thatthere is a need to adopt new approachesin the fight against poverty that arebased on field trials rather than the failedmethods of the past
The use of randomised controlled trials(RCT) to simulate laboratory experi-ments in real-life settings draws on prac-tices from medicine agronomics andsocial sciences RCT intends to breakbigger policy interventions into smallereasier-to-test studies They break issuesinto smaller questions and search for evi-dence about which interventions work toresolve them and seek practical ways tobring these treatments to scale
The essence of their book Poor Eco-nomics can be summed up by their ownsentence in the foreword ldquoWe have toabandon the habit of reducing the poorto cartoon characters and take the timeto really understand their lives in alltheir complexity and richnessrdquo Thebook describes and analyses the choicesthat people living on less than $2 a daymake in India These choices make a lotof sense in reality For instance it iscommon for the poor families to investtheir entire education budget in just onechild usually a son hoping that thischild will make it through secondaryschool and even college
They do not pay as much attention toother children because they think itwould be a waste of resources to spread
the familyrsquos educational budget amongall the children rather than making surethat at least one child reaches his goalBut helping parents understand the val-ue of education is important and has abig impact on running of schools in vil-lages as it can change their educationalchoices Recognising their contributionthe Nobel academy said ldquoTheir experi-mental research methods now entirelydominate development economicsrdquo
The poorrsquos decision-making is thusimportant for solving the malaise ofpoverty as Duflo said recently ldquoPoor peo-ple are supposed to be either completelystupid desperate lazy or entrepreneur-ial But we donrsquot try to understand thedeep root interconnected root of theproblem So what we try to do in ourwork is unpack the problem one by oneto better understand the reason for par-ticular problems What works what does-nrsquot work and whyrdquo
More recently Banerjee advised RahulGandhi on the Nyuntam Aay Yojana(NYAY) scheme for which he suggestedthat the poor should be given Rs 2500 amonth instead of Rs 6000
One common critique of Banerjee andDuflorsquos work is that they donrsquot appreci-ate how hard it is to change the policyand implement the kind of changes thattheir insights into the lives of the poorsuggest They do believe that bigchanges do not work and that the pathforward is not better lsquobig thinkingrsquo butthinking small Improving the lives ofthe poor is primarily a matter of makinga series of small changes in lots of differ-ent domains changes that dont requiremajor political battles or dramaticallychanging the financing structures Thetwo Nobel laureates are thus essentiallyand radically lsquosmall thinkersrsquo
Banerjee and Duflo havechosen a different path totackle poverty by making
the poor and their decision-making vital to thedevelopment process Theyhave gone more deeply intofinding out the nature and
causes of poverty byundertaking a series of field
experiments to measurecredibly what sort of policies can make a
difference to poverty

warning the Centre of dire con-sequences against tamperingwith the special status of JampKIn her last public speech beforeshe was detained on the mid-night of August 4 and 5 on July28 marking the 20th anniver-sary of founding of her partyshe had declared ldquoanyoneattempting to fiddle with thespecial status would perishrdquo
The governmentrsquosattempts to reach out to herand soften her stand areport on the detained lead-ers the sources said hadyielded no results About twoformer chief ministers ndashFarooq Abdullah and his sonOmar Abdullah who aredetained at separate placesndashabout 1000 yards apart onGupkar Road Srinagar thereport says they may be less
troublesome on their releasethough senior Abdullah hasbeen booked under the PSA
Gradually the govern-ment has started releasingsome of the detained lead-ers as the authorities aregauging the situation ontheir release The govern-ment is counting this as apositive sign

Jammu October 15Notwithstanding tall claimsof the Governorrsquos adminis-tration political activity inJammu and Kashmir hasvirtually come to a stand-still as security of all Oppo-sition leaders has beenwithdrawn thus forcingthem to confine themselvesto their homes
Not only the security ofOpposition leaders hasbeen withdrawn the gov-

Sources said the securi-ty and vehicles providedto National Conference(NC) Peoples DemocraticParty (PDP) Congressand Panthers Party werewithdrawn so as to renderthem politically inactiveInterestingly the sameyardstick was not adopt-ed for ex-BJP ministersand MLAs who are enjoy-
ing all government privi-leges like sitting minis-ters and MLAs
After the snapping of
PDP-BJP alliance inJune 2018 and dissolu-tion of Assembly inNovember 2018 ex-min-isters and MLAs wereasked to vacate their offi-cial bungalows
While security of all ex-ministers and MLAs wasdowngraded within notime security of BJP lead-ers was further strength-ened ldquoBiased attitude ofthe authorities has sub-stantiated our allegationsthat administration in

ldquoAmid politics of coercionintimidation detentionsand persecution democra-cy is gasping for breath inthe state Not only the polit-ical parties are scared of thedictatorial regime even thepeople also seem reluctantto express their feelings forthe fear of reprisalrdquo he said

unrest and incite violenceWhile several government

Input credit means at thetime of paying tax on out-put the seller can reducethe tax which he hasalready paid on inputs Forinstance if tax payable on
output is Rs 1000 and taxpaid on input (purchases)is Rs 800 the manufactur-er can claim input credit ofRs 800 and need to depositRs 200 in taxes
According to the notifica-tion ITC to be availed by aregistered person in respectof invoices or debit notesthe details of which havenot been uploaded by thesuppliers under sub-section(1) of Section 37 shall notexceed 20 of the eligiblecredit available in respect ofinvoices or debit notes thedetails of which have beenuploaded by the suppliers[in Form GSTR-1]
ldquoThe cap of 20 shall beAct wise and not accumulat-ed input tax credit Thismeans that the taxpayer hasto work out 20 for CGST
SGST and IGST separatelyIn case the vendor haswrongly entered the placeof supply and has paid taxesunder wrong head therecipient shall not be able toclaim the ITC till it is recti-fied by the correspondingvendorrdquo said Keshav RGarg a tax consultant
The northern region isthe hub of MSMEs withnearly three lakh unitsacross Punjab HaryanaChandigarh HP and JampK
ldquoPreviously companieswere allowed to self-assesstheir ITC claims on thebasis of invoice copy with-out any such restrictions asnotified recently Now evenin case of slight mismatchthe ITC will be upheld andaffect buyer-seller relation-ship besides blocking pre-
cious working capitalrdquo saidBadish Jindal presidentFederation of Punjab SmallIndustries Association
Industrialists rued that theMSMEs were already facinghurdles in claiming ITC andwith this new notificationthey would have to go extramile to ensure that vendorsupload their invoices so thatthey can claim the taxamount paid on inputs orpurchases The GSTR-2A isa purchase-related taxreturn that is automaticallygenerated for each businessby the GST portal when aseller files his GSTR-1 ldquoSothe amendment may bringan incumbent task of regu-larly matching ITC details oftaxpayers with those appear-ing in his GSTR-2A returnrdquosaid another tax consultant

NewDelhi October 15The Boxing Federation ofIndia (BFI) has once againtweaked its selection policyfor the womenrsquos team Nowall the medal winners fromthe World Championshipswill get automatically select-ed for the AsiaOceaniaOlympics qualifier sched-uled to be held in WuhanChina in February 2020
The decision will benefitboth Mary Kom (51kg) andLovlina Borghoin (69kg)who won bronze medals atthe recently-concludedWorld Championships inUlan-Ude Russia
In its earlier communica-tion to the boxers and coach-es BFI had said that thosemaking the cut for the finalsof the World Championshipswill earn direct selection forthe Olympics qualifier Theothers were supposed to gothrough a trial process
Strangely BFI had a differ-ent take for its men boxersFor them winning bronze atthe Worlds would have beenenough to earn a direct shotat the qualifiers It is under-stood that the decision wastaken as the BFI top brassdeemed the womenrsquos compe-tition relatively easier com-pared to the menrsquos
However today BFI presi-dent Ajay Singh said thatthere cannot be differentselection criteria for boththe teams ldquoThe men andwomen will have the sameselection criteria I will makeit official soonrdquo Singh toldThe Tribune on the sidelinesof a felicitation ceremony tohonour the womenrsquos teamthat won four medals
Nikhat left high and dryThe decision means thatNikhat Zareen will not get ashot to clinch a spot for the
first qualifier BFI had con-troversially stopped Nikhatfrom challenging Mary inthe 51kg category afterdeciding not to hold the tri-al despite taking out thedraws in August BFI tookthis arbitrary decision afterMary threatened to notappear in the trial
Todayrsquos decision which isyet to be communicated tothe BFI executive will onceagain leave both Nikhat andVanlal Duati high and dry
Singh explained that thisu-turn came about becauseof the realisation that medalwinners would have wonautomatic qualification forthe 2020 Tokyo Olympicshad it not been for the sus-pension of the internationalboxing association (AIBA) bythe International OlympicCommittee (IOC) ldquoI am clearin my mind but I will have tohave a meeting with my BFIcolleagues about this issueBut my personal opinion isthat whoever has won amedal at the World Champi-onships should automatical-ly take part in the qualifiersrdquoSingh said
Mary surprisedThe decision came as a sur-prise to Mary ldquoI am veryhappy and I am thankfulthat he (president) took thisdecision It also reflectsthat he has belief in myabilitiesrdquo she said
However the federationhas not decided on whathappens if Mary or Lovlinafail to earn qualifications inWuhan A top official saidthat they will take a finaldecision about selection forthe second Olympics quali-fier scheduled to be held inParis in May 2020
ldquoIdeally if she (Mary) does-nrsquot earn qualification thenwe should give a chance toothersrdquo said a BFI official

Though Shah claimedthere has been no deal withGanguly over BCCI presi-dentship sources say he met

Mumbai October 15The reports of assets worthhundreds of crores beingseized from the Wadhawanfamily and office-bearers ofthe troubled PMC Bank Lim-ited have sparked off opti-mism among members ofMumbairsquos Sikh community
ldquoPMC Bank is not closingdown The depositorsrsquomoney is absolutely safeand the bank has enoughassets as collateral that canbe sold to recover moneylent to borrowersrdquo saysTara Singh BJP MLA fromMulund in Mumbai
According to Singh hisfather Partap Singh was oneof the founders of the bankthat was founded in the
1980s to cater to small busi-nessmen like transportersand taxi drivers from theSikh community
Though Singh is not anoffice-bearer in the bank hisson Rajneet was one of itsdirectors The BJP has notfielded Tara Singh in next
weekrsquos Assembly electionsand efforts by him to get theparty ticket for Rajneetfailed because of the latterrsquoslink to PMC Bank
Tara Singh refuses to speakon what went wrong at thePMC Bank and its close linksto the Wadhwan family pro-
moters of Housing and Devel-opment Infrastructure Limit-ed (HDIL) which is facingbankruptcy
He however insisted thathis son Rajneet had nothingto do with the day-to-dayadministration of the bankldquoThe day-to-day administra-tion of the bank was handledby Managing Director JoyThomas and other bankemployeesrdquo says Singh
Prominent leaders of theSikh community who havebeen meeting in Mumbaiever since the ReserveBank of India announcedrestrictions on money with-drawal by depositors lastmonth have been dis-cussing various measures tohelp rescue the bank
ldquoWe are in the process of col-
lecting information from thedepositors and we will file apetition in the High Courtrdquosays Raghubir Singh Gillpresident Guru Singh Sabha
Leaders of the Sikh com-munity who are in touch withthe Mumbai police feelassets being seized from theformer office-bearers of thebank and the Wadhawans besold so that depositorsrsquofunds could be restored
Investigators from the eco-nomic offences wing of theMumbai police claim to haveattached plots of landhotels commercial and resi-dential properties belongingto the Wadhawans and for-mer office-bearers of thebank ndash former ChairmanWaryam Singh and formerMD Joy Thomas

but thereafter no other leaderfrom this region has succeed-ed to get the coveted postdespite the fact that Ahirwalhas always been a trendsetterin the state politics
ldquoThe slogan of bringinglsquochoudharrsquo to Ahirwal hadworked to such an extent inthe 2014 polls that people ofthe region put all 11 seats inthe BJPrsquos kitty for the firsttime but it couldnrsquot get thepost of the CM However thegovernment elevated threeMLAs of Ahirwal mdash Rao Nar-bir Bikram Yadav and RamBilas mdash to the status of minis-ter besides appointing anoth-er MLA Santosh Yadav asDeputy Speaker of the Vid-han Sabhardquo said NareshChauhan a political analyst

Dhankar today bared hismind on the issue He saidhe felt insulted that day ldquoIfelt insulted at the carni-val I am deeply hurt anddisturbed The insult wasnot to me but to every peo-ple of West Bengal Theywill never digest such asinsult I am a servant ofthe people of West BengalNothing can deter mefrom performing my con-stitutional dutiesrdquo he toldreporters here at the side-lines of a programme
Dhankar was seldom shownin the television coverage ofthe carnival an annual eventintroduced by Chief MinisterMamata Banerjee in whichprominent community pujasof Kolkata put up a dazzlingshow on Kolkatarsquos Red Road
The Governor said ldquoThisis an unusual kind of cen-sorship How can you blackout a person holding thisposition after inviting himI urge the media judge meharshly and as stringentlyas you wish to but pleasejudge others as well Thefirst servant of yours wasnot shown on the television
during the four-hour longprogramme It has taken methree days to recover fromthis injury to the heartrdquo
Though the Governorrefrained from taking any-onersquos name it was obviousthat he was holding the ChiefMinister Mamata Banerjeeresponsible for the slight
Incidentally this was thefirst time that the Governorwas invited for the eventwhich entered its fourthedition in 2019 Dhankharhad responded to the ges-ture by gracefully accept-ing the invitation
Reacting to the Governorrsquosremarks TMC leader TapasRoy said the allegations wereunfortunate He alleged thatthe Governor himself wasundermining his office bymaking such frivolous state-ments ldquoArrangement wasmade for a separate dais forhim I donrsquot know why theGovernor is saying all thisfour days after the eventrdquoRoy said and expressedanguish at the Governorcomparing the incident withthe Emergency

SENIOR JOURNALIST
WHEN Durga Puja wascelebrated in West Ben-gal this year KolkatarsquosKasba locality home to
residents who had endured a statelesslife on being forced out of East Bengal(now Bangladesh) after Partition thepandal used the National Register ofCitizens (NRC) as its theme The miseen scene depicted the struggles wagedby people in piecing together theirlives decades later when they mighthave to lsquoproversquo they are card-carryingIndian citizens failing which they willbe stateless and homeless again A fig-ureless throne placed at the centre ofthe stage fixed on to a globe and out-fitted with a crown and guns symbol-ised state power and coercion
Ironically the NRC shadow loomedover Durga Puja just when the BJPhoped to use the festival as a means ofreaching out to its supporters andexpand its base Amit Shah the HomeMinister and BJP president was invit-ed to inaugurate the community jam-boree in several places although even-tually he confined himself to launchingone Identifying and assimilating itsworld view with the statersquos religiousand social culture was a consideredpart of the BJPrsquos blueprint in WestBengal that was largely unmappedterritory until the 2019 Lok Sabha elec-tion breakthrough came about It wasimportant for the BJP to shake off thetag of a North Indian party confined toKolkatarsquos Hindi-speaking Burrabazar
Initially under the influence of thecoreNorth Indian constituency the tac-tic faltered a little The BJP introducedRam Navami as a pan-Indian festival inWest Bengal but that left no imprint ona region that embraced eclectic forms ofHinduism implanted in the lives andteachings of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu
and Ramakrishna Paramhans Modiand Shah figured out that it was impor-tant to connect with provincial symbolsand icons to enlarge the BJPrsquos reachTherefore the Union Culture Ministrywas directed to mount a permanentexhibit at Kolkatarsquos National Libraryrepresenting Bankim Chandra Chat-topadhyay Tagore Syama PrasadMukherjee and Subhas Chandra BoseOn the ground the endeavour to prop-agate Ram and Hanuman as lsquonational-istrsquo icons continued with vigour so thatwhen it was time for the Lok Sabhapolls large sections of even Bengali-speaking Hindus who traditionallyworshipped Durga Kali and Saraswatiadopted these gods in their iconogra-phy The BJP took care to fuse the reli-gious with the political Ram was vener-ated as an image of desh bhakti ofnationalism because in the partyrsquosreckoning West Bengal had to tran-scend its identity politics and fuse intothe lsquonational mainstreamrsquo
The NRC fiasco in Assam threatenedto obstruct the BJPrsquos long-term plansRather than proceed along the contoursit laid out for decades mdash segregating thelsquoinfiltratorsrsquo from the lsquorefugeesrsquo ofBangladesh and underscoring theirreligious identities while harping on
how the Hindus were lsquodriven outrsquo indroves from across the eastern bordermdash the Assam exercise left out a largenumber of Bengali-speaking Hindusfrom the final NRC Almost as many asthe Muslims The BJP wanted to deportthe Muslim lsquoinfiltratorsrsquo and grant cit-izenship rights to the lsquorefugeesrsquo unlikeits periodic ally the Asom GanaParishad that refused to recognisesuch a distinction What happened tothe BJPrsquos age-old belief
The spectre of a homegrown crisisakin to the predicament of MyanmarrsquosRohingya haunted the hunted ofAssam and possibly West Bengal Mus-lims and Hindus The amended lawrequired that both parents of thoseborn on or after December 4 2004must be Indian citizens The amend-ment overturned the principle of jussoli adopted by the Motilal Nehru Com-mittee in 1928 to confer citizenshipbased on onersquos birthplace The conceptof jus sanguinis or right of blood thatgoverned the amendment stipulatedthat an lsquounlawfulrsquo migrant cannotclaim citizenship by naturalisation orregistration even if he or she resided inIndia for the required seven years
As Shah vowed to bring NRC in WestBengal CM Mamata Banerjee claimed
that Assam would not be repeated inher state Her rationale was that theNRC project in Assam was an outcomeof the accord signed in 1985 betweenthe Centre and the spearheads of theAll Assam Students Union while WestBengal was not dictated to by any suchpact With the emergence of the BJP asher principal opponent and herself fire-fighting allegations of corruption andbad law and order in her backyardMamata seized upon NRC threat as ananti-Bengali issue and alleged that itwas a ploy to evict Bengali-speakingresidents of Assam and jeopardise thepeople of her state Implicit in her argu-ment was the point that by lsquotargetingrsquoBengalis the BJP was going back to itsnorthern roots Indeed BJP insiders inWest Bengal were afraid that NRCmight overshadow the other issuesthey had raised against Mamata
The electoral implications of Shahrsquospitch were not lost on the West BengalBJP Even if the party was unconcernedabout the votes of the minorities it hadother ethnic groups to worry about In2019 the BJP had won over the Matuathe second largest Dalit grouping bywooing its influencers The Matua wereoriginally from Bangladesh Somecame to West Bengal immediately afterPartition while others after 1971 TheMatua votes count in nearly 40 of the295 Assembly seats The Matua settlersalso feared their future
To assuage the apprehensions Shahmdash who rarely if ever diluted his stancesmdash repeatedly stated that Hindus had noreason to be afraid because the Centrewould reintroduce the CitizenshipAmendment (2014) Bill and ensure itspassage If that is accomplished theminorities (Hindu Sikh Buddhist Jainand Christian) who migrated unlawful-ly from Bangladesh Pakistan andAfghanistan can continue living here
NRC does not reverberate only inthe districts bordering BangladeshAfter nearly one lakh persons fromthe Gorkha ethnic group weredropped from Assamrsquos citizenshipregister West Bengalrsquos Gorkhasfeared a similar fate In the end NRCwas less about faith and more aboutthe loss of human dignity and keep-ing body and soul together

Handholding have-notsNobel to Banerjee colleagues can spur fight against poverty
POVERTY alleviation might be a mere slogan in politics convenient-ly used during the elections to woo underprivileged voters but itrsquosa perennial challenge in development economics that has to be con-
fronted with sustained and sincere efforts The Nobel Prize to US-basedeconomists Abhijit Banerjee Esther Duflo and Michael Kremer is well-deserved recognition of their role in fighting poverty that has lsquohelpedmillions of children by favouring practical steps over theoryrsquo The hon-our is expected to give a fillip to the global battle against deprivation anddestitution According to the United Nationsrsquo estimates global povertyhas been reduced by more than half since 2000 yet 10 per cent of the peo-ple in developing regions still live on less than $19 (around Rs 136) a day
Banerjee and Duflo are founder-directors of the Abdul Latif JameelPoverty Action Lab (J-PAL) a worldwide network of researchers thatconducts studies as well as field experiments Their team has pio-neered randomised controlled trials (RCTs) in economics used sincelong in the field of medicine to examine the impact of treatment onone group of people while another group is given just a placebo Theystudied remedial tutoring programmes in schools of Mumbai andVadodara and brought in new teaching assistants who would help chil-dren with special needs On the basis of their experiments they con-cluded that providing more textbooks and free meals on the campushad only minor effect while targeted help for weak students made ahuge difference to overall educational levels Itrsquos true that such microinterventions can never give us the macroeconomic view but theirtransformative influence canrsquot be underestimated
India-born Banerjee has been critical of the Centrersquos economic deci-sions mdash he called demonetisation a weird move mdash but his straight talkshould not discourage the Modi government from utilising his invaluableexperience to undertake reforms in education and healthcare Former UNSecretary-General Kofi Annan once said lsquoThe biggest enemy of healthin the developing world is povertyrsquo India needs the best minds to tacklethe hydra-headed problem that is impeding growth and amplifying socialinequality lsquoGaribi hataorsquo should not remain a poll promise
Air quality concernsNo easy solution to farm fires in Punjab Haryana
THE burning of crop stubble is a problem that comes back to hauntPunjab and Haryana every year The bearing it has on pollution lev-els in Delhi has made the Supreme Court seek a status report from
the Ministry of Environment on the recommendations of a task force toprevent straw burning On Sunday night the air quality in Delhi was cat-egorised as lsquovery poorrsquo While the AAP government there prepares toimplement the odd-even scheme from November 4 to 15 what is worryingis that the problem has started early This is mainly because the sowing ofpaddy began early this year on June 13 leading to early harvesting andthe resultant early burning of crop residue Also there is a narrow timeperiod for clearing the field of the straw so that wheat can be sown mdash aboutthree weeks mdash and farmers prefer the easy way out mdash of burning the stub-ble despite deterrents like fines lodging of criminal cases and seizure ofland records Employing manpower to remove the stubble is difficultbecause with the growing mechanisation of agriculture and implementa-tion of schemes like MGNREGA migration of work force to the northernstates has reduced Also implements to clear the straw come at a cost
The NGT had in 2015 made burning of crop residue a crime But thereis no easy solution Farmers demand cash subsidy to plough stubble backinto the fields or use mechanised means to lift it and also believe that push-ing the residue back into the soil may increase chances of a pest attack
The paddy-wheat cycle is an offshoot of the Green Revolution thatchanged the prevalent cropping pattern of maize millet pulses andoilseeds The MSP encouraged paddy cultivation increasing the areaunder it The ICAR and agricultural universities promote awarenesscampaigns setting up centres for hiring implements to manage cropresidue and using alternatives like extraction of bio-fuel from straw Butwith farmers forming a potent political pressure group governmentsare wary of tackling the problem
The polarising exercise may do BJP more harm than good

THE award of the 2019 NobelPrize in Economics to AbhijitBanerjee and Esther Duflo ofthe Massachusetts Institute
of Technology (MIT) and Michael Kre-mer of Harvard University deservesnot only to be celebrated but also crit-ically reflected upon
Duflo is only the second woman econ-omist to win this prize since it was insti-tuted in 1969 The first was ElinorOstrom for her analysis of economicgovernance especially relating to lsquocom-monrsquo ecological resources thus raisingthe status of ecological economics Duflo(46) is also the youngest-ever winner ofthis prize along with being the onlywoman among this yearrsquos 16 NobelPrize winners Gender bias remains anold problem of this prize The most cele-brated woman economist of all timesJoan Robinson of Cambridge Universi-ty was never given this prize due to ide-ological reasons though her work onimperfect competition has been pio-neering in breaking the assumptions ofperfectly competitive markets
It has been my experience on teachingdevelopment economics that whenever Itaught the topic of gender bias in eco-nomic theory and policy the women stu-dents have loved it and have felt inspiredwhile most not all men students feeluncomfortable about being told thateven the central concept of macro-eco-nomics ie gross domestic product(GDP) is gender-biased because it isbased on measuring marketable goodsand services and consequently ignoreswomenrsquos work in the household
Abhijit Banerjee Duflorsquos husband andPhD supervisor is a former student ofJawaharlal Nehru University The facul-ty and students of this university have
been under vicious attack for manyyears from the government of their owncountry One hopes that this prize willmake those who govern higher educa-tion in India feel proud of this universi-ty and value its academic resources mdashthe faculty and the students
The prize honours the field of develop-ment economics and draws attention tothe global challenge of reducing povertywhich continues to damage the lives ofmillions Globally more than 700 millionpeople live in extreme poverty even ifone accepts the questionable World Bankdefinition of poverty as living on lessthan $190 per day Many millions livejust marginally above this poverty lineand are categorised as lsquovulnerable poorrsquoOne in three children is malnourishedand most children in the developing
world leave school without basic skills inreading writing and mathematics
Banerjee and Duflo have done work onIndia and Kremer on Africa especiallyKenya This prize will open more doorsfor their work but it is also going to opento much sharper scrutiny than it has beensubjected to so far I read their book PoorEconomics A radical rethinking of theway to fight global poverty soon after itcame out I was impressed by their stylebut unconvinced by their argument
The most serious criticism from amethodological point of view is that theirapproach individualises poverty and theroute out of poverty Since their ran-domised controlled trials (RCTs) methodis borrowed from clinical medicine onecan take the example from that field toexplain the problem with this method A
doctor can individualise an illness (sayobesity) prescribe some medicine whichcan provide temporary relief to thepatient important in itself but if that ill-ness (obesity) is widespread it will show aserious weakness of the medical profes-sion if it were not to look into the generalconditions of society that lead to obesitynamely the pattern of food consumptionthe nature of work and employment andthe marketing of food products etc As wecannot throw the entire blame for obesi-ty on to an obese person it is intellectual-ly and morally flawed to blame a poor per-son for hisher poverty
The RCT method believes that theproblem a poor person faces involvessmall modifications (called lsquointerven-tionsrsquo) in the existing methods of hisherdealing with the problem and the ques-
tion is merely of testing which smallmodifications will eventfully work Themethod therefore celebrates lsquowhatworksrsquo and gives the false impression ofbeing very practical and not theoretical
A still higher order of methodologicalproblem emerges when a suggestedintervention is lsquoscaled uprsquo ie gener-alised without considering different con-texts The macro dimensions of povertyie structure of property relations thepattern of income distribution theunequal bargaining powers betweenemployers and employees the nature ofpatriarchal relations the hierarchy ofcaste relations and identity issues ofmajority-minority are just brushed asideas lsquoconfoundingrsquo variables
The other serious methodological flawof the RCT approach that has beenpointed out by ethnographic studies ofpoverty is that its overemphasis onquantitative method has deprived it ofthe insights of qualitative methodsThere is some recognition of this flaw byadmitting that mixed method approachcan be useful but the approach remainsintrinsically hostile to qualitative meth-ods The econometricians have attackedthe RCT approach from the oppositeangle ie identification problem inselecting the samples for testing theeffectiveness of chosen interventionsMoral philosophers have raised ques-tions of ethics in choosing the poorestThird World people for experimentation
The reason this approach is popularwith politicians aid agencies and globalpolicy-makers is that they want to seequick results of their specific interven-tions rather than troubling themselveswith the structural causes of poverty andthe transformational changes requiredto deal with mass poverty

A serious methodologicalflaw of the RCT approachthat has been pointed outby ethnographic studies
of poverty is that itsoveremphasis on
quantitative method hasdeprived it of the insights ofqualitative methods Thereis some recognition of the
flaw by admitting that amixed method approach
can be useful but theapproach remains hostile
to qualitative methods
VULNERABLE POOR Transformational change is required to deal with mass poverty
A BHIJIT Banerjee and fellowBengali Amartya Sen bothNobel laureates in Econom-ics live in the US but their
focus of attention is India where theyreturn for their studies from time totime Banerjee is a professor at Massa-chusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)along with his Paris-born wife EstherDuflo The third Nobel laureate is ProfMichael Kremer who teaches at theneighbouring Harvard University TheRoyal Swedish Academy of Sciencessaid that they were awarded theSveriges Riksbank prize in EconomicSciences in memory of Alfred Nobelfor research findings that have lsquodra-matically improved our ability tofight poverty in practicersquo
The fact that development economicshas taken centre stage before the NobelPrize committee shows that despite all theesoteric new branches of economicsimproving human condition and alleviat-ing poverty remain most important today
Though poverty in the world haddeclined over the years there were 14billion poor in 2005 as per the WorldBank Out of the worldrsquos poor around267 million are in India That is whyBanerjee and Duflo have spent long peri-ods of time in India trying out theirgrassroots level experiments to find thereal causes behind poverty
Development economics for decadeswas based on theory and macroeconom-ic modelling From WW Rostowrsquos theoryof lsquoTake offrsquo to Hirschmanrsquos theory ofbalanced and unbalanced growth devel-opment theory meant prescriptions for abig top-down change in the underdevel-oped economies Banerjee and Duflohave chosen a different path to tacklepoverty by making the poor and their
decision-making vital to the develop-ment process They have gone moredeeply into finding out the nature andcauses of poverty by undertaking a seriesof field experiments to measure crediblywhat sort of policies can make a differ-ence to poverty and related outcomes
Twenty years ago there was a lot ofemphasis on economic theory and moremacroeconomic questions on develop-ment were asked The two Nobel Prizewinners have broken these big questionsof development and studied them likescientists running clinical trials
For example they found that therewere teaching methods in India thatwere insufficiently shaped by the needs
of students Tutoring the low performingpupils improved their achievement last-ingly More than five million childrenhave benefited from effective remedialtutoring during their studies because thepoor may have books but they are unableto learn from them They have also man-aged to inspire state governments to gofor more public investment in preventivehealthcare The Nobel Committee high-lighted how their lsquoexperiment-basedapproachrsquo has transformed develop-ment economics of the past
Thus Banerjee and Duflo have beenmore concerned with measuring whathappens in the real world at the very bot-tom level than sophisticated theoretical
modelling But their experiments aredeeply anchored in theory and they seethe poor as autonomous decision-makerswho are constrained by institutionalinformational monetary and logisticlimitations from doing what couldimprove their condition The Banerjee-Duflo team seeks to learn how the eco-nomic policy of a country can relievethese constraints They have shown thatthere is a need to adopt new approachesin the fight against poverty that arebased on field trials rather than the failedmethods of the past
The use of randomised controlled trials(RCT) to simulate laboratory experi-ments in real-life settings draws on prac-tices from medicine agronomics andsocial sciences RCT intends to breakbigger policy interventions into smallereasier-to-test studies They break issuesinto smaller questions and search for evi-dence about which interventions work toresolve them and seek practical ways tobring these treatments to scale
The essence of their book Poor Eco-nomics can be summed up by their ownsentence in the foreword ldquoWe have toabandon the habit of reducing the poorto cartoon characters and take the timeto really understand their lives in alltheir complexity and richnessrdquo Thebook describes and analyses the choicesthat people living on less than $2 a daymake in India These choices make a lotof sense in reality For instance it iscommon for the poor families to investtheir entire education budget in just onechild usually a son hoping that thischild will make it through secondaryschool and even college
They do not pay as much attention toother children because they think itwould be a waste of resources to spread
the familyrsquos educational budget amongall the children rather than making surethat at least one child reaches his goalBut helping parents understand the val-ue of education is important and has abig impact on running of schools in vil-lages as it can change their educationalchoices Recognising their contributionthe Nobel academy said ldquoTheir experi-mental research methods now entirelydominate development economicsrdquo
The poorrsquos decision-making is thusimportant for solving the malaise ofpoverty as Duflo said recently ldquoPoor peo-ple are supposed to be either completelystupid desperate lazy or entrepreneur-ial But we donrsquot try to understand thedeep root interconnected root of theproblem So what we try to do in ourwork is unpack the problem one by oneto better understand the reason for par-ticular problems What works what does-nrsquot work and whyrdquo
More recently Banerjee advised RahulGandhi on the Nyuntam Aay Yojana(NYAY) scheme for which he suggestedthat the poor should be given Rs 2500 amonth instead of Rs 6000
One common critique of Banerjee andDuflorsquos work is that they donrsquot appreci-ate how hard it is to change the policyand implement the kind of changes thattheir insights into the lives of the poorsuggest They do believe that bigchanges do not work and that the pathforward is not better lsquobig thinkingrsquo butthinking small Improving the lives ofthe poor is primarily a matter of makinga series of small changes in lots of differ-ent domains changes that dont requiremajor political battles or dramaticallychanging the financing structures Thetwo Nobel laureates are thus essentiallyand radically lsquosmall thinkersrsquo
Banerjee and Duflo havechosen a different path totackle poverty by making
the poor and their decision-making vital to thedevelopment process Theyhave gone more deeply intofinding out the nature and
causes of poverty byundertaking a series of field
experiments to measurecredibly what sort of policies can make a
difference to poverty

The tool sources saidwould be used in sifting andsegregating raw informationas well as to assist in generat-ing intelligence assessmentsdecision-making and opera-tional planning The use of AIin counter-terrorism alsoassumes significance with thegrowing use of social mediaand online platforms by radi-cal elements as well as otherhostile state agencies to cre-ate social and communal
unrest and incite violenceWhile several government
ministries and departmentsincluding the Ministry ofHome Affairs and the Depart-ment of Information Technol-ogy are involved in develop-ing e-tools and the Ministryof Defence recently made itmandatory for defence publicsector units to focus on the

Chandigarh October 15The Centrersquos recent notifica-tion restricting the input taxcredit (ITC) to 20 for anentity if its supplier has notuploaded relevant invoiceshas not gone well withMSMEs of the region Thegovernment has introducedthe new rule to keep a checkon fake ITC claims
However already reelingunder slowdown and creditcrunch the MSMEs feel itwill affect block their work-ing capital and enhancecompliance burden
Input credit means at thetime of paying tax on out-put the seller can reducethe tax which he hasalready paid on inputs Forinstance if tax payable on
output is Rs 1000 and taxpaid on input (purchases)is Rs 800 the manufactur-er can claim input credit ofRs 800 and need to depositRs 200 in taxes
According to the notifica-tion ITC to be availed by aregistered person in respectof invoices or debit notesthe details of which havenot been uploaded by thesuppliers under sub-section(1) of Section 37 shall notexceed 20 of the eligiblecredit available in respect ofinvoices or debit notes thedetails of which have beenuploaded by the suppliers[in Form GSTR-1]
ldquoThe cap of 20 shall beAct wise and not accumulat-ed input tax credit Thismeans that the taxpayer hasto work out 20 for CGST
SGST and IGST separatelyIn case the vendor haswrongly entered the placeof supply and has paid taxesunder wrong head therecipient shall not be able toclaim the ITC till it is recti-fied by the correspondingvendorrdquo said Keshav RGarg a tax consultant
The northern region isthe hub of MSMEs withnearly three lakh unitsacross Punjab HaryanaChandigarh HP and JampK
ldquoPreviously companieswere allowed to self-assesstheir ITC claims on thebasis of invoice copy with-out any such restrictions asnotified recently Now evenin case of slight mismatchthe ITC will be upheld andaffect buyer-seller relation-ship besides blocking pre-
cious working capitalrdquo saidBadish Jindal presidentFederation of Punjab SmallIndustries Association
Industrialists rued that theMSMEs were already facinghurdles in claiming ITC andwith this new notificationthey would have to go extramile to ensure that vendorsupload their invoices so thatthey can claim the taxamount paid on inputs orpurchases The GSTR-2A isa purchase-related taxreturn that is automaticallygenerated for each businessby the GST portal when aseller files his GSTR-1 ldquoSothe amendment may bringan incumbent task of regu-larly matching ITC details oftaxpayers with those appear-ing in his GSTR-2A returnrdquosaid another tax consultant

NewDelhi October 15The Boxing Federation ofIndia (BFI) has once againtweaked its selection policyfor the womenrsquos team Nowall the medal winners fromthe World Championshipswill get automatically select-ed for the AsiaOceaniaOlympics qualifier sched-uled to be held in WuhanChina in February 2020
The decision will benefitboth Mary Kom (51kg) andLovlina Borghoin (69kg)who won bronze medals atthe recently-concludedWorld Championships inUlan-Ude Russia
In its earlier communica-tion to the boxers and coach-es BFI had said that thosemaking the cut for the finalsof the World Championshipswill earn direct selection forthe Olympics qualifier Theothers were supposed to gothrough a trial process
Strangely BFI had a differ-ent take for its men boxersFor them winning bronze atthe Worlds would have beenenough to earn a direct shotat the qualifiers It is under-stood that the decision wastaken as the BFI top brassdeemed the womenrsquos compe-tition relatively easier com-pared to the menrsquos
However today BFI presi-dent Ajay Singh said thatthere cannot be differentselection criteria for boththe teams ldquoThe men andwomen will have the sameselection criteria I will makeit official soonrdquo Singh toldThe Tribune on the sidelinesof a felicitation ceremony tohonour the womenrsquos teamthat won four medals
Nikhat left high and dryThe decision means thatNikhat Zareen will not get ashot to clinch a spot for the
first qualifier BFI had con-troversially stopped Nikhatfrom challenging Mary inthe 51kg category afterdeciding not to hold the tri-al despite taking out thedraws in August BFI tookthis arbitrary decision afterMary threatened to notappear in the trial
Todayrsquos decision which isyet to be communicated tothe BFI executive will onceagain leave both Nikhat andVanlal Duati high and dry
Singh explained that thisu-turn came about becauseof the realisation that medalwinners would have wonautomatic qualification forthe 2020 Tokyo Olympicshad it not been for the sus-pension of the internationalboxing association (AIBA) bythe International OlympicCommittee (IOC) ldquoI am clearin my mind but I will have tohave a meeting with my BFIcolleagues about this issueBut my personal opinion isthat whoever has won amedal at the World Champi-onships should automatical-ly take part in the qualifiersrdquoSingh said
Mary surprisedThe decision came as a sur-prise to Mary ldquoI am veryhappy and I am thankfulthat he (president) took thisdecision It also reflectsthat he has belief in myabilitiesrdquo she said
However the federationhas not decided on whathappens if Mary or Lovlinafail to earn qualifications inWuhan A top official saidthat they will take a finaldecision about selection forthe second Olympics quali-fier scheduled to be held inParis in May 2020
ldquoIdeally if she (Mary) does-nrsquot earn qualification thenwe should give a chance toothersrdquo said a BFI official

The electioneering hasentered its last lag but neitherthe BJP nor the Congress lead-ers are mentioning lsquochoud-harrsquo (supremacy) in theirspeech Meawhile during the2014 elections not only theBJP leaders mdash Rao Inderjitand Ram Bilas Sharma mdash buteven Congress leader CaptAjay Yadav sought votes in thename of bringing lsquochoudharrsquoto Ahirwal Rao did not contestthe Assembly elections butcampaigned for his supporters
Rao Birender Singh fatherof Union Minister Rao Inder-jit had served as the CM in1967 for around nine months
but thereafter no other leaderfrom this region has succeed-ed to get the coveted postdespite the fact that Ahirwalhas always been a trendsetterin the state politics
ldquoThe slogan of bringinglsquochoudharrsquo to Ahirwal hadworked to such an extent inthe 2014 polls that people ofthe region put all 11 seats inthe BJPrsquos kitty for the firsttime but it couldnrsquot get thepost of the CM However thegovernment elevated threeMLAs of Ahirwal mdash Rao Nar-bir Bikram Yadav and RamBilas mdash to the status of minis-ter besides appointing anoth-er MLA Santosh Yadav asDeputy Speaker of the Vid-han Sabhardquo said NareshChauhan a political analyst
This time Sharma is re-seeking election in the nameof scrapping of Article 370and the work done by thegovernment He is not rak-ing up the issue of lsquochoud-harrsquo he added

SENIOR JOURNALIST
WHEN Durga Puja wascelebrated in West Ben-gal this year KolkatarsquosKasba locality home to
residents who had endured a statelesslife on being forced out of East Bengal(now Bangladesh) after Partition thepandal used the National Register ofCitizens (NRC) as its theme The miseen scene depicted the struggles wagedby people in piecing together theirlives decades later when they mighthave to lsquoproversquo they are card-carryingIndian citizens failing which they willbe stateless and homeless again A fig-ureless throne placed at the centre ofthe stage fixed on to a globe and out-fitted with a crown and guns symbol-ised state power and coercion
Ironically the NRC shadow loomedover Durga Puja just when the BJPhoped to use the festival as a means ofreaching out to its supporters andexpand its base Amit Shah the HomeMinister and BJP president was invit-ed to inaugurate the community jam-boree in several places although even-tually he confined himself to launchingone Identifying and assimilating itsworld view with the statersquos religiousand social culture was a consideredpart of the BJPrsquos blueprint in WestBengal that was largely unmappedterritory until the 2019 Lok Sabha elec-tion breakthrough came about It wasimportant for the BJP to shake off thetag of a North Indian party confined toKolkatarsquos Hindi-speaking Burrabazar
Initially under the influence of thecoreNorth Indian constituency the tac-tic faltered a little The BJP introducedRam Navami as a pan-Indian festival inWest Bengal but that left no imprint ona region that embraced eclectic forms ofHinduism implanted in the lives andteachings of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu
and Ramakrishna Paramhans Modiand Shah figured out that it was impor-tant to connect with provincial symbolsand icons to enlarge the BJPrsquos reachTherefore the Union Culture Ministrywas directed to mount a permanentexhibit at Kolkatarsquos National Libraryrepresenting Bankim Chandra Chat-topadhyay Tagore Syama PrasadMukherjee and Subhas Chandra BoseOn the ground the endeavour to prop-agate Ram and Hanuman as lsquonational-istrsquo icons continued with vigour so thatwhen it was time for the Lok Sabhapolls large sections of even Bengali-speaking Hindus who traditionallyworshipped Durga Kali and Saraswatiadopted these gods in their iconogra-phy The BJP took care to fuse the reli-gious with the political Ram was vener-ated as an image of desh bhakti ofnationalism because in the partyrsquosreckoning West Bengal had to tran-scend its identity politics and fuse intothe lsquonational mainstreamrsquo
The NRC fiasco in Assam threatenedto obstruct the BJPrsquos long-term plansRather than proceed along the contoursit laid out for decades mdash segregating thelsquoinfiltratorsrsquo from the lsquorefugeesrsquo ofBangladesh and underscoring theirreligious identities while harping on
how the Hindus were lsquodriven outrsquo indroves from across the eastern bordermdash the Assam exercise left out a largenumber of Bengali-speaking Hindusfrom the final NRC Almost as many asthe Muslims The BJP wanted to deportthe Muslim lsquoinfiltratorsrsquo and grant cit-izenship rights to the lsquorefugeesrsquo unlikeits periodic ally the Asom GanaParishad that refused to recognisesuch a distinction What happened tothe BJPrsquos age-old belief
The spectre of a homegrown crisisakin to the predicament of MyanmarrsquosRohingya haunted the hunted ofAssam and possibly West Bengal Mus-lims and Hindus The amended lawrequired that both parents of thoseborn on or after December 4 2004must be Indian citizens The amend-ment overturned the principle of jussoli adopted by the Motilal Nehru Com-mittee in 1928 to confer citizenshipbased on onersquos birthplace The conceptof jus sanguinis or right of blood thatgoverned the amendment stipulatedthat an lsquounlawfulrsquo migrant cannotclaim citizenship by naturalisation orregistration even if he or she resided inIndia for the required seven years
As Shah vowed to bring NRC in WestBengal CM Mamata Banerjee claimed
that Assam would not be repeated inher state Her rationale was that theNRC project in Assam was an outcomeof the accord signed in 1985 betweenthe Centre and the spearheads of theAll Assam Students Union while WestBengal was not dictated to by any suchpact With the emergence of the BJP asher principal opponent and herself fire-fighting allegations of corruption andbad law and order in her backyardMamata seized upon NRC threat as ananti-Bengali issue and alleged that itwas a ploy to evict Bengali-speakingresidents of Assam and jeopardise thepeople of her state Implicit in her argu-ment was the point that by lsquotargetingrsquoBengalis the BJP was going back to itsnorthern roots Indeed BJP insiders inWest Bengal were afraid that NRCmight overshadow the other issuesthey had raised against Mamata
The electoral implications of Shahrsquospitch were not lost on the West BengalBJP Even if the party was unconcernedabout the votes of the minorities it hadother ethnic groups to worry about In2019 the BJP had won over the Matuathe second largest Dalit grouping bywooing its influencers The Matua wereoriginally from Bangladesh Somecame to West Bengal immediately afterPartition while others after 1971 TheMatua votes count in nearly 40 of the295 Assembly seats The Matua settlersalso feared their future
To assuage the apprehensions Shahmdash who rarely if ever diluted his stancesmdash repeatedly stated that Hindus had noreason to be afraid because the Centrewould reintroduce the CitizenshipAmendment (2014) Bill and ensure itspassage If that is accomplished theminorities (Hindu Sikh Buddhist Jainand Christian) who migrated unlawful-ly from Bangladesh Pakistan andAfghanistan can continue living here
NRC does not reverberate only inthe districts bordering BangladeshAfter nearly one lakh persons fromthe Gorkha ethnic group weredropped from Assamrsquos citizenshipregister West Bengalrsquos Gorkhasfeared a similar fate In the end NRCwas less about faith and more aboutthe loss of human dignity and keep-ing body and soul together

Handholding have-notsNobel to Banerjee colleagues can spur fight against poverty
POVERTY alleviation might be a mere slogan in politics convenient-ly used during the elections to woo underprivileged voters but itrsquosa perennial challenge in development economics that has to be con-
fronted with sustained and sincere efforts The Nobel Prize to US-basedeconomists Abhijit Banerjee Esther Duflo and Michael Kremer is well-deserved recognition of their role in fighting poverty that has lsquohelpedmillions of children by favouring practical steps over theoryrsquo The hon-our is expected to give a fillip to the global battle against deprivation anddestitution According to the United Nationsrsquo estimates global povertyhas been reduced by more than half since 2000 yet 10 per cent of the peo-ple in developing regions still live on less than $19 (around Rs 136) a day
Banerjee and Duflo are founder-directors of the Abdul Latif JameelPoverty Action Lab (J-PAL) a worldwide network of researchers thatconducts studies as well as field experiments Their team has pio-neered randomised controlled trials (RCTs) in economics used sincelong in the field of medicine to examine the impact of treatment onone group of people while another group is given just a placebo Theystudied remedial tutoring programmes in schools of Mumbai andVadodara and brought in new teaching assistants who would help chil-dren with special needs On the basis of their experiments they con-cluded that providing more textbooks and free meals on the campushad only minor effect while targeted help for weak students made ahuge difference to overall educational levels Itrsquos true that such microinterventions can never give us the macroeconomic view but theirtransformative influence canrsquot be underestimated
India-born Banerjee has been critical of the Centrersquos economic deci-sions mdash he called demonetisation a weird move mdash but his straight talkshould not discourage the Modi government from utilising his invaluableexperience to undertake reforms in education and healthcare Former UNSecretary-General Kofi Annan once said lsquoThe biggest enemy of healthin the developing world is povertyrsquo India needs the best minds to tacklethe hydra-headed problem that is impeding growth and amplifying socialinequality lsquoGaribi hataorsquo should not remain a poll promise
Air quality concernsNo easy solution to farm fires in Punjab Haryana
THE burning of crop stubble is a problem that comes back to hauntPunjab and Haryana every year The bearing it has on pollution lev-els in Delhi has made the Supreme Court seek a status report from
the Ministry of Environment on the recommendations of a task force toprevent straw burning On Sunday night the air quality in Delhi was cat-egorised as lsquovery poorrsquo While the AAP government there prepares toimplement the odd-even scheme from November 4 to 15 what is worryingis that the problem has started early This is mainly because the sowing ofpaddy began early this year on June 13 leading to early harvesting andthe resultant early burning of crop residue Also there is a narrow timeperiod for clearing the field of the straw so that wheat can be sown mdash aboutthree weeks mdash and farmers prefer the easy way out mdash of burning the stub-ble despite deterrents like fines lodging of criminal cases and seizure ofland records Employing manpower to remove the stubble is difficultbecause with the growing mechanisation of agriculture and implementa-tion of schemes like MGNREGA migration of work force to the northernstates has reduced Also implements to clear the straw come at a cost
The NGT had in 2015 made burning of crop residue a crime But thereis no easy solution Farmers demand cash subsidy to plough stubble backinto the fields or use mechanised means to lift it and also believe that push-ing the residue back into the soil may increase chances of a pest attack
The paddy-wheat cycle is an offshoot of the Green Revolution thatchanged the prevalent cropping pattern of maize millet pulses andoilseeds The MSP encouraged paddy cultivation increasing the areaunder it The ICAR and agricultural universities promote awarenesscampaigns setting up centres for hiring implements to manage cropresidue and using alternatives like extraction of bio-fuel from straw Butwith farmers forming a potent political pressure group governmentsare wary of tackling the problem
The polarising exercise may do BJP more harm than good

THE award of the 2019 NobelPrize in Economics to AbhijitBanerjee and Esther Duflo ofthe Massachusetts Institute
of Technology (MIT) and Michael Kre-mer of Harvard University deservesnot only to be celebrated but also crit-ically reflected upon
Duflo is only the second woman econ-omist to win this prize since it was insti-tuted in 1969 The first was ElinorOstrom for her analysis of economicgovernance especially relating to lsquocom-monrsquo ecological resources thus raisingthe status of ecological economics Duflo(46) is also the youngest-ever winner ofthis prize along with being the onlywoman among this yearrsquos 16 NobelPrize winners Gender bias remains anold problem of this prize The most cele-brated woman economist of all timesJoan Robinson of Cambridge Universi-ty was never given this prize due to ide-ological reasons though her work onimperfect competition has been pio-neering in breaking the assumptions ofperfectly competitive markets
It has been my experience on teachingdevelopment economics that whenever Itaught the topic of gender bias in eco-nomic theory and policy the women stu-dents have loved it and have felt inspiredwhile most not all men students feeluncomfortable about being told thateven the central concept of macro-eco-nomics ie gross domestic product(GDP) is gender-biased because it isbased on measuring marketable goodsand services and consequently ignoreswomenrsquos work in the household
Abhijit Banerjee Duflorsquos husband andPhD supervisor is a former student ofJawaharlal Nehru University The facul-ty and students of this university have
been under vicious attack for manyyears from the government of their owncountry One hopes that this prize willmake those who govern higher educa-tion in India feel proud of this universi-ty and value its academic resources mdashthe faculty and the students
The prize honours the field of develop-ment economics and draws attention tothe global challenge of reducing povertywhich continues to damage the lives ofmillions Globally more than 700 millionpeople live in extreme poverty even ifone accepts the questionable World Bankdefinition of poverty as living on lessthan $190 per day Many millions livejust marginally above this poverty lineand are categorised as lsquovulnerable poorrsquoOne in three children is malnourishedand most children in the developing
world leave school without basic skills inreading writing and mathematics
Banerjee and Duflo have done work onIndia and Kremer on Africa especiallyKenya This prize will open more doorsfor their work but it is also going to opento much sharper scrutiny than it has beensubjected to so far I read their book PoorEconomics A radical rethinking of theway to fight global poverty soon after itcame out I was impressed by their stylebut unconvinced by their argument
The most serious criticism from amethodological point of view is that theirapproach individualises poverty and theroute out of poverty Since their ran-domised controlled trials (RCTs) methodis borrowed from clinical medicine onecan take the example from that field toexplain the problem with this method A
doctor can individualise an illness (sayobesity) prescribe some medicine whichcan provide temporary relief to thepatient important in itself but if that ill-ness (obesity) is widespread it will show aserious weakness of the medical profes-sion if it were not to look into the generalconditions of society that lead to obesitynamely the pattern of food consumptionthe nature of work and employment andthe marketing of food products etc As wecannot throw the entire blame for obesi-ty on to an obese person it is intellectual-ly and morally flawed to blame a poor per-son for hisher poverty
The RCT method believes that theproblem a poor person faces involvessmall modifications (called lsquointerven-tionsrsquo) in the existing methods of hisherdealing with the problem and the ques-
tion is merely of testing which smallmodifications will eventfully work Themethod therefore celebrates lsquowhatworksrsquo and gives the false impression ofbeing very practical and not theoretical
A still higher order of methodologicalproblem emerges when a suggestedintervention is lsquoscaled uprsquo ie gener-alised without considering different con-texts The macro dimensions of povertyie structure of property relations thepattern of income distribution theunequal bargaining powers betweenemployers and employees the nature ofpatriarchal relations the hierarchy ofcaste relations and identity issues ofmajority-minority are just brushed asideas lsquoconfoundingrsquo variables
The other serious methodological flawof the RCT approach that has beenpointed out by ethnographic studies ofpoverty is that its overemphasis onquantitative method has deprived it ofthe insights of qualitative methodsThere is some recognition of this flaw byadmitting that mixed method approachcan be useful but the approach remainsintrinsically hostile to qualitative meth-ods The econometricians have attackedthe RCT approach from the oppositeangle ie identification problem inselecting the samples for testing theeffectiveness of chosen interventionsMoral philosophers have raised ques-tions of ethics in choosing the poorestThird World people for experimentation
The reason this approach is popularwith politicians aid agencies and globalpolicy-makers is that they want to seequick results of their specific interven-tions rather than troubling themselveswith the structural causes of poverty andthe transformational changes requiredto deal with mass poverty

A serious methodologicalflaw of the RCT approachthat has been pointed outby ethnographic studies
of poverty is that itsoveremphasis on
quantitative method hasdeprived it of the insights ofqualitative methods Thereis some recognition of the
flaw by admitting that amixed method approach
can be useful but theapproach remains hostile
to qualitative methods
VULNERABLE POOR Transformational change is required to deal with mass poverty
A BHIJIT Banerjee and fellowBengali Amartya Sen bothNobel laureates in Econom-ics live in the US but their
focus of attention is India where theyreturn for their studies from time totime Banerjee is a professor at Massa-chusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)along with his Paris-born wife EstherDuflo The third Nobel laureate is ProfMichael Kremer who teaches at theneighbouring Harvard University TheRoyal Swedish Academy of Sciencessaid that they were awarded theSveriges Riksbank prize in EconomicSciences in memory of Alfred Nobelfor research findings that have lsquodra-matically improved our ability tofight poverty in practicersquo
The fact that development economicshas taken centre stage before the NobelPrize committee shows that despite all theesoteric new branches of economicsimproving human condition and alleviat-ing poverty remain most important today
Though poverty in the world haddeclined over the years there were 14billion poor in 2005 as per the WorldBank Out of the worldrsquos poor around267 million are in India That is whyBanerjee and Duflo have spent long peri-ods of time in India trying out theirgrassroots level experiments to find thereal causes behind poverty
Development economics for decadeswas based on theory and macroeconom-ic modelling From WW Rostowrsquos theoryof lsquoTake offrsquo to Hirschmanrsquos theory ofbalanced and unbalanced growth devel-opment theory meant prescriptions for abig top-down change in the underdevel-oped economies Banerjee and Duflohave chosen a different path to tacklepoverty by making the poor and their
decision-making vital to the develop-ment process They have gone moredeeply into finding out the nature andcauses of poverty by undertaking a seriesof field experiments to measure crediblywhat sort of policies can make a differ-ence to poverty and related outcomes
Twenty years ago there was a lot ofemphasis on economic theory and moremacroeconomic questions on develop-ment were asked The two Nobel Prizewinners have broken these big questionsof development and studied them likescientists running clinical trials
For example they found that therewere teaching methods in India thatwere insufficiently shaped by the needs
of students Tutoring the low performingpupils improved their achievement last-ingly More than five million childrenhave benefited from effective remedialtutoring during their studies because thepoor may have books but they are unableto learn from them They have also man-aged to inspire state governments to gofor more public investment in preventivehealthcare The Nobel Committee high-lighted how their lsquoexperiment-basedapproachrsquo has transformed develop-ment economics of the past
Thus Banerjee and Duflo have beenmore concerned with measuring whathappens in the real world at the very bot-tom level than sophisticated theoretical
modelling But their experiments aredeeply anchored in theory and they seethe poor as autonomous decision-makerswho are constrained by institutionalinformational monetary and logisticlimitations from doing what couldimprove their condition The Banerjee-Duflo team seeks to learn how the eco-nomic policy of a country can relievethese constraints They have shown thatthere is a need to adopt new approachesin the fight against poverty that arebased on field trials rather than the failedmethods of the past
The use of randomised controlled trials(RCT) to simulate laboratory experi-ments in real-life settings draws on prac-tices from medicine agronomics andsocial sciences RCT intends to breakbigger policy interventions into smallereasier-to-test studies They break issuesinto smaller questions and search for evi-dence about which interventions work toresolve them and seek practical ways tobring these treatments to scale
The essence of their book Poor Eco-nomics can be summed up by their ownsentence in the foreword ldquoWe have toabandon the habit of reducing the poorto cartoon characters and take the timeto really understand their lives in alltheir complexity and richnessrdquo Thebook describes and analyses the choicesthat people living on less than $2 a daymake in India These choices make a lotof sense in reality For instance it iscommon for the poor families to investtheir entire education budget in just onechild usually a son hoping that thischild will make it through secondaryschool and even college
They do not pay as much attention toother children because they think itwould be a waste of resources to spread
the familyrsquos educational budget amongall the children rather than making surethat at least one child reaches his goalBut helping parents understand the val-ue of education is important and has abig impact on running of schools in vil-lages as it can change their educationalchoices Recognising their contributionthe Nobel academy said ldquoTheir experi-mental research methods now entirelydominate development economicsrdquo
The poorrsquos decision-making is thusimportant for solving the malaise ofpoverty as Duflo said recently ldquoPoor peo-ple are supposed to be either completelystupid desperate lazy or entrepreneur-ial But we donrsquot try to understand thedeep root interconnected root of theproblem So what we try to do in ourwork is unpack the problem one by oneto better understand the reason for par-ticular problems What works what does-nrsquot work and whyrdquo
More recently Banerjee advised RahulGandhi on the Nyuntam Aay Yojana(NYAY) scheme for which he suggestedthat the poor should be given Rs 2500 amonth instead of Rs 6000
One common critique of Banerjee andDuflorsquos work is that they donrsquot appreci-ate how hard it is to change the policyand implement the kind of changes thattheir insights into the lives of the poorsuggest They do believe that bigchanges do not work and that the pathforward is not better lsquobig thinkingrsquo butthinking small Improving the lives ofthe poor is primarily a matter of makinga series of small changes in lots of differ-ent domains changes that dont requiremajor political battles or dramaticallychanging the financing structures Thetwo Nobel laureates are thus essentiallyand radically lsquosmall thinkersrsquo
Banerjee and Duflo havechosen a different path totackle poverty by making
the poor and their decision-making vital to thedevelopment process Theyhave gone more deeply intofinding out the nature and
causes of poverty byundertaking a series of field
experiments to measurecredibly what sort of policies can make a
difference to poverty

Particulate matter 25stands for particulate mat-ter less than 25 microns indiameter Particles narrow-er than 10 micrometres aremost hazardous becausethey can get deep into thelungs and some may evenget into the bloodstream

The tool sources saidwould be used in sifting andsegregating raw informationas well as to assist in generat-ing intelligence assessmentsdecision-making and opera-tional planning The use of AIin counter-terrorism alsoassumes significance with thegrowing use of social mediaand online platforms by radi-cal elements as well as otherhostile state agencies to cre-ate social and communal
unrest and incite violenceWhile several government

Input credit means at thetime of paying tax on out-put the seller can reducethe tax which he hasalready paid on inputs Forinstance if tax payable on
output is Rs 1000 and taxpaid on input (purchases)is Rs 800 the manufactur-er can claim input credit ofRs 800 and need to depositRs 200 in taxes

ldquoThe cap of 20 shall beAct wise and not accumulat-ed input tax credit Thismeans that the taxpayer hasto work out 20 for CGST
SGST and IGST separatelyIn case the vendor haswrongly entered the placeof supply and has paid taxesunder wrong head therecipient shall not be able toclaim the ITC till it is recti-fied by the correspondingvendorrdquo said Keshav RGarg a tax consultant

NewDelhi October 15The Boxing Federation ofIndia (BFI) has once againtweaked its selection policyfor the womenrsquos team Nowall the medal winners fromthe World Championshipswill get automatically select-ed for the AsiaOceaniaOlympics qualifier sched-uled to be held in WuhanChina in February 2020
The decision will benefitboth Mary Kom (51kg) andLovlina Borghoin (69kg)who won bronze medals atthe recently-concludedWorld Championships inUlan-Ude Russia
In its earlier communica-tion to the boxers and coach-es BFI had said that thosemaking the cut for the finalsof the World Championshipswill earn direct selection forthe Olympics qualifier Theothers were supposed to gothrough a trial process
Strangely BFI had a differ-ent take for its men boxersFor them winning bronze atthe Worlds would have beenenough to earn a direct shotat the qualifiers It is under-stood that the decision wastaken as the BFI top brassdeemed the womenrsquos compe-tition relatively easier com-pared to the menrsquos
However today BFI presi-dent Ajay Singh said thatthere cannot be differentselection criteria for boththe teams ldquoThe men andwomen will have the sameselection criteria I will makeit official soonrdquo Singh toldThe Tribune on the sidelinesof a felicitation ceremony tohonour the womenrsquos teamthat won four medals
Nikhat left high and dryThe decision means thatNikhat Zareen will not get ashot to clinch a spot for the
first qualifier BFI had con-troversially stopped Nikhatfrom challenging Mary inthe 51kg category afterdeciding not to hold the tri-al despite taking out thedraws in August BFI tookthis arbitrary decision afterMary threatened to notappear in the trial
Todayrsquos decision which isyet to be communicated tothe BFI executive will onceagain leave both Nikhat andVanlal Duati high and dry
Singh explained that thisu-turn came about becauseof the realisation that medalwinners would have wonautomatic qualification forthe 2020 Tokyo Olympicshad it not been for the sus-pension of the internationalboxing association (AIBA) bythe International OlympicCommittee (IOC) ldquoI am clearin my mind but I will have tohave a meeting with my BFIcolleagues about this issueBut my personal opinion isthat whoever has won amedal at the World Champi-onships should automatical-ly take part in the qualifiersrdquoSingh said
Mary surprisedThe decision came as a sur-prise to Mary ldquoI am veryhappy and I am thankfulthat he (president) took thisdecision It also reflectsthat he has belief in myabilitiesrdquo she said
However the federationhas not decided on whathappens if Mary or Lovlinafail to earn qualifications inWuhan A top official saidthat they will take a finaldecision about selection forthe second Olympics quali-fier scheduled to be held inParis in May 2020
ldquoIdeally if she (Mary) does-nrsquot earn qualification thenwe should give a chance toothersrdquo said a BFI official

He however insisted thathis son Rajneet had nothingto do with the day-to-dayadministration of the bankldquoThe day-to-day administra-tion of the bank was handledby Managing Director JoyThomas and other bankemployeesrdquo says Singh
Prominent leaders of theSikh community who havebeen meeting in Mumbaiever since the ReserveBank of India announcedrestrictions on money with-drawal by depositors lastmonth have been dis-cussing various measures tohelp rescue the bank

but thereafter no other leaderfrom this region has succeed-ed to get the coveted postdespite the fact that Ahirwalhas always been a trendsetterin the state politics
ldquoThe slogan of bringinglsquochoudharrsquo to Ahirwal hadworked to such an extent inthe 2014 polls that people ofthe region put all 11 seats inthe BJPrsquos kitty for the firsttime but it couldnrsquot get thepost of the CM However thegovernment elevated threeMLAs of Ahirwal mdash Rao Nar-bir Bikram Yadav and RamBilas mdash to the status of minis-ter besides appointing anoth-er MLA Santosh Yadav asDeputy Speaker of the Vid-han Sabhardquo said NareshChauhan a political analyst

SENIOR JOURNALIST
WHEN Durga Puja wascelebrated in West Ben-gal this year KolkatarsquosKasba locality home to
residents who had endured a statelesslife on being forced out of East Bengal(now Bangladesh) after Partition thepandal used the National Register ofCitizens (NRC) as its theme The miseen scene depicted the struggles wagedby people in piecing together theirlives decades later when they mighthave to lsquoproversquo they are card-carryingIndian citizens failing which they willbe stateless and homeless again A fig-ureless throne placed at the centre ofthe stage fixed on to a globe and out-fitted with a crown and guns symbol-ised state power and coercion
Ironically the NRC shadow loomedover Durga Puja just when the BJPhoped to use the festival as a means ofreaching out to its supporters andexpand its base Amit Shah the HomeMinister and BJP president was invit-ed to inaugurate the community jam-boree in several places although even-tually he confined himself to launchingone Identifying and assimilating itsworld view with the statersquos religiousand social culture was a consideredpart of the BJPrsquos blueprint in WestBengal that was largely unmappedterritory until the 2019 Lok Sabha elec-tion breakthrough came about It wasimportant for the BJP to shake off thetag of a North Indian party confined toKolkatarsquos Hindi-speaking Burrabazar
Initially under the influence of thecoreNorth Indian constituency the tac-tic faltered a little The BJP introducedRam Navami as a pan-Indian festival inWest Bengal but that left no imprint ona region that embraced eclectic forms ofHinduism implanted in the lives andteachings of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu
and Ramakrishna Paramhans Modiand Shah figured out that it was impor-tant to connect with provincial symbolsand icons to enlarge the BJPrsquos reachTherefore the Union Culture Ministrywas directed to mount a permanentexhibit at Kolkatarsquos National Libraryrepresenting Bankim Chandra Chat-topadhyay Tagore Syama PrasadMukherjee and Subhas Chandra BoseOn the ground the endeavour to prop-agate Ram and Hanuman as lsquonational-istrsquo icons continued with vigour so thatwhen it was time for the Lok Sabhapolls large sections of even Bengali-speaking Hindus who traditionallyworshipped Durga Kali and Saraswatiadopted these gods in their iconogra-phy The BJP took care to fuse the reli-gious with the political Ram was vener-ated as an image of desh bhakti ofnationalism because in the partyrsquosreckoning West Bengal had to tran-scend its identity politics and fuse intothe lsquonational mainstreamrsquo
The NRC fiasco in Assam threatenedto obstruct the BJPrsquos long-term plansRather than proceed along the contoursit laid out for decades mdash segregating thelsquoinfiltratorsrsquo from the lsquorefugeesrsquo ofBangladesh and underscoring theirreligious identities while harping on
how the Hindus were lsquodriven outrsquo indroves from across the eastern bordermdash the Assam exercise left out a largenumber of Bengali-speaking Hindusfrom the final NRC Almost as many asthe Muslims The BJP wanted to deportthe Muslim lsquoinfiltratorsrsquo and grant cit-izenship rights to the lsquorefugeesrsquo unlikeits periodic ally the Asom GanaParishad that refused to recognisesuch a distinction What happened tothe BJPrsquos age-old belief
The spectre of a homegrown crisisakin to the predicament of MyanmarrsquosRohingya haunted the hunted ofAssam and possibly West Bengal Mus-lims and Hindus The amended lawrequired that both parents of thoseborn on or after December 4 2004must be Indian citizens The amend-ment overturned the principle of jussoli adopted by the Motilal Nehru Com-mittee in 1928 to confer citizenshipbased on onersquos birthplace The conceptof jus sanguinis or right of blood thatgoverned the amendment stipulatedthat an lsquounlawfulrsquo migrant cannotclaim citizenship by naturalisation orregistration even if he or she resided inIndia for the required seven years
As Shah vowed to bring NRC in WestBengal CM Mamata Banerjee claimed
that Assam would not be repeated inher state Her rationale was that theNRC project in Assam was an outcomeof the accord signed in 1985 betweenthe Centre and the spearheads of theAll Assam Students Union while WestBengal was not dictated to by any suchpact With the emergence of the BJP asher principal opponent and herself fire-fighting allegations of corruption andbad law and order in her backyardMamata seized upon NRC threat as ananti-Bengali issue and alleged that itwas a ploy to evict Bengali-speakingresidents of Assam and jeopardise thepeople of her state Implicit in her argu-ment was the point that by lsquotargetingrsquoBengalis the BJP was going back to itsnorthern roots Indeed BJP insiders inWest Bengal were afraid that NRCmight overshadow the other issuesthey had raised against Mamata
The electoral implications of Shahrsquospitch were not lost on the West BengalBJP Even if the party was unconcernedabout the votes of the minorities it hadother ethnic groups to worry about In2019 the BJP had won over the Matuathe second largest Dalit grouping bywooing its influencers The Matua wereoriginally from Bangladesh Somecame to West Bengal immediately afterPartition while others after 1971 TheMatua votes count in nearly 40 of the295 Assembly seats The Matua settlersalso feared their future
To assuage the apprehensions Shahmdash who rarely if ever diluted his stancesmdash repeatedly stated that Hindus had noreason to be afraid because the Centrewould reintroduce the CitizenshipAmendment (2014) Bill and ensure itspassage If that is accomplished theminorities (Hindu Sikh Buddhist Jainand Christian) who migrated unlawful-ly from Bangladesh Pakistan andAfghanistan can continue living here
NRC does not reverberate only inthe districts bordering BangladeshAfter nearly one lakh persons fromthe Gorkha ethnic group weredropped from Assamrsquos citizenshipregister West Bengalrsquos Gorkhasfeared a similar fate In the end NRCwas less about faith and more aboutthe loss of human dignity and keep-ing body and soul together

Handholding have-notsNobel to Banerjee colleagues can spur fight against poverty
POVERTY alleviation might be a mere slogan in politics convenient-ly used during the elections to woo underprivileged voters but itrsquosa perennial challenge in development economics that has to be con-
fronted with sustained and sincere efforts The Nobel Prize to US-basedeconomists Abhijit Banerjee Esther Duflo and Michael Kremer is well-deserved recognition of their role in fighting poverty that has lsquohelpedmillions of children by favouring practical steps over theoryrsquo The hon-our is expected to give a fillip to the global battle against deprivation anddestitution According to the United Nationsrsquo estimates global povertyhas been reduced by more than half since 2000 yet 10 per cent of the peo-ple in developing regions still live on less than $19 (around Rs 136) a day
Banerjee and Duflo are founder-directors of the Abdul Latif JameelPoverty Action Lab (J-PAL) a worldwide network of researchers thatconducts studies as well as field experiments Their team has pio-neered randomised controlled trials (RCTs) in economics used sincelong in the field of medicine to examine the impact of treatment onone group of people while another group is given just a placebo Theystudied remedial tutoring programmes in schools of Mumbai andVadodara and brought in new teaching assistants who would help chil-dren with special needs On the basis of their experiments they con-cluded that providing more textbooks and free meals on the campushad only minor effect while targeted help for weak students made ahuge difference to overall educational levels Itrsquos true that such microinterventions can never give us the macroeconomic view but theirtransformative influence canrsquot be underestimated
India-born Banerjee has been critical of the Centrersquos economic deci-sions mdash he called demonetisation a weird move mdash but his straight talkshould not discourage the Modi government from utilising his invaluableexperience to undertake reforms in education and healthcare Former UNSecretary-General Kofi Annan once said lsquoThe biggest enemy of healthin the developing world is povertyrsquo India needs the best minds to tacklethe hydra-headed problem that is impeding growth and amplifying socialinequality lsquoGaribi hataorsquo should not remain a poll promise
Air quality concernsNo easy solution to farm fires in Punjab Haryana
THE burning of crop stubble is a problem that comes back to hauntPunjab and Haryana every year The bearing it has on pollution lev-els in Delhi has made the Supreme Court seek a status report from
the Ministry of Environment on the recommendations of a task force toprevent straw burning On Sunday night the air quality in Delhi was cat-egorised as lsquovery poorrsquo While the AAP government there prepares toimplement the odd-even scheme from November 4 to 15 what is worryingis that the problem has started early This is mainly because the sowing ofpaddy began early this year on June 13 leading to early harvesting andthe resultant early burning of crop residue Also there is a narrow timeperiod for clearing the field of the straw so that wheat can be sown mdash aboutthree weeks mdash and farmers prefer the easy way out mdash of burning the stub-ble despite deterrents like fines lodging of criminal cases and seizure ofland records Employing manpower to remove the stubble is difficultbecause with the growing mechanisation of agriculture and implementa-tion of schemes like MGNREGA migration of work force to the northernstates has reduced Also implements to clear the straw come at a cost
The NGT had in 2015 made burning of crop residue a crime But thereis no easy solution Farmers demand cash subsidy to plough stubble backinto the fields or use mechanised means to lift it and also believe that push-ing the residue back into the soil may increase chances of a pest attack
The paddy-wheat cycle is an offshoot of the Green Revolution thatchanged the prevalent cropping pattern of maize millet pulses andoilseeds The MSP encouraged paddy cultivation increasing the areaunder it The ICAR and agricultural universities promote awarenesscampaigns setting up centres for hiring implements to manage cropresidue and using alternatives like extraction of bio-fuel from straw Butwith farmers forming a potent political pressure group governmentsare wary of tackling the problem
The polarising exercise may do BJP more harm than good

THE award of the 2019 NobelPrize in Economics to AbhijitBanerjee and Esther Duflo ofthe Massachusetts Institute

Duflo is only the second woman econ-omist to win this prize since it was insti-tuted in 1969 The first was ElinorOstrom for her analysis of economicgovernance especially relating to lsquocom-monrsquo ecological resources thus raisingthe status of ecological economics Duflo(46) is also the youngest-ever winner ofthis prize along with being the onlywoman among this yearrsquos 16 NobelPrize winners Gender bias remains anold problem of this prize The most cele-brated woman economist of all timesJoan Robinson of Cambridge Universi-ty was never given this prize due to ide-ological reasons though her work onimperfect competition has been pio-neering in breaking the assumptions ofperfectly competitive markets
It has been my experience on teachingdevelopment economics that whenever Itaught the topic of gender bias in eco-nomic theory and policy the women stu-dents have loved it and have felt inspiredwhile most not all men students feeluncomfortable about being told thateven the central concept of macro-eco-nomics ie gross domestic product(GDP) is gender-biased because it isbased on measuring marketable goodsand services and consequently ignoreswomenrsquos work in the household
Abhijit Banerjee Duflorsquos husband andPhD supervisor is a former student ofJawaharlal Nehru University The facul-ty and students of this university have
been under vicious attack for manyyears from the government of their owncountry One hopes that this prize willmake those who govern higher educa-tion in India feel proud of this universi-ty and value its academic resources mdashthe faculty and the students
The prize honours the field of develop-ment economics and draws attention tothe global challenge of reducing povertywhich continues to damage the lives ofmillions Globally more than 700 millionpeople live in extreme poverty even ifone accepts the questionable World Bankdefinition of poverty as living on lessthan $190 per day Many millions livejust marginally above this poverty lineand are categorised as lsquovulnerable poorrsquoOne in three children is malnourishedand most children in the developing
world leave school without basic skills inreading writing and mathematics
Banerjee and Duflo have done work onIndia and Kremer on Africa especiallyKenya This prize will open more doorsfor their work but it is also going to opento much sharper scrutiny than it has beensubjected to so far I read their book PoorEconomics A radical rethinking of theway to fight global poverty soon after itcame out I was impressed by their stylebut unconvinced by their argument
The most serious criticism from amethodological point of view is that theirapproach individualises poverty and theroute out of poverty Since their ran-domised controlled trials (RCTs) methodis borrowed from clinical medicine onecan take the example from that field toexplain the problem with this method A
doctor can individualise an illness (sayobesity) prescribe some medicine whichcan provide temporary relief to thepatient important in itself but if that ill-ness (obesity) is widespread it will show aserious weakness of the medical profes-sion if it were not to look into the generalconditions of society that lead to obesitynamely the pattern of food consumptionthe nature of work and employment andthe marketing of food products etc As wecannot throw the entire blame for obesi-ty on to an obese person it is intellectual-ly and morally flawed to blame a poor per-son for hisher poverty
The RCT method believes that theproblem a poor person faces involvessmall modifications (called lsquointerven-tionsrsquo) in the existing methods of hisherdealing with the problem and the ques-
tion is merely of testing which smallmodifications will eventfully work Themethod therefore celebrates lsquowhatworksrsquo and gives the false impression ofbeing very practical and not theoretical
A still higher order of methodologicalproblem emerges when a suggestedintervention is lsquoscaled uprsquo ie gener-alised without considering different con-texts The macro dimensions of povertyie structure of property relations thepattern of income distribution theunequal bargaining powers betweenemployers and employees the nature ofpatriarchal relations the hierarchy ofcaste relations and identity issues ofmajority-minority are just brushed asideas lsquoconfoundingrsquo variables
The other serious methodological flawof the RCT approach that has beenpointed out by ethnographic studies ofpoverty is that its overemphasis onquantitative method has deprived it ofthe insights of qualitative methodsThere is some recognition of this flaw byadmitting that mixed method approachcan be useful but the approach remainsintrinsically hostile to qualitative meth-ods The econometricians have attackedthe RCT approach from the oppositeangle ie identification problem inselecting the samples for testing theeffectiveness of chosen interventionsMoral philosophers have raised ques-tions of ethics in choosing the poorestThird World people for experimentation
The reason this approach is popularwith politicians aid agencies and globalpolicy-makers is that they want to seequick results of their specific interven-tions rather than troubling themselveswith the structural causes of poverty andthe transformational changes requiredto deal with mass poverty

A serious methodologicalflaw of the RCT approachthat has been pointed outby ethnographic studies
of poverty is that itsoveremphasis on
quantitative method hasdeprived it of the insights ofqualitative methods Thereis some recognition of the
flaw by admitting that amixed method approach
can be useful but theapproach remains hostile
to qualitative methods
VULNERABLE POOR Transformational change is required to deal with mass poverty
A BHIJIT Banerjee and fellowBengali Amartya Sen bothNobel laureates in Econom-ics live in the US but their
focus of attention is India where theyreturn for their studies from time totime Banerjee is a professor at Massa-chusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)along with his Paris-born wife EstherDuflo The third Nobel laureate is ProfMichael Kremer who teaches at theneighbouring Harvard University TheRoyal Swedish Academy of Sciencessaid that they were awarded theSveriges Riksbank prize in EconomicSciences in memory of Alfred Nobelfor research findings that have lsquodra-matically improved our ability tofight poverty in practicersquo
The fact that development economicshas taken centre stage before the NobelPrize committee shows that despite all theesoteric new branches of economicsimproving human condition and alleviat-ing poverty remain most important today
Though poverty in the world haddeclined over the years there were 14billion poor in 2005 as per the WorldBank Out of the worldrsquos poor around267 million are in India That is whyBanerjee and Duflo have spent long peri-ods of time in India trying out theirgrassroots level experiments to find thereal causes behind poverty
Development economics for decadeswas based on theory and macroeconom-ic modelling From WW Rostowrsquos theoryof lsquoTake offrsquo to Hirschmanrsquos theory ofbalanced and unbalanced growth devel-opment theory meant prescriptions for abig top-down change in the underdevel-oped economies Banerjee and Duflohave chosen a different path to tacklepoverty by making the poor and their
decision-making vital to the develop-ment process They have gone moredeeply into finding out the nature andcauses of poverty by undertaking a seriesof field experiments to measure crediblywhat sort of policies can make a differ-ence to poverty and related outcomes
Twenty years ago there was a lot ofemphasis on economic theory and moremacroeconomic questions on develop-ment were asked The two Nobel Prizewinners have broken these big questionsof development and studied them likescientists running clinical trials
For example they found that therewere teaching methods in India thatwere insufficiently shaped by the needs
of students Tutoring the low performingpupils improved their achievement last-ingly More than five million childrenhave benefited from effective remedialtutoring during their studies because thepoor may have books but they are unableto learn from them They have also man-aged to inspire state governments to gofor more public investment in preventivehealthcare The Nobel Committee high-lighted how their lsquoexperiment-basedapproachrsquo has transformed develop-ment economics of the past
Thus Banerjee and Duflo have beenmore concerned with measuring whathappens in the real world at the very bot-tom level than sophisticated theoretical
modelling But their experiments aredeeply anchored in theory and they seethe poor as autonomous decision-makerswho are constrained by institutionalinformational monetary and logisticlimitations from doing what couldimprove their condition The Banerjee-Duflo team seeks to learn how the eco-nomic policy of a country can relievethese constraints They have shown thatthere is a need to adopt new approachesin the fight against poverty that arebased on field trials rather than the failedmethods of the past
The use of randomised controlled trials(RCT) to simulate laboratory experi-ments in real-life settings draws on prac-tices from medicine agronomics andsocial sciences RCT intends to breakbigger policy interventions into smallereasier-to-test studies They break issuesinto smaller questions and search for evi-dence about which interventions work toresolve them and seek practical ways tobring these treatments to scale
The essence of their book Poor Eco-nomics can be summed up by their ownsentence in the foreword ldquoWe have toabandon the habit of reducing the poorto cartoon characters and take the timeto really understand their lives in alltheir complexity and richnessrdquo Thebook describes and analyses the choicesthat people living on less than $2 a daymake in India These choices make a lotof sense in reality For instance it iscommon for the poor families to investtheir entire education budget in just onechild usually a son hoping that thischild will make it through secondaryschool and even college
They do not pay as much attention toother children because they think itwould be a waste of resources to spread
the familyrsquos educational budget amongall the children rather than making surethat at least one child reaches his goalBut helping parents understand the val-ue of education is important and has abig impact on running of schools in vil-lages as it can change their educationalchoices Recognising their contributionthe Nobel academy said ldquoTheir experi-mental research methods now entirelydominate development economicsrdquo
The poorrsquos decision-making is thusimportant for solving the malaise ofpoverty as Duflo said recently ldquoPoor peo-ple are supposed to be either completelystupid desperate lazy or entrepreneur-ial But we donrsquot try to understand thedeep root interconnected root of theproblem So what we try to do in ourwork is unpack the problem one by oneto better understand the reason for par-ticular problems What works what does-nrsquot work and whyrdquo
More recently Banerjee advised RahulGandhi on the Nyuntam Aay Yojana(NYAY) scheme for which he suggestedthat the poor should be given Rs 2500 amonth instead of Rs 6000
One common critique of Banerjee andDuflorsquos work is that they donrsquot appreci-ate how hard it is to change the policyand implement the kind of changes thattheir insights into the lives of the poorsuggest They do believe that bigchanges do not work and that the pathforward is not better lsquobig thinkingrsquo butthinking small Improving the lives ofthe poor is primarily a matter of makinga series of small changes in lots of differ-ent domains changes that dont requiremajor political battles or dramaticallychanging the financing structures Thetwo Nobel laureates are thus essentiallyand radically lsquosmall thinkersrsquo
Banerjee and Duflo havechosen a different path totackle poverty by making
the poor and their decision-making vital to thedevelopment process Theyhave gone more deeply intofinding out the nature and
causes of poverty byundertaking a series of field
experiments to measurecredibly what sort of policies can make a
difference to poverty

Chandigarh October 15The Centrersquos recent notifica-tion restricting the input taxcredit (ITC) to 20 for anentity if its supplier has notuploaded relevant invoiceshas not gone well withMSMEs of the region Thegovernment has introducedthe new rule to keep a checkon fake ITC claims
However already reelingunder slowdown and creditcrunch the MSMEs feel itwill affect block their work-ing capital and enhancecompliance burden
Input credit means at thetime of paying tax on out-put the seller can reducethe tax which he hasalready paid on inputs Forinstance if tax payable on
output is Rs 1000 and taxpaid on input (purchases)is Rs 800 the manufactur-er can claim input credit ofRs 800 and need to depositRs 200 in taxes
According to the notifica-tion ITC to be availed by aregistered person in respectof invoices or debit notesthe details of which havenot been uploaded by thesuppliers under sub-section(1) of Section 37 shall notexceed 20 of the eligiblecredit available in respect ofinvoices or debit notes thedetails of which have beenuploaded by the suppliers[in Form GSTR-1]
ldquoThe cap of 20 shall beAct wise and not accumulat-ed input tax credit Thismeans that the taxpayer hasto work out 20 for CGST
SGST and IGST separatelyIn case the vendor haswrongly entered the placeof supply and has paid taxesunder wrong head therecipient shall not be able toclaim the ITC till it is recti-fied by the correspondingvendorrdquo said Keshav RGarg a tax consultant
The northern region isthe hub of MSMEs withnearly three lakh unitsacross Punjab HaryanaChandigarh HP and JampK
ldquoPreviously companieswere allowed to self-assesstheir ITC claims on thebasis of invoice copy with-out any such restrictions asnotified recently Now evenin case of slight mismatchthe ITC will be upheld andaffect buyer-seller relation-ship besides blocking pre-
cious working capitalrdquo saidBadish Jindal presidentFederation of Punjab SmallIndustries Association
Industrialists rued that theMSMEs were already facinghurdles in claiming ITC andwith this new notificationthey would have to go extramile to ensure that vendorsupload their invoices so thatthey can claim the taxamount paid on inputs orpurchases The GSTR-2A isa purchase-related taxreturn that is automaticallygenerated for each businessby the GST portal when aseller files his GSTR-1 ldquoSothe amendment may bringan incumbent task of regu-larly matching ITC details oftaxpayers with those appear-ing in his GSTR-2A returnrdquosaid another tax consultant

NewDelhi October 15The Boxing Federation ofIndia (BFI) has once againtweaked its selection policyfor the womenrsquos team Nowall the medal winners fromthe World Championshipswill get automatically select-ed for the AsiaOceaniaOlympics qualifier sched-uled to be held in WuhanChina in February 2020
The decision will benefitboth Mary Kom (51kg) andLovlina Borghoin (69kg)who won bronze medals atthe recently-concludedWorld Championships inUlan-Ude Russia
In its earlier communica-tion to the boxers and coach-es BFI had said that thosemaking the cut for the finalsof the World Championshipswill earn direct selection forthe Olympics qualifier Theothers were supposed to gothrough a trial process
Strangely BFI had a differ-ent take for its men boxersFor them winning bronze atthe Worlds would have beenenough to earn a direct shotat the qualifiers It is under-stood that the decision wastaken as the BFI top brassdeemed the womenrsquos compe-tition relatively easier com-pared to the menrsquos
However today BFI presi-dent Ajay Singh said thatthere cannot be differentselection criteria for boththe teams ldquoThe men andwomen will have the sameselection criteria I will makeit official soonrdquo Singh toldThe Tribune on the sidelinesof a felicitation ceremony tohonour the womenrsquos teamthat won four medals
Nikhat left high and dryThe decision means thatNikhat Zareen will not get ashot to clinch a spot for the
first qualifier BFI had con-troversially stopped Nikhatfrom challenging Mary inthe 51kg category afterdeciding not to hold the tri-al despite taking out thedraws in August BFI tookthis arbitrary decision afterMary threatened to notappear in the trial
Todayrsquos decision which isyet to be communicated tothe BFI executive will onceagain leave both Nikhat andVanlal Duati high and dry
Singh explained that thisu-turn came about becauseof the realisation that medalwinners would have wonautomatic qualification forthe 2020 Tokyo Olympicshad it not been for the sus-pension of the internationalboxing association (AIBA) bythe International OlympicCommittee (IOC) ldquoI am clearin my mind but I will have tohave a meeting with my BFIcolleagues about this issueBut my personal opinion isthat whoever has won amedal at the World Champi-onships should automatical-ly take part in the qualifiersrdquoSingh said
Mary surprisedThe decision came as a sur-prise to Mary ldquoI am veryhappy and I am thankfulthat he (president) took thisdecision It also reflectsthat he has belief in myabilitiesrdquo she said
However the federationhas not decided on whathappens if Mary or Lovlinafail to earn qualifications inWuhan A top official saidthat they will take a finaldecision about selection forthe second Olympics quali-fier scheduled to be held inParis in May 2020
ldquoIdeally if she (Mary) does-nrsquot earn qualification thenwe should give a chance toothersrdquo said a BFI official

SENIOR JOURNALIST
WHEN Durga Puja wascelebrated in West Ben-gal this year KolkatarsquosKasba locality home to
residents who had endured a statelesslife on being forced out of East Bengal(now Bangladesh) after Partition thepandal used the National Register ofCitizens (NRC) as its theme The miseen scene depicted the struggles wagedby people in piecing together theirlives decades later when they mighthave to lsquoproversquo they are card-carryingIndian citizens failing which they willbe stateless and homeless again A fig-ureless throne placed at the centre ofthe stage fixed on to a globe and out-fitted with a crown and guns symbol-ised state power and coercion
Ironically the NRC shadow loomedover Durga Puja just when the BJPhoped to use the festival as a means ofreaching out to its supporters andexpand its base Amit Shah the HomeMinister and BJP president was invit-ed to inaugurate the community jam-boree in several places although even-tually he confined himself to launchingone Identifying and assimilating itsworld view with the statersquos religiousand social culture was a consideredpart of the BJPrsquos blueprint in WestBengal that was largely unmappedterritory until the 2019 Lok Sabha elec-tion breakthrough came about It wasimportant for the BJP to shake off thetag of a North Indian party confined toKolkatarsquos Hindi-speaking Burrabazar
Initially under the influence of thecoreNorth Indian constituency the tac-tic faltered a little The BJP introducedRam Navami as a pan-Indian festival inWest Bengal but that left no imprint ona region that embraced eclectic forms ofHinduism implanted in the lives andteachings of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu
and Ramakrishna Paramhans Modiand Shah figured out that it was impor-tant to connect with provincial symbolsand icons to enlarge the BJPrsquos reachTherefore the Union Culture Ministrywas directed to mount a permanentexhibit at Kolkatarsquos National Libraryrepresenting Bankim Chandra Chat-topadhyay Tagore Syama PrasadMukherjee and Subhas Chandra BoseOn the ground the endeavour to prop-agate Ram and Hanuman as lsquonational-istrsquo icons continued with vigour so thatwhen it was time for the Lok Sabhapolls large sections of even Bengali-speaking Hindus who traditionallyworshipped Durga Kali and Saraswatiadopted these gods in their iconogra-phy The BJP took care to fuse the reli-gious with the political Ram was vener-ated as an image of desh bhakti ofnationalism because in the partyrsquosreckoning West Bengal had to tran-scend its identity politics and fuse intothe lsquonational mainstreamrsquo
The NRC fiasco in Assam threatenedto obstruct the BJPrsquos long-term plansRather than proceed along the contoursit laid out for decades mdash segregating thelsquoinfiltratorsrsquo from the lsquorefugeesrsquo ofBangladesh and underscoring theirreligious identities while harping on
how the Hindus were lsquodriven outrsquo indroves from across the eastern bordermdash the Assam exercise left out a largenumber of Bengali-speaking Hindusfrom the final NRC Almost as many asthe Muslims The BJP wanted to deportthe Muslim lsquoinfiltratorsrsquo and grant cit-izenship rights to the lsquorefugeesrsquo unlikeits periodic ally the Asom GanaParishad that refused to recognisesuch a distinction What happened tothe BJPrsquos age-old belief
The spectre of a homegrown crisisakin to the predicament of MyanmarrsquosRohingya haunted the hunted ofAssam and possibly West Bengal Mus-lims and Hindus The amended lawrequired that both parents of thoseborn on or after December 4 2004must be Indian citizens The amend-ment overturned the principle of jussoli adopted by the Motilal Nehru Com-mittee in 1928 to confer citizenshipbased on onersquos birthplace The conceptof jus sanguinis or right of blood thatgoverned the amendment stipulatedthat an lsquounlawfulrsquo migrant cannotclaim citizenship by naturalisation orregistration even if he or she resided inIndia for the required seven years
As Shah vowed to bring NRC in WestBengal CM Mamata Banerjee claimed
that Assam would not be repeated inher state Her rationale was that theNRC project in Assam was an outcomeof the accord signed in 1985 betweenthe Centre and the spearheads of theAll Assam Students Union while WestBengal was not dictated to by any suchpact With the emergence of the BJP asher principal opponent and herself fire-fighting allegations of corruption andbad law and order in her backyardMamata seized upon NRC threat as ananti-Bengali issue and alleged that itwas a ploy to evict Bengali-speakingresidents of Assam and jeopardise thepeople of her state Implicit in her argu-ment was the point that by lsquotargetingrsquoBengalis the BJP was going back to itsnorthern roots Indeed BJP insiders inWest Bengal were afraid that NRCmight overshadow the other issuesthey had raised against Mamata
The electoral implications of Shahrsquospitch were not lost on the West BengalBJP Even if the party was unconcernedabout the votes of the minorities it hadother ethnic groups to worry about In2019 the BJP had won over the Matuathe second largest Dalit grouping bywooing its influencers The Matua wereoriginally from Bangladesh Somecame to West Bengal immediately afterPartition while others after 1971 TheMatua votes count in nearly 40 of the295 Assembly seats The Matua settlersalso feared their future
To assuage the apprehensions Shahmdash who rarely if ever diluted his stancesmdash repeatedly stated that Hindus had noreason to be afraid because the Centrewould reintroduce the CitizenshipAmendment (2014) Bill and ensure itspassage If that is accomplished theminorities (Hindu Sikh Buddhist Jainand Christian) who migrated unlawful-ly from Bangladesh Pakistan andAfghanistan can continue living here
NRC does not reverberate only inthe districts bordering BangladeshAfter nearly one lakh persons fromthe Gorkha ethnic group weredropped from Assamrsquos citizenshipregister West Bengalrsquos Gorkhasfeared a similar fate In the end NRCwas less about faith and more aboutthe loss of human dignity and keep-ing body and soul together

Handholding have-notsNobel to Banerjee colleagues can spur fight against poverty
POVERTY alleviation might be a mere slogan in politics convenient-ly used during the elections to woo underprivileged voters but itrsquosa perennial challenge in development economics that has to be con-
fronted with sustained and sincere efforts The Nobel Prize to US-basedeconomists Abhijit Banerjee Esther Duflo and Michael Kremer is well-deserved recognition of their role in fighting poverty that has lsquohelpedmillions of children by favouring practical steps over theoryrsquo The hon-our is expected to give a fillip to the global battle against deprivation anddestitution According to the United Nationsrsquo estimates global povertyhas been reduced by more than half since 2000 yet 10 per cent of the peo-ple in developing regions still live on less than $19 (around Rs 136) a day
Banerjee and Duflo are founder-directors of the Abdul Latif JameelPoverty Action Lab (J-PAL) a worldwide network of researchers thatconducts studies as well as field experiments Their team has pio-neered randomised controlled trials (RCTs) in economics used sincelong in the field of medicine to examine the impact of treatment onone group of people while another group is given just a placebo Theystudied remedial tutoring programmes in schools of Mumbai andVadodara and brought in new teaching assistants who would help chil-dren with special needs On the basis of their experiments they con-cluded that providing more textbooks and free meals on the campushad only minor effect while targeted help for weak students made ahuge difference to overall educational levels Itrsquos true that such microinterventions can never give us the macroeconomic view but theirtransformative influence canrsquot be underestimated
India-born Banerjee has been critical of the Centrersquos economic deci-sions mdash he called demonetisation a weird move mdash but his straight talkshould not discourage the Modi government from utilising his invaluableexperience to undertake reforms in education and healthcare Former UNSecretary-General Kofi Annan once said lsquoThe biggest enemy of healthin the developing world is povertyrsquo India needs the best minds to tacklethe hydra-headed problem that is impeding growth and amplifying socialinequality lsquoGaribi hataorsquo should not remain a poll promise
Air quality concernsNo easy solution to farm fires in Punjab Haryana
THE burning of crop stubble is a problem that comes back to hauntPunjab and Haryana every year The bearing it has on pollution lev-els in Delhi has made the Supreme Court seek a status report from
the Ministry of Environment on the recommendations of a task force toprevent straw burning On Sunday night the air quality in Delhi was cat-egorised as lsquovery poorrsquo While the AAP government there prepares toimplement the odd-even scheme from November 4 to 15 what is worryingis that the problem has started early This is mainly because the sowing ofpaddy began early this year on June 13 leading to early harvesting andthe resultant early burning of crop residue Also there is a narrow timeperiod for clearing the field of the straw so that wheat can be sown mdash aboutthree weeks mdash and farmers prefer the easy way out mdash of burning the stub-ble despite deterrents like fines lodging of criminal cases and seizure ofland records Employing manpower to remove the stubble is difficultbecause with the growing mechanisation of agriculture and implementa-tion of schemes like MGNREGA migration of work force to the northernstates has reduced Also implements to clear the straw come at a cost
The NGT had in 2015 made burning of crop residue a crime But thereis no easy solution Farmers demand cash subsidy to plough stubble backinto the fields or use mechanised means to lift it and also believe that push-ing the residue back into the soil may increase chances of a pest attack
The paddy-wheat cycle is an offshoot of the Green Revolution thatchanged the prevalent cropping pattern of maize millet pulses andoilseeds The MSP encouraged paddy cultivation increasing the areaunder it The ICAR and agricultural universities promote awarenesscampaigns setting up centres for hiring implements to manage cropresidue and using alternatives like extraction of bio-fuel from straw Butwith farmers forming a potent political pressure group governmentsare wary of tackling the problem
The polarising exercise may do BJP more harm than good

THE award of the 2019 NobelPrize in Economics to AbhijitBanerjee and Esther Duflo ofthe Massachusetts Institute
of Technology (MIT) and Michael Kre-mer of Harvard University deservesnot only to be celebrated but also crit-ically reflected upon
Duflo is only the second woman econ-omist to win this prize since it was insti-tuted in 1969 The first was ElinorOstrom for her analysis of economicgovernance especially relating to lsquocom-monrsquo ecological resources thus raisingthe status of ecological economics Duflo(46) is also the youngest-ever winner ofthis prize along with being the onlywoman among this yearrsquos 16 NobelPrize winners Gender bias remains anold problem of this prize The most cele-brated woman economist of all timesJoan Robinson of Cambridge Universi-ty was never given this prize due to ide-ological reasons though her work onimperfect competition has been pio-neering in breaking the assumptions ofperfectly competitive markets
It has been my experience on teachingdevelopment economics that whenever Itaught the topic of gender bias in eco-nomic theory and policy the women stu-dents have loved it and have felt inspiredwhile most not all men students feeluncomfortable about being told thateven the central concept of macro-eco-nomics ie gross domestic product(GDP) is gender-biased because it isbased on measuring marketable goodsand services and consequently ignoreswomenrsquos work in the household
Abhijit Banerjee Duflorsquos husband andPhD supervisor is a former student ofJawaharlal Nehru University The facul-ty and students of this university have
been under vicious attack for manyyears from the government of their owncountry One hopes that this prize willmake those who govern higher educa-tion in India feel proud of this universi-ty and value its academic resources mdashthe faculty and the students
The prize honours the field of develop-ment economics and draws attention tothe global challenge of reducing povertywhich continues to damage the lives ofmillions Globally more than 700 millionpeople live in extreme poverty even ifone accepts the questionable World Bankdefinition of poverty as living on lessthan $190 per day Many millions livejust marginally above this poverty lineand are categorised as lsquovulnerable poorrsquoOne in three children is malnourishedand most children in the developing
world leave school without basic skills inreading writing and mathematics
Banerjee and Duflo have done work onIndia and Kremer on Africa especiallyKenya This prize will open more doorsfor their work but it is also going to opento much sharper scrutiny than it has beensubjected to so far I read their book PoorEconomics A radical rethinking of theway to fight global poverty soon after itcame out I was impressed by their stylebut unconvinced by their argument
The most serious criticism from amethodological point of view is that theirapproach individualises poverty and theroute out of poverty Since their ran-domised controlled trials (RCTs) methodis borrowed from clinical medicine onecan take the example from that field toexplain the problem with this method A
doctor can individualise an illness (sayobesity) prescribe some medicine whichcan provide temporary relief to thepatient important in itself but if that ill-ness (obesity) is widespread it will show aserious weakness of the medical profes-sion if it were not to look into the generalconditions of society that lead to obesitynamely the pattern of food consumptionthe nature of work and employment andthe marketing of food products etc As wecannot throw the entire blame for obesi-ty on to an obese person it is intellectual-ly and morally flawed to blame a poor per-son for hisher poverty
The RCT method believes that theproblem a poor person faces involvessmall modifications (called lsquointerven-tionsrsquo) in the existing methods of hisherdealing with the problem and the ques-
tion is merely of testing which smallmodifications will eventfully work Themethod therefore celebrates lsquowhatworksrsquo and gives the false impression ofbeing very practical and not theoretical
A still higher order of methodologicalproblem emerges when a suggestedintervention is lsquoscaled uprsquo ie gener-alised without considering different con-texts The macro dimensions of povertyie structure of property relations thepattern of income distribution theunequal bargaining powers betweenemployers and employees the nature ofpatriarchal relations the hierarchy ofcaste relations and identity issues ofmajority-minority are just brushed asideas lsquoconfoundingrsquo variables
The other serious methodological flawof the RCT approach that has beenpointed out by ethnographic studies ofpoverty is that its overemphasis onquantitative method has deprived it ofthe insights of qualitative methodsThere is some recognition of this flaw byadmitting that mixed method approachcan be useful but the approach remainsintrinsically hostile to qualitative meth-ods The econometricians have attackedthe RCT approach from the oppositeangle ie identification problem inselecting the samples for testing theeffectiveness of chosen interventionsMoral philosophers have raised ques-tions of ethics in choosing the poorestThird World people for experimentation
The reason this approach is popularwith politicians aid agencies and globalpolicy-makers is that they want to seequick results of their specific interven-tions rather than troubling themselveswith the structural causes of poverty andthe transformational changes requiredto deal with mass poverty

A serious methodologicalflaw of the RCT approachthat has been pointed outby ethnographic studies
of poverty is that itsoveremphasis on
quantitative method hasdeprived it of the insights ofqualitative methods Thereis some recognition of the
flaw by admitting that amixed method approach
can be useful but theapproach remains hostile
to qualitative methods
VULNERABLE POOR Transformational change is required to deal with mass poverty
A BHIJIT Banerjee and fellowBengali Amartya Sen bothNobel laureates in Econom-ics live in the US but their
focus of attention is India where theyreturn for their studies from time totime Banerjee is a professor at Massa-chusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)along with his Paris-born wife EstherDuflo The third Nobel laureate is ProfMichael Kremer who teaches at theneighbouring Harvard University TheRoyal Swedish Academy of Sciencessaid that they were awarded theSveriges Riksbank prize in EconomicSciences in memory of Alfred Nobelfor research findings that have lsquodra-matically improved our ability tofight poverty in practicersquo
The fact that development economicshas taken centre stage before the NobelPrize committee shows that despite all theesoteric new branches of economicsimproving human condition and alleviat-ing poverty remain most important today
Though poverty in the world haddeclined over the years there were 14billion poor in 2005 as per the WorldBank Out of the worldrsquos poor around267 million are in India That is whyBanerjee and Duflo have spent long peri-ods of time in India trying out theirgrassroots level experiments to find thereal causes behind poverty
Development economics for decadeswas based on theory and macroeconom-ic modelling From WW Rostowrsquos theoryof lsquoTake offrsquo to Hirschmanrsquos theory ofbalanced and unbalanced growth devel-opment theory meant prescriptions for abig top-down change in the underdevel-oped economies Banerjee and Duflohave chosen a different path to tacklepoverty by making the poor and their
decision-making vital to the develop-ment process They have gone moredeeply into finding out the nature andcauses of poverty by undertaking a seriesof field experiments to measure crediblywhat sort of policies can make a differ-ence to poverty and related outcomes
Twenty years ago there was a lot ofemphasis on economic theory and moremacroeconomic questions on develop-ment were asked The two Nobel Prizewinners have broken these big questionsof development and studied them likescientists running clinical trials
For example they found that therewere teaching methods in India thatwere insufficiently shaped by the needs
of students Tutoring the low performingpupils improved their achievement last-ingly More than five million childrenhave benefited from effective remedialtutoring during their studies because thepoor may have books but they are unableto learn from them They have also man-aged to inspire state governments to gofor more public investment in preventivehealthcare The Nobel Committee high-lighted how their lsquoexperiment-basedapproachrsquo has transformed develop-ment economics of the past
Thus Banerjee and Duflo have beenmore concerned with measuring whathappens in the real world at the very bot-tom level than sophisticated theoretical
modelling But their experiments aredeeply anchored in theory and they seethe poor as autonomous decision-makerswho are constrained by institutionalinformational monetary and logisticlimitations from doing what couldimprove their condition The Banerjee-Duflo team seeks to learn how the eco-nomic policy of a country can relievethese constraints They have shown thatthere is a need to adopt new approachesin the fight against poverty that arebased on field trials rather than the failedmethods of the past
The use of randomised controlled trials(RCT) to simulate laboratory experi-ments in real-life settings draws on prac-tices from medicine agronomics andsocial sciences RCT intends to breakbigger policy interventions into smallereasier-to-test studies They break issuesinto smaller questions and search for evi-dence about which interventions work toresolve them and seek practical ways tobring these treatments to scale
The essence of their book Poor Eco-nomics can be summed up by their ownsentence in the foreword ldquoWe have toabandon the habit of reducing the poorto cartoon characters and take the timeto really understand their lives in alltheir complexity and richnessrdquo Thebook describes and analyses the choicesthat people living on less than $2 a daymake in India These choices make a lotof sense in reality For instance it iscommon for the poor families to investtheir entire education budget in just onechild usually a son hoping that thischild will make it through secondaryschool and even college
They do not pay as much attention toother children because they think itwould be a waste of resources to spread
the familyrsquos educational budget amongall the children rather than making surethat at least one child reaches his goalBut helping parents understand the val-ue of education is important and has abig impact on running of schools in vil-lages as it can change their educationalchoices Recognising their contributionthe Nobel academy said ldquoTheir experi-mental research methods now entirelydominate development economicsrdquo
The poorrsquos decision-making is thusimportant for solving the malaise ofpoverty as Duflo said recently ldquoPoor peo-ple are supposed to be either completelystupid desperate lazy or entrepreneur-ial But we donrsquot try to understand thedeep root interconnected root of theproblem So what we try to do in ourwork is unpack the problem one by oneto better understand the reason for par-ticular problems What works what does-nrsquot work and whyrdquo
More recently Banerjee advised RahulGandhi on the Nyuntam Aay Yojana(NYAY) scheme for which he suggestedthat the poor should be given Rs 2500 amonth instead of Rs 6000
One common critique of Banerjee andDuflorsquos work is that they donrsquot appreci-ate how hard it is to change the policyand implement the kind of changes thattheir insights into the lives of the poorsuggest They do believe that bigchanges do not work and that the pathforward is not better lsquobig thinkingrsquo butthinking small Improving the lives ofthe poor is primarily a matter of makinga series of small changes in lots of differ-ent domains changes that dont requiremajor political battles or dramaticallychanging the financing structures Thetwo Nobel laureates are thus essentiallyand radically lsquosmall thinkersrsquo
Banerjee and Duflo havechosen a different path totackle poverty by making
the poor and their decision-making vital to thedevelopment process Theyhave gone more deeply intofinding out the nature and
causes of poverty byundertaking a series of field
experiments to measurecredibly what sort of policies can make a
difference to poverty

Chandigarh October 15The Centrersquos recent notifica-tion restricting the input taxcredit (ITC) to 20 for anentity if its supplier has notuploaded relevant invoiceshas not gone well withMSMEs of the region Thegovernment has introducedthe new rule to keep a checkon fake ITC claims
However already reelingunder slowdown and creditcrunch the MSMEs feel itwill affect block their work-ing capital and enhancecompliance burden
Input credit means at thetime of paying tax on out-put the seller can reducethe tax which he hasalready paid on inputs Forinstance if tax payable on
output is Rs 1000 and taxpaid on input (purchases)is Rs 800 the manufactur-er can claim input credit ofRs 800 and need to depositRs 200 in taxes
According to the notifica-tion ITC to be availed by aregistered person in respectof invoices or debit notesthe details of which havenot been uploaded by thesuppliers under sub-section(1) of Section 37 shall notexceed 20 of the eligiblecredit available in respect ofinvoices or debit notes thedetails of which have beenuploaded by the suppliers[in Form GSTR-1]
ldquoThe cap of 20 shall beAct wise and not accumulat-ed input tax credit Thismeans that the taxpayer hasto work out 20 for CGST
SGST and IGST separatelyIn case the vendor haswrongly entered the placeof supply and has paid taxesunder wrong head therecipient shall not be able toclaim the ITC till it is recti-fied by the correspondingvendorrdquo said Keshav RGarg a tax consultant
The northern region isthe hub of MSMEs withnearly three lakh unitsacross Punjab HaryanaChandigarh HP and JampK
ldquoPreviously companieswere allowed to self-assesstheir ITC claims on thebasis of invoice copy with-out any such restrictions asnotified recently Now evenin case of slight mismatchthe ITC will be upheld andaffect buyer-seller relation-ship besides blocking pre-
cious working capitalrdquo saidBadish Jindal presidentFederation of Punjab SmallIndustries Association
Industrialists rued that theMSMEs were already facinghurdles in claiming ITC andwith this new notificationthey would have to go extramile to ensure that vendorsupload their invoices so thatthey can claim the taxamount paid on inputs orpurchases The GSTR-2A isa purchase-related taxreturn that is automaticallygenerated for each businessby the GST portal when aseller files his GSTR-1 ldquoSothe amendment may bringan incumbent task of regu-larly matching ITC details oftaxpayers with those appear-ing in his GSTR-2A returnrdquosaid another tax consultant

NewDelhi October 15The Boxing Federation ofIndia (BFI) has once againtweaked its selection policyfor the womenrsquos team Nowall the medal winners fromthe World Championshipswill get automatically select-ed for the AsiaOceaniaOlympics qualifier sched-uled to be held in WuhanChina in February 2020
The decision will benefitboth Mary Kom (51kg) andLovlina Borghoin (69kg)who won bronze medals atthe recently-concludedWorld Championships inUlan-Ude Russia
In its earlier communica-tion to the boxers and coach-es BFI had said that thosemaking the cut for the finalsof the World Championshipswill earn direct selection forthe Olympics qualifier Theothers were supposed to gothrough a trial process
Strangely BFI had a differ-ent take for its men boxersFor them winning bronze atthe Worlds would have beenenough to earn a direct shotat the qualifiers It is under-stood that the decision wastaken as the BFI top brassdeemed the womenrsquos compe-tition relatively easier com-pared to the menrsquos
However today BFI presi-dent Ajay Singh said thatthere cannot be differentselection criteria for boththe teams ldquoThe men andwomen will have the sameselection criteria I will makeit official soonrdquo Singh toldThe Tribune on the sidelinesof a felicitation ceremony tohonour the womenrsquos teamthat won four medals
Nikhat left high and dryThe decision means thatNikhat Zareen will not get ashot to clinch a spot for the
first qualifier BFI had con-troversially stopped Nikhatfrom challenging Mary inthe 51kg category afterdeciding not to hold the tri-al despite taking out thedraws in August BFI tookthis arbitrary decision afterMary threatened to notappear in the trial
Todayrsquos decision which isyet to be communicated tothe BFI executive will onceagain leave both Nikhat andVanlal Duati high and dry

He however insisted thathis son Rajneet had nothingto do with the day-to-dayadministration of the bankldquoThe day-to-day administra-tion of the bank was handledby Managing Director JoyThomas and other bankemployeesrdquo says Singh
Prominent leaders of theSikh community who havebeen meeting in Mumbaiever since the ReserveBank of India announcedrestrictions on money with-drawal by depositors lastmonth have been dis-cussing various measures tohelp rescue the bank

MY mind often goes back tothe evening I returnedhome after cremating my

As I was readying to take the cus-tomary bath to mark the ritualisticcleansing our plumber Karuna wholived in the outhouse arrived lsquoI feelorphaned Babu was so loving andcaringrsquo he said tears in eyes
It is only when a person is notaround gone forever that we recalltheir nuanced approach to life andKarunakar was no exception lsquoPlease
come and repair the tap wheneveryou are able to find timersquo theplumber recalled lsquoand every time Iwent not only would he force me toaccept money for the work done butalso sweets toorsquo
We grew up when grace was theprevailing meme With elders it wasnever upfront lsquoBapa the lunch hasbeen laid outrsquo or lsquoSir had asked meto remind him of the bookrsquo For uschildren all household help werebhai or mausa mdash never by theirnames would my parents call themCourtesy prevailed in social andfamilial interactions
This extended even to the deprivedCourtesy was a given never mindThe famine of 1967-68 threw up serialbeggars At home it was usual to keep
a few kilos of rice and dal aside forthem I recall an incident at Burla inwestern Orissa The gate was far offfrom our house and a shrunken men-dicant had trooped in his rickety two-year-old child in arm
Father saw him and sensed theyneeded more than just a morsel ofrice and dal A doctor he realised theywere malnourished and needed careHe asked our driver to put the car inthe portico and made them occupyour garage The duo was fed and puton treatment for a few weeks Theyleft after being restored to well-being
The car braving the blazing sun in theportico I advised father it would lose itssheen after our driverrsquos prompting Abeatific smile gracing his face he toldme about the import of our social
responsibility to look after the indigentI was chastened My ear to the groundnow I hear him say lsquoPatients are Godrsquoschildren on a worldly visitrsquo
We had a farmhouse close to Cut-tack I often accompanied him Itwould be a long day in the sun rainand humid conditions By evening Ilonged to get back home But he wasfar from done He still had his mostimportant assignment mdash examininggratis the group of poor tribals hud-dled around him mdash minutely patient-ly in the light of a flickering kerosenelamp and distributing the medicineshe carried with him for free

WHEN Durga Puja wascelebrated in West Ben-gal this year KolkatarsquosKasba locality home to
residents who had endured a statelesslife on being forced out of East Bengal(now Bangladesh) after Partition thepandal used the National Register ofCitizens (NRC) as its theme The miseen scene depicted the struggles wagedby people in piecing together theirlives decades later when they mighthave to lsquoproversquo they are card-carryingIndian citizens failing which they willbe stateless and homeless again A fig-ureless throne placed at the centre ofthe stage fixed on to a globe and out-fitted with a crown and guns symbol-ised state power and coercion
Ironically the NRC shadow loomedover Durga Puja just when the BJPhoped to use the festival as a means ofreaching out to its supporters andexpand its base Amit Shah the HomeMinister and BJP president was invit-ed to inaugurate the community jam-boree in several places although even-tually he confined himself to launchingone Identifying and assimilating itsworld view with the statersquos religiousand social culture was a consideredpart of the BJPrsquos blueprint in WestBengal that was largely unmappedterritory until the 2019 Lok Sabha elec-tion breakthrough came about It wasimportant for the BJP to shake off thetag of a North Indian party confined toKolkatarsquos Hindi-speaking Burrabazar
Initially under the influence of thecoreNorth Indian constituency the tac-tic faltered a little The BJP introducedRam Navami as a pan-Indian festival inWest Bengal but that left no imprint ona region that embraced eclectic forms ofHinduism implanted in the lives andteachings of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu
and Ramakrishna Paramhans Modiand Shah figured out that it was impor-tant to connect with provincial symbolsand icons to enlarge the BJPrsquos reachTherefore the Union Culture Ministrywas directed to mount a permanentexhibit at Kolkatarsquos National Libraryrepresenting Bankim Chandra Chat-topadhyay Tagore Syama PrasadMukherjee and Subhas Chandra BoseOn the ground the endeavour to prop-agate Ram and Hanuman as lsquonational-istrsquo icons continued with vigour so thatwhen it was time for the Lok Sabhapolls large sections of even Bengali-speaking Hindus who traditionallyworshipped Durga Kali and Saraswatiadopted these gods in their iconogra-phy The BJP took care to fuse the reli-gious with the political Ram was vener-ated as an image of desh bhakti ofnationalism because in the partyrsquosreckoning West Bengal had to tran-scend its identity politics and fuse intothe lsquonational mainstreamrsquo
The NRC fiasco in Assam threatenedto obstruct the BJPrsquos long-term plansRather than proceed along the contoursit laid out for decades mdash segregating thelsquoinfiltratorsrsquo from the lsquorefugeesrsquo ofBangladesh and underscoring theirreligious identities while harping on
how the Hindus were lsquodriven outrsquo indroves from across the eastern bordermdash the Assam exercise left out a largenumber of Bengali-speaking Hindusfrom the final NRC Almost as many asthe Muslims The BJP wanted to deportthe Muslim lsquoinfiltratorsrsquo and grant cit-izenship rights to the lsquorefugeesrsquo unlikeits periodic ally the Asom GanaParishad that refused to recognisesuch a distinction What happened tothe BJPrsquos age-old belief
The spectre of a homegrown crisisakin to the predicament of MyanmarrsquosRohingya haunted the hunted ofAssam and possibly West Bengal Mus-lims and Hindus The amended lawrequired that both parents of thoseborn on or after December 4 2004must be Indian citizens The amend-ment overturned the principle of jussoli adopted by the Motilal Nehru Com-mittee in 1928 to confer citizenshipbased on onersquos birthplace The conceptof jus sanguinis or right of blood thatgoverned the amendment stipulatedthat an lsquounlawfulrsquo migrant cannotclaim citizenship by naturalisation orregistration even if he or she resided inIndia for the required seven years

that Assam would not be repeated inher state Her rationale was that theNRC project in Assam was an outcomeof the accord signed in 1985 betweenthe Centre and the spearheads of theAll Assam Students Union while WestBengal was not dictated to by any suchpact With the emergence of the BJP asher principal opponent and herself fire-fighting allegations of corruption andbad law and order in her backyardMamata seized upon NRC threat as ananti-Bengali issue and alleged that itwas a ploy to evict Bengali-speakingresidents of Assam and jeopardise thepeople of her state Implicit in her argu-ment was the point that by lsquotargetingrsquoBengalis the BJP was going back to itsnorthern roots Indeed BJP insiders inWest Bengal were afraid that NRCmight overshadow the other issuesthey had raised against Mamata
The electoral implications of Shahrsquospitch were not lost on the West BengalBJP Even if the party was unconcernedabout the votes of the minorities it hadother ethnic groups to worry about In2019 the BJP had won over the Matuathe second largest Dalit grouping bywooing its influencers The Matua wereoriginally from Bangladesh Somecame to West Bengal immediately afterPartition while others after 1971 TheMatua votes count in nearly 40 of the295 Assembly seats The Matua settlersalso feared their future
To assuage the apprehensions Shahmdash who rarely if ever diluted his stancesmdash repeatedly stated that Hindus had noreason to be afraid because the Centrewould reintroduce the CitizenshipAmendment (2014) Bill and ensure itspassage If that is accomplished theminorities (Hindu Sikh Buddhist Jainand Christian) who migrated unlawful-ly from Bangladesh Pakistan andAfghanistan can continue living here
NRC does not reverberate only inthe districts bordering BangladeshAfter nearly one lakh persons fromthe Gorkha ethnic group weredropped from Assamrsquos citizenshipregister West Bengalrsquos Gorkhasfeared a similar fate In the end NRCwas less about faith and more aboutthe loss of human dignity and keep-ing body and soul together

Handholding have-notsNobel to Banerjee colleagues can spur fight against poverty
POVERTY alleviation might be a mere slogan in politics convenient-ly used during the elections to woo underprivileged voters but itrsquosa perennial challenge in development economics that has to be con-
fronted with sustained and sincere efforts The Nobel Prize to US-basedeconomists Abhijit Banerjee Esther Duflo and Michael Kremer is well-deserved recognition of their role in fighting poverty that has lsquohelpedmillions of children by favouring practical steps over theoryrsquo The hon-our is expected to give a fillip to the global battle against deprivation anddestitution According to the United Nationsrsquo estimates global povertyhas been reduced by more than half since 2000 yet 10 per cent of the peo-ple in developing regions still live on less than $19 (around Rs 136) a day
Banerjee and Duflo are founder-directors of the Abdul Latif JameelPoverty Action Lab (J-PAL) a worldwide network of researchers thatconducts studies as well as field experiments Their team has pio-neered randomised controlled trials (RCTs) in economics used sincelong in the field of medicine to examine the impact of treatment onone group of people while another group is given just a placebo Theystudied remedial tutoring programmes in schools of Mumbai andVadodara and brought in new teaching assistants who would help chil-dren with special needs On the basis of their experiments they con-cluded that providing more textbooks and free meals on the campushad only minor effect while targeted help for weak students made ahuge difference to overall educational levels Itrsquos true that such microinterventions can never give us the macroeconomic view but theirtransformative influence canrsquot be underestimated
India-born Banerjee has been critical of the Centrersquos economic deci-sions mdash he called demonetisation a weird move mdash but his straight talkshould not discourage the Modi government from utilising his invaluableexperience to undertake reforms in education and healthcare Former UNSecretary-General Kofi Annan once said lsquoThe biggest enemy of healthin the developing world is povertyrsquo India needs the best minds to tacklethe hydra-headed problem that is impeding growth and amplifying socialinequality lsquoGaribi hataorsquo should not remain a poll promise
Air quality concernsNo easy solution to farm fires in Punjab Haryana
THE burning of crop stubble is a problem that comes back to hauntPunjab and Haryana every year The bearing it has on pollution lev-els in Delhi has made the Supreme Court seek a status report from
the Ministry of Environment on the recommendations of a task force toprevent straw burning On Sunday night the air quality in Delhi was cat-egorised as lsquovery poorrsquo While the AAP government there prepares toimplement the odd-even scheme from November 4 to 15 what is worryingis that the problem has started early This is mainly because the sowing ofpaddy began early this year on June 13 leading to early harvesting andthe resultant early burning of crop residue Also there is a narrow timeperiod for clearing the field of the straw so that wheat can be sown mdash aboutthree weeks mdash and farmers prefer the easy way out mdash of burning the stub-ble despite deterrents like fines lodging of criminal cases and seizure ofland records Employing manpower to remove the stubble is difficultbecause with the growing mechanisation of agriculture and implementa-tion of schemes like MGNREGA migration of work force to the northernstates has reduced Also implements to clear the straw come at a cost
The NGT had in 2015 made burning of crop residue a crime But thereis no easy solution Farmers demand cash subsidy to plough stubble backinto the fields or use mechanised means to lift it and also believe that push-ing the residue back into the soil may increase chances of a pest attack
The paddy-wheat cycle is an offshoot of the Green Revolution thatchanged the prevalent cropping pattern of maize millet pulses andoilseeds The MSP encouraged paddy cultivation increasing the areaunder it The ICAR and agricultural universities promote awarenesscampaigns setting up centres for hiring implements to manage cropresidue and using alternatives like extraction of bio-fuel from straw Butwith farmers forming a potent political pressure group governmentsare wary of tackling the problem
The polarising exercise may do BJP more harm than good

THE award of the 2019 NobelPrize in Economics to AbhijitBanerjee and Esther Duflo ofthe Massachusetts Institute
of Technology (MIT) and Michael Kre-mer of Harvard University deservesnot only to be celebrated but also crit-ically reflected upon
Duflo is only the second woman econ-omist to win this prize since it was insti-tuted in 1969 The first was ElinorOstrom for her analysis of economicgovernance especially relating to lsquocom-monrsquo ecological resources thus raisingthe status of ecological economics Duflo(46) is also the youngest-ever winner ofthis prize along with being the onlywoman among this yearrsquos 16 NobelPrize winners Gender bias remains anold problem of this prize The most cele-brated woman economist of all timesJoan Robinson of Cambridge Universi-ty was never given this prize due to ide-ological reasons though her work onimperfect competition has been pio-neering in breaking the assumptions ofperfectly competitive markets
It has been my experience on teachingdevelopment economics that whenever Itaught the topic of gender bias in eco-nomic theory and policy the women stu-dents have loved it and have felt inspiredwhile most not all men students feeluncomfortable about being told thateven the central concept of macro-eco-nomics ie gross domestic product(GDP) is gender-biased because it isbased on measuring marketable goodsand services and consequently ignoreswomenrsquos work in the household
Abhijit Banerjee Duflorsquos husband andPhD supervisor is a former student ofJawaharlal Nehru University The facul-ty and students of this university have
been under vicious attack for manyyears from the government of their owncountry One hopes that this prize willmake those who govern higher educa-tion in India feel proud of this universi-ty and value its academic resources mdashthe faculty and the students
The prize honours the field of develop-ment economics and draws attention tothe global challenge of reducing povertywhich continues to damage the lives ofmillions Globally more than 700 millionpeople live in extreme poverty even ifone accepts the questionable World Bankdefinition of poverty as living on lessthan $190 per day Many millions livejust marginally above this poverty lineand are categorised as lsquovulnerable poorrsquoOne in three children is malnourishedand most children in the developing
world leave school without basic skills inreading writing and mathematics
Banerjee and Duflo have done work onIndia and Kremer on Africa especiallyKenya This prize will open more doorsfor their work but it is also going to opento much sharper scrutiny than it has beensubjected to so far I read their book PoorEconomics A radical rethinking of theway to fight global poverty soon after itcame out I was impressed by their stylebut unconvinced by their argument
The most serious criticism from amethodological point of view is that theirapproach individualises poverty and theroute out of poverty Since their ran-domised controlled trials (RCTs) methodis borrowed from clinical medicine onecan take the example from that field toexplain the problem with this method A
doctor can individualise an illness (sayobesity) prescribe some medicine whichcan provide temporary relief to thepatient important in itself but if that ill-ness (obesity) is widespread it will show aserious weakness of the medical profes-sion if it were not to look into the generalconditions of society that lead to obesitynamely the pattern of food consumptionthe nature of work and employment andthe marketing of food products etc As wecannot throw the entire blame for obesi-ty on to an obese person it is intellectual-ly and morally flawed to blame a poor per-son for hisher poverty
The RCT method believes that theproblem a poor person faces involvessmall modifications (called lsquointerven-tionsrsquo) in the existing methods of hisherdealing with the problem and the ques-
tion is merely of testing which smallmodifications will eventfully work Themethod therefore celebrates lsquowhatworksrsquo and gives the false impression ofbeing very practical and not theoretical
A still higher order of methodologicalproblem emerges when a suggestedintervention is lsquoscaled uprsquo ie gener-alised without considering different con-texts The macro dimensions of povertyie structure of property relations thepattern of income distribution theunequal bargaining powers betweenemployers and employees the nature ofpatriarchal relations the hierarchy ofcaste relations and identity issues ofmajority-minority are just brushed asideas lsquoconfoundingrsquo variables
The other serious methodological flawof the RCT approach that has beenpointed out by ethnographic studies ofpoverty is that its overemphasis onquantitative method has deprived it ofthe insights of qualitative methodsThere is some recognition of this flaw byadmitting that mixed method approachcan be useful but the approach remainsintrinsically hostile to qualitative meth-ods The econometricians have attackedthe RCT approach from the oppositeangle ie identification problem inselecting the samples for testing theeffectiveness of chosen interventionsMoral philosophers have raised ques-tions of ethics in choosing the poorestThird World people for experimentation
The reason this approach is popularwith politicians aid agencies and globalpolicy-makers is that they want to seequick results of their specific interven-tions rather than troubling themselveswith the structural causes of poverty andthe transformational changes requiredto deal with mass poverty

A serious methodologicalflaw of the RCT approachthat has been pointed outby ethnographic studies
of poverty is that itsoveremphasis on
quantitative method hasdeprived it of the insights ofqualitative methods Thereis some recognition of the
flaw by admitting that amixed method approach
can be useful but theapproach remains hostile
to qualitative methods
VULNERABLE POOR Transformational change is required to deal with mass poverty
A BHIJIT Banerjee and fellowBengali Amartya Sen bothNobel laureates in Econom-ics live in the US but their
focus of attention is India where theyreturn for their studies from time totime Banerjee is a professor at Massa-chusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)along with his Paris-born wife EstherDuflo The third Nobel laureate is ProfMichael Kremer who teaches at theneighbouring Harvard University TheRoyal Swedish Academy of Sciencessaid that they were awarded theSveriges Riksbank prize in EconomicSciences in memory of Alfred Nobelfor research findings that have lsquodra-matically improved our ability tofight poverty in practicersquo
The fact that development economicshas taken centre stage before the NobelPrize committee shows that despite all theesoteric new branches of economicsimproving human condition and alleviat-ing poverty remain most important today
Though poverty in the world haddeclined over the years there were 14billion poor in 2005 as per the WorldBank Out of the worldrsquos poor around267 million are in India That is whyBanerjee and Duflo have spent long peri-ods of time in India trying out theirgrassroots level experiments to find thereal causes behind poverty
Development economics for decadeswas based on theory and macroeconom-ic modelling From WW Rostowrsquos theoryof lsquoTake offrsquo to Hirschmanrsquos theory ofbalanced and unbalanced growth devel-opment theory meant prescriptions for abig top-down change in the underdevel-oped economies Banerjee and Duflohave chosen a different path to tacklepoverty by making the poor and their
decision-making vital to the develop-ment process They have gone moredeeply into finding out the nature andcauses of poverty by undertaking a seriesof field experiments to measure crediblywhat sort of policies can make a differ-ence to poverty and related outcomes
Twenty years ago there was a lot ofemphasis on economic theory and moremacroeconomic questions on develop-ment were asked The two Nobel Prizewinners have broken these big questionsof development and studied them likescientists running clinical trials
For example they found that therewere teaching methods in India thatwere insufficiently shaped by the needs
of students Tutoring the low performingpupils improved their achievement last-ingly More than five million childrenhave benefited from effective remedialtutoring during their studies because thepoor may have books but they are unableto learn from them They have also man-aged to inspire state governments to gofor more public investment in preventivehealthcare The Nobel Committee high-lighted how their lsquoexperiment-basedapproachrsquo has transformed develop-ment economics of the past
Thus Banerjee and Duflo have beenmore concerned with measuring whathappens in the real world at the very bot-tom level than sophisticated theoretical
modelling But their experiments aredeeply anchored in theory and they seethe poor as autonomous decision-makerswho are constrained by institutionalinformational monetary and logisticlimitations from doing what couldimprove their condition The Banerjee-Duflo team seeks to learn how the eco-nomic policy of a country can relievethese constraints They have shown thatthere is a need to adopt new approachesin the fight against poverty that arebased on field trials rather than the failedmethods of the past
The use of randomised controlled trials(RCT) to simulate laboratory experi-ments in real-life settings draws on prac-tices from medicine agronomics andsocial sciences RCT intends to breakbigger policy interventions into smallereasier-to-test studies They break issuesinto smaller questions and search for evi-dence about which interventions work toresolve them and seek practical ways tobring these treatments to scale
The essence of their book Poor Eco-nomics can be summed up by their ownsentence in the foreword ldquoWe have toabandon the habit of reducing the poorto cartoon characters and take the timeto really understand their lives in alltheir complexity and richnessrdquo Thebook describes and analyses the choicesthat people living on less than $2 a daymake in India These choices make a lotof sense in reality For instance it iscommon for the poor families to investtheir entire education budget in just onechild usually a son hoping that thischild will make it through secondaryschool and even college
They do not pay as much attention toother children because they think itwould be a waste of resources to spread
the familyrsquos educational budget amongall the children rather than making surethat at least one child reaches his goalBut helping parents understand the val-ue of education is important and has abig impact on running of schools in vil-lages as it can change their educationalchoices Recognising their contributionthe Nobel academy said ldquoTheir experi-mental research methods now entirelydominate development economicsrdquo
The poorrsquos decision-making is thusimportant for solving the malaise ofpoverty as Duflo said recently ldquoPoor peo-ple are supposed to be either completelystupid desperate lazy or entrepreneur-ial But we donrsquot try to understand thedeep root interconnected root of theproblem So what we try to do in ourwork is unpack the problem one by oneto better understand the reason for par-ticular problems What works what does-nrsquot work and whyrdquo
More recently Banerjee advised RahulGandhi on the Nyuntam Aay Yojana(NYAY) scheme for which he suggestedthat the poor should be given Rs 2500 amonth instead of Rs 6000
One common critique of Banerjee andDuflorsquos work is that they donrsquot appreci-ate how hard it is to change the policyand implement the kind of changes thattheir insights into the lives of the poorsuggest They do believe that bigchanges do not work and that the pathforward is not better lsquobig thinkingrsquo butthinking small Improving the lives ofthe poor is primarily a matter of makinga series of small changes in lots of differ-ent domains changes that dont requiremajor political battles or dramaticallychanging the financing structures Thetwo Nobel laureates are thus essentiallyand radically lsquosmall thinkersrsquo
Banerjee and Duflo havechosen a different path totackle poverty by making
the poor and their decision-making vital to thedevelopment process Theyhave gone more deeply intofinding out the nature and
causes of poverty byundertaking a series of field
experiments to measurecredibly what sort of policies can make a
difference to poverty

The tool sources saidwould be used in sifting andsegregating raw informationas well as to assist in generat-ing intelligence assessmentsdecision-making and opera-tional planning The use of AIin counter-terrorism alsoassumes significance with thegrowing use of social mediaand online platforms by radi-cal elements as well as otherhostile state agencies to cre-ate social and communal
unrest and incite violenceWhile several government
ministries and departmentsincluding the Ministry ofHome Affairs and the Depart-ment of Information Technol-ogy are involved in develop-ing e-tools and the Ministryof Defence recently made itmandatory for defence publicsector units to focus on the

Input credit means at thetime of paying tax on out-put the seller can reducethe tax which he hasalready paid on inputs Forinstance if tax payable on
output is Rs 1000 and taxpaid on input (purchases)is Rs 800 the manufactur-er can claim input credit ofRs 800 and need to depositRs 200 in taxes

ldquoThe cap of 20 shall beAct wise and not accumulat-ed input tax credit Thismeans that the taxpayer hasto work out 20 for CGST
SGST and IGST separatelyIn case the vendor haswrongly entered the placeof supply and has paid taxesunder wrong head therecipient shall not be able toclaim the ITC till it is recti-fied by the correspondingvendorrdquo said Keshav RGarg a tax consultant

ldquoPreviously companieswere allowed to self-assesstheir ITC claims on thebasis of invoice copy with-out any such restrictions asnotified recently Now evenin case of slight mismatchthe ITC will be upheld andaffect buyer-seller relation-ship besides blocking pre-
cious working capitalrdquo saidBadish Jindal presidentFederation of Punjab SmallIndustries Association
Industrialists rued that theMSMEs were already facinghurdles in claiming ITC andwith this new notificationthey would have to go extramile to ensure that vendorsupload their invoices so thatthey can claim the taxamount paid on inputs orpurchases The GSTR-2A isa purchase-related taxreturn that is automaticallygenerated for each businessby the GST portal when aseller files his GSTR-1 ldquoSothe amendment may bringan incumbent task of regu-larly matching ITC details oftaxpayers with those appear-ing in his GSTR-2A returnrdquosaid another tax consultant

NewDelhi October 15The Boxing Federation ofIndia (BFI) has once againtweaked its selection policyfor the womenrsquos team Nowall the medal winners fromthe World Championshipswill get automatically select-ed for the AsiaOceaniaOlympics qualifier sched-uled to be held in WuhanChina in February 2020
The decision will benefitboth Mary Kom (51kg) andLovlina Borghoin (69kg)who won bronze medals atthe recently-concludedWorld Championships inUlan-Ude Russia
In its earlier communica-tion to the boxers and coach-es BFI had said that thosemaking the cut for the finalsof the World Championshipswill earn direct selection forthe Olympics qualifier Theothers were supposed to gothrough a trial process
Strangely BFI had a differ-ent take for its men boxersFor them winning bronze atthe Worlds would have beenenough to earn a direct shotat the qualifiers It is under-stood that the decision wastaken as the BFI top brassdeemed the womenrsquos compe-tition relatively easier com-pared to the menrsquos
However today BFI presi-dent Ajay Singh said thatthere cannot be differentselection criteria for boththe teams ldquoThe men andwomen will have the sameselection criteria I will makeit official soonrdquo Singh toldThe Tribune on the sidelinesof a felicitation ceremony tohonour the womenrsquos teamthat won four medals
Nikhat left high and dryThe decision means thatNikhat Zareen will not get ashot to clinch a spot for the
first qualifier BFI had con-troversially stopped Nikhatfrom challenging Mary inthe 51kg category afterdeciding not to hold the tri-al despite taking out thedraws in August BFI tookthis arbitrary decision afterMary threatened to notappear in the trial
Todayrsquos decision which isyet to be communicated tothe BFI executive will onceagain leave both Nikhat andVanlal Duati high and dry
Singh explained that thisu-turn came about becauseof the realisation that medalwinners would have wonautomatic qualification forthe 2020 Tokyo Olympicshad it not been for the sus-pension of the internationalboxing association (AIBA) bythe International OlympicCommittee (IOC) ldquoI am clearin my mind but I will have tohave a meeting with my BFIcolleagues about this issueBut my personal opinion isthat whoever has won amedal at the World Champi-onships should automatical-ly take part in the qualifiersrdquoSingh said
Mary surprisedThe decision came as a sur-prise to Mary ldquoI am veryhappy and I am thankfulthat he (president) took thisdecision It also reflectsthat he has belief in myabilitiesrdquo she said
However the federationhas not decided on whathappens if Mary or Lovlinafail to earn qualifications inWuhan A top official saidthat they will take a finaldecision about selection forthe second Olympics quali-fier scheduled to be held inParis in May 2020
ldquoIdeally if she (Mary) does-nrsquot earn qualification thenwe should give a chance toothersrdquo said a BFI official

He however insisted thathis son Rajneet had nothingto do with the day-to-dayadministration of the bankldquoThe day-to-day administra-tion of the bank was handledby Managing Director JoyThomas and other bankemployeesrdquo says Singh
Prominent leaders of theSikh community who havebeen meeting in Mumbaiever since the ReserveBank of India announcedrestrictions on money with-drawal by depositors lastmonth have been dis-cussing various measures tohelp rescue the bank

lecting information from thedepositors and we will file apetition in the High Courtrdquosays Raghubir Singh Gillpresident Guru Singh Sabha

THE award of the 2019 NobelPrize in Economics to AbhijitBanerjee and Esther Duflo ofthe Massachusetts Institute
of Technology (MIT) and Michael Kre-mer of Harvard University deservesnot only to be celebrated but also crit-ically reflected upon
Duflo is only the second woman econ-omist to win this prize since it was insti-tuted in 1969 The first was ElinorOstrom for her analysis of economicgovernance especially relating to lsquocom-monrsquo ecological resources thus raisingthe status of ecological economics Duflo(46) is also the youngest-ever winner ofthis prize along with being the onlywoman among this yearrsquos 16 NobelPrize winners Gender bias remains anold problem of this prize The most cele-brated woman economist of all timesJoan Robinson of Cambridge Universi-ty was never given this prize due to ide-ological reasons though her work onimperfect competition has been pio-neering in breaking the assumptions ofperfectly competitive markets
It has been my experience on teachingdevelopment economics that whenever Itaught the topic of gender bias in eco-nomic theory and policy the women stu-dents have loved it and have felt inspiredwhile most not all men students feeluncomfortable about being told thateven the central concept of macro-eco-nomics ie gross domestic product(GDP) is gender-biased because it isbased on measuring marketable goodsand services and consequently ignoreswomenrsquos work in the household
Abhijit Banerjee Duflorsquos husband andPhD supervisor is a former student ofJawaharlal Nehru University The facul-ty and students of this university have
been under vicious attack for manyyears from the government of their owncountry One hopes that this prize willmake those who govern higher educa-tion in India feel proud of this universi-ty and value its academic resources mdashthe faculty and the students
The prize honours the field of develop-ment economics and draws attention tothe global challenge of reducing povertywhich continues to damage the lives ofmillions Globally more than 700 millionpeople live in extreme poverty even ifone accepts the questionable World Bankdefinition of poverty as living on lessthan $190 per day Many millions livejust marginally above this poverty lineand are categorised as lsquovulnerable poorrsquoOne in three children is malnourishedand most children in the developing
world leave school without basic skills inreading writing and mathematics
Banerjee and Duflo have done work onIndia and Kremer on Africa especiallyKenya This prize will open more doorsfor their work but it is also going to opento much sharper scrutiny than it has beensubjected to so far I read their book PoorEconomics A radical rethinking of theway to fight global poverty soon after itcame out I was impressed by their stylebut unconvinced by their argument
The most serious criticism from amethodological point of view is that theirapproach individualises poverty and theroute out of poverty Since their ran-domised controlled trials (RCTs) methodis borrowed from clinical medicine onecan take the example from that field toexplain the problem with this method A
doctor can individualise an illness (sayobesity) prescribe some medicine whichcan provide temporary relief to thepatient important in itself but if that ill-ness (obesity) is widespread it will show aserious weakness of the medical profes-sion if it were not to look into the generalconditions of society that lead to obesitynamely the pattern of food consumptionthe nature of work and employment andthe marketing of food products etc As wecannot throw the entire blame for obesi-ty on to an obese person it is intellectual-ly and morally flawed to blame a poor per-son for hisher poverty
The RCT method believes that theproblem a poor person faces involvessmall modifications (called lsquointerven-tionsrsquo) in the existing methods of hisherdealing with the problem and the ques-
tion is merely of testing which smallmodifications will eventfully work Themethod therefore celebrates lsquowhatworksrsquo and gives the false impression ofbeing very practical and not theoretical
A still higher order of methodologicalproblem emerges when a suggestedintervention is lsquoscaled uprsquo ie gener-alised without considering different con-texts The macro dimensions of povertyie structure of property relations thepattern of income distribution theunequal bargaining powers betweenemployers and employees the nature ofpatriarchal relations the hierarchy ofcaste relations and identity issues ofmajority-minority are just brushed asideas lsquoconfoundingrsquo variables
The other serious methodological flawof the RCT approach that has beenpointed out by ethnographic studies ofpoverty is that its overemphasis onquantitative method has deprived it ofthe insights of qualitative methodsThere is some recognition of this flaw byadmitting that mixed method approachcan be useful but the approach remainsintrinsically hostile to qualitative meth-ods The econometricians have attackedthe RCT approach from the oppositeangle ie identification problem inselecting the samples for testing theeffectiveness of chosen interventionsMoral philosophers have raised ques-tions of ethics in choosing the poorestThird World people for experimentation
The reason this approach is popularwith politicians aid agencies and globalpolicy-makers is that they want to seequick results of their specific interven-tions rather than troubling themselveswith the structural causes of poverty andthe transformational changes requiredto deal with mass poverty

A serious methodologicalflaw of the RCT approachthat has been pointed outby ethnographic studies
of poverty is that itsoveremphasis on
quantitative method hasdeprived it of the insights ofqualitative methods Thereis some recognition of the
flaw by admitting that amixed method approach
can be useful but theapproach remains hostile
to qualitative methods
VULNERABLE POOR Transformational change is required to deal with mass poverty
A BHIJIT Banerjee and fellowBengali Amartya Sen bothNobel laureates in Econom-ics live in the US but their
focus of attention is India where theyreturn for their studies from time totime Banerjee is a professor at Massa-chusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)along with his Paris-born wife EstherDuflo The third Nobel laureate is ProfMichael Kremer who teaches at theneighbouring Harvard University TheRoyal Swedish Academy of Sciencessaid that they were awarded theSveriges Riksbank prize in EconomicSciences in memory of Alfred Nobelfor research findings that have lsquodra-matically improved our ability tofight poverty in practicersquo
The fact that development economicshas taken centre stage before the NobelPrize committee shows that despite all theesoteric new branches of economicsimproving human condition and alleviat-ing poverty remain most important today
Though poverty in the world haddeclined over the years there were 14billion poor in 2005 as per the WorldBank Out of the worldrsquos poor around267 million are in India That is whyBanerjee and Duflo have spent long peri-ods of time in India trying out theirgrassroots level experiments to find thereal causes behind poverty
Development economics for decadeswas based on theory and macroeconom-ic modelling From WW Rostowrsquos theoryof lsquoTake offrsquo to Hirschmanrsquos theory ofbalanced and unbalanced growth devel-opment theory meant prescriptions for abig top-down change in the underdevel-oped economies Banerjee and Duflohave chosen a different path to tacklepoverty by making the poor and their
decision-making vital to the develop-ment process They have gone moredeeply into finding out the nature andcauses of poverty by undertaking a seriesof field experiments to measure crediblywhat sort of policies can make a differ-ence to poverty and related outcomes
Twenty years ago there was a lot ofemphasis on economic theory and moremacroeconomic questions on develop-ment were asked The two Nobel Prizewinners have broken these big questionsof development and studied them likescientists running clinical trials
For example they found that therewere teaching methods in India thatwere insufficiently shaped by the needs
of students Tutoring the low performingpupils improved their achievement last-ingly More than five million childrenhave benefited from effective remedialtutoring during their studies because thepoor may have books but they are unableto learn from them They have also man-aged to inspire state governments to gofor more public investment in preventivehealthcare The Nobel Committee high-lighted how their lsquoexperiment-basedapproachrsquo has transformed develop-ment economics of the past
Thus Banerjee and Duflo have beenmore concerned with measuring whathappens in the real world at the very bot-tom level than sophisticated theoretical
modelling But their experiments aredeeply anchored in theory and they seethe poor as autonomous decision-makerswho are constrained by institutionalinformational monetary and logisticlimitations from doing what couldimprove their condition The Banerjee-Duflo team seeks to learn how the eco-nomic policy of a country can relievethese constraints They have shown thatthere is a need to adopt new approachesin the fight against poverty that arebased on field trials rather than the failedmethods of the past
The use of randomised controlled trials(RCT) to simulate laboratory experi-ments in real-life settings draws on prac-tices from medicine agronomics andsocial sciences RCT intends to breakbigger policy interventions into smallereasier-to-test studies They break issuesinto smaller questions and search for evi-dence about which interventions work toresolve them and seek practical ways tobring these treatments to scale
The essence of their book Poor Eco-nomics can be summed up by their ownsentence in the foreword ldquoWe have toabandon the habit of reducing the poorto cartoon characters and take the timeto really understand their lives in alltheir complexity and richnessrdquo Thebook describes and analyses the choicesthat people living on less than $2 a daymake in India These choices make a lotof sense in reality For instance it iscommon for the poor families to investtheir entire education budget in just onechild usually a son hoping that thischild will make it through secondaryschool and even college
They do not pay as much attention toother children because they think itwould be a waste of resources to spread
the familyrsquos educational budget amongall the children rather than making surethat at least one child reaches his goalBut helping parents understand the val-ue of education is important and has abig impact on running of schools in vil-lages as it can change their educationalchoices Recognising their contributionthe Nobel academy said ldquoTheir experi-mental research methods now entirelydominate development economicsrdquo
The poorrsquos decision-making is thusimportant for solving the malaise ofpoverty as Duflo said recently ldquoPoor peo-ple are supposed to be either completelystupid desperate lazy or entrepreneur-ial But we donrsquot try to understand thedeep root interconnected root of theproblem So what we try to do in ourwork is unpack the problem one by oneto better understand the reason for par-ticular problems What works what does-nrsquot work and whyrdquo
More recently Banerjee advised RahulGandhi on the Nyuntam Aay Yojana(NYAY) scheme for which he suggestedthat the poor should be given Rs 2500 amonth instead of Rs 6000
One common critique of Banerjee andDuflorsquos work is that they donrsquot appreci-ate how hard it is to change the policyand implement the kind of changes thattheir insights into the lives of the poorsuggest They do believe that bigchanges do not work and that the pathforward is not better lsquobig thinkingrsquo butthinking small Improving the lives ofthe poor is primarily a matter of makinga series of small changes in lots of differ-ent domains changes that dont requiremajor political battles or dramaticallychanging the financing structures Thetwo Nobel laureates are thus essentiallyand radically lsquosmall thinkersrsquo
Banerjee and Duflo havechosen a different path totackle poverty by making
the poor and their decision-making vital to thedevelopment process Theyhave gone more deeply intofinding out the nature and
causes of poverty byundertaking a series of field
experiments to measurecredibly what sort of policies can make a
difference to poverty

The tool sources saidwould be used in sifting andsegregating raw informationas well as to assist in generat-ing intelligence assessmentsdecision-making and opera-tional planning The use of AIin counter-terrorism alsoassumes significance with thegrowing use of social mediaand online platforms by radi-cal elements as well as otherhostile state agencies to cre-ate social and communal
unrest and incite violenceWhile several government
ministries and departmentsincluding the Ministry ofHome Affairs and the Depart-ment of Information Technol-ogy are involved in develop-ing e-tools and the Ministryof Defence recently made itmandatory for defence publicsector units to focus on the

Chandigarh October 15The Centrersquos recent notifica-tion restricting the input taxcredit (ITC) to 20 for anentity if its supplier has notuploaded relevant invoiceshas not gone well withMSMEs of the region Thegovernment has introducedthe new rule to keep a checkon fake ITC claims
However already reelingunder slowdown and creditcrunch the MSMEs feel itwill affect block their work-ing capital and enhancecompliance burden
Input credit means at thetime of paying tax on out-put the seller can reducethe tax which he hasalready paid on inputs Forinstance if tax payable on
output is Rs 1000 and taxpaid on input (purchases)is Rs 800 the manufactur-er can claim input credit ofRs 800 and need to depositRs 200 in taxes

ldquoThe cap of 20 shall beAct wise and not accumulat-ed input tax credit Thismeans that the taxpayer hasto work out 20 for CGST
SGST and IGST separatelyIn case the vendor haswrongly entered the placeof supply and has paid taxesunder wrong head therecipient shall not be able toclaim the ITC till it is recti-fied by the correspondingvendorrdquo said Keshav RGarg a tax consultant
The northern region isthe hub of MSMEs withnearly three lakh unitsacross Punjab HaryanaChandigarh HP and JampK
ldquoPreviously companieswere allowed to self-assesstheir ITC claims on thebasis of invoice copy with-out any such restrictions asnotified recently Now evenin case of slight mismatchthe ITC will be upheld andaffect buyer-seller relation-ship besides blocking pre-
cious working capitalrdquo saidBadish Jindal presidentFederation of Punjab SmallIndustries Association
Industrialists rued that theMSMEs were already facinghurdles in claiming ITC andwith this new notificationthey would have to go extramile to ensure that vendorsupload their invoices so thatthey can claim the taxamount paid on inputs orpurchases The GSTR-2A isa purchase-related taxreturn that is automaticallygenerated for each businessby the GST portal when aseller files his GSTR-1 ldquoSothe amendment may bringan incumbent task of regu-larly matching ITC details oftaxpayers with those appear-ing in his GSTR-2A returnrdquosaid another tax consultant

NewDelhi October 15The Boxing Federation ofIndia (BFI) has once againtweaked its selection policyfor the womenrsquos team Nowall the medal winners fromthe World Championshipswill get automatically select-ed for the AsiaOceaniaOlympics qualifier sched-uled to be held in WuhanChina in February 2020
The decision will benefitboth Mary Kom (51kg) andLovlina Borghoin (69kg)who won bronze medals atthe recently-concludedWorld Championships inUlan-Ude Russia
In its earlier communica-tion to the boxers and coach-es BFI had said that thosemaking the cut for the finalsof the World Championshipswill earn direct selection forthe Olympics qualifier Theothers were supposed to gothrough a trial process
Strangely BFI had a differ-ent take for its men boxersFor them winning bronze atthe Worlds would have beenenough to earn a direct shotat the qualifiers It is under-stood that the decision wastaken as the BFI top brassdeemed the womenrsquos compe-tition relatively easier com-pared to the menrsquos
However today BFI presi-dent Ajay Singh said thatthere cannot be differentselection criteria for boththe teams ldquoThe men andwomen will have the sameselection criteria I will makeit official soonrdquo Singh toldThe Tribune on the sidelinesof a felicitation ceremony tohonour the womenrsquos teamthat won four medals
Nikhat left high and dryThe decision means thatNikhat Zareen will not get ashot to clinch a spot for the
first qualifier BFI had con-troversially stopped Nikhatfrom challenging Mary inthe 51kg category afterdeciding not to hold the tri-al despite taking out thedraws in August BFI tookthis arbitrary decision afterMary threatened to notappear in the trial
Todayrsquos decision which isyet to be communicated tothe BFI executive will onceagain leave both Nikhat andVanlal Duati high and dry
Singh explained that thisu-turn came about becauseof the realisation that medalwinners would have wonautomatic qualification forthe 2020 Tokyo Olympicshad it not been for the sus-pension of the internationalboxing association (AIBA) bythe International OlympicCommittee (IOC) ldquoI am clearin my mind but I will have tohave a meeting with my BFIcolleagues about this issueBut my personal opinion isthat whoever has won amedal at the World Champi-onships should automatical-ly take part in the qualifiersrdquoSingh said
Mary surprisedThe decision came as a sur-prise to Mary ldquoI am veryhappy and I am thankfulthat he (president) took thisdecision It also reflectsthat he has belief in myabilitiesrdquo she said
However the federationhas not decided on whathappens if Mary or Lovlinafail to earn qualifications inWuhan A top official saidthat they will take a finaldecision about selection forthe second Olympics quali-fier scheduled to be held inParis in May 2020
ldquoIdeally if she (Mary) does-nrsquot earn qualification thenwe should give a chance toothersrdquo said a BFI official

He however insisted thathis son Rajneet had nothingto do with the day-to-dayadministration of the bankldquoThe day-to-day administra-tion of the bank was handledby Managing Director JoyThomas and other bankemployeesrdquo says Singh
Prominent leaders of theSikh community who havebeen meeting in Mumbaiever since the ReserveBank of India announcedrestrictions on money with-drawal by depositors lastmonth have been dis-cussing various measures tohelp rescue the bank

lecting information from thedepositors and we will file apetition in the High Courtrdquosays Raghubir Singh Gillpresident Guru Singh Sabha

Chandigarh October 15The Centrersquos recent notifica-tion restricting the input taxcredit (ITC) to 20 for anentity if its supplier has notuploaded relevant invoiceshas not gone well withMSMEs of the region Thegovernment has introducedthe new rule to keep a checkon fake ITC claims
However already reelingunder slowdown and creditcrunch the MSMEs feel itwill affect block their work-ing capital and enhancecompliance burden
Input credit means at thetime of paying tax on out-put the seller can reducethe tax which he hasalready paid on inputs Forinstance if tax payable on
output is Rs 1000 and taxpaid on input (purchases)is Rs 800 the manufactur-er can claim input credit ofRs 800 and need to depositRs 200 in taxes
According to the notifica-tion ITC to be availed by aregistered person in respectof invoices or debit notesthe details of which havenot been uploaded by thesuppliers under sub-section(1) of Section 37 shall notexceed 20 of the eligiblecredit available in respect ofinvoices or debit notes thedetails of which have beenuploaded by the suppliers[in Form GSTR-1]
ldquoThe cap of 20 shall beAct wise and not accumulat-ed input tax credit Thismeans that the taxpayer hasto work out 20 for CGST
SGST and IGST separatelyIn case the vendor haswrongly entered the placeof supply and has paid taxesunder wrong head therecipient shall not be able toclaim the ITC till it is recti-fied by the correspondingvendorrdquo said Keshav RGarg a tax consultant
The northern region isthe hub of MSMEs withnearly three lakh unitsacross Punjab HaryanaChandigarh HP and JampK
ldquoPreviously companieswere allowed to self-assesstheir ITC claims on thebasis of invoice copy with-out any such restrictions asnotified recently Now evenin case of slight mismatchthe ITC will be upheld andaffect buyer-seller relation-ship besides blocking pre-
cious working capitalrdquo saidBadish Jindal presidentFederation of Punjab SmallIndustries Association
Industrialists rued that theMSMEs were already facinghurdles in claiming ITC andwith this new notificationthey would have to go extramile to ensure that vendorsupload their invoices so thatthey can claim the taxamount paid on inputs orpurchases The GSTR-2A isa purchase-related taxreturn that is automaticallygenerated for each businessby the GST portal when aseller files his GSTR-1 ldquoSothe amendment may bringan incumbent task of regu-larly matching ITC details oftaxpayers with those appear-ing in his GSTR-2A returnrdquosaid another tax consultant

NewDelhi October 15The Boxing Federation ofIndia (BFI) has once againtweaked its selection policyfor the womenrsquos team Nowall the medal winners fromthe World Championshipswill get automatically select-ed for the AsiaOceaniaOlympics qualifier sched-uled to be held in WuhanChina in February 2020
The decision will benefitboth Mary Kom (51kg) andLovlina Borghoin (69kg)who won bronze medals atthe recently-concludedWorld Championships inUlan-Ude Russia
In its earlier communica-tion to the boxers and coach-es BFI had said that thosemaking the cut for the finalsof the World Championshipswill earn direct selection forthe Olympics qualifier Theothers were supposed to gothrough a trial process
Strangely BFI had a differ-ent take for its men boxersFor them winning bronze atthe Worlds would have beenenough to earn a direct shotat the qualifiers It is under-stood that the decision wastaken as the BFI top brassdeemed the womenrsquos compe-tition relatively easier com-pared to the menrsquos
However today BFI presi-dent Ajay Singh said thatthere cannot be differentselection criteria for boththe teams ldquoThe men andwomen will have the sameselection criteria I will makeit official soonrdquo Singh toldThe Tribune on the sidelinesof a felicitation ceremony tohonour the womenrsquos teamthat won four medals
Nikhat left high and dryThe decision means thatNikhat Zareen will not get ashot to clinch a spot for the
first qualifier BFI had con-troversially stopped Nikhatfrom challenging Mary inthe 51kg category afterdeciding not to hold the tri-al despite taking out thedraws in August BFI tookthis arbitrary decision afterMary threatened to notappear in the trial
Todayrsquos decision which isyet to be communicated tothe BFI executive will onceagain leave both Nikhat andVanlal Duati high and dry
Singh explained that thisu-turn came about becauseof the realisation that medalwinners would have wonautomatic qualification forthe 2020 Tokyo Olympicshad it not been for the sus-pension of the internationalboxing association (AIBA) bythe International OlympicCommittee (IOC) ldquoI am clearin my mind but I will have tohave a meeting with my BFIcolleagues about this issueBut my personal opinion isthat whoever has won amedal at the World Champi-onships should automatical-ly take part in the qualifiersrdquoSingh said
Mary surprisedThe decision came as a sur-prise to Mary ldquoI am veryhappy and I am thankfulthat he (president) took thisdecision It also reflectsthat he has belief in myabilitiesrdquo she said
However the federationhas not decided on whathappens if Mary or Lovlinafail to earn qualifications inWuhan A top official saidthat they will take a finaldecision about selection forthe second Olympics quali-fier scheduled to be held inParis in May 2020
ldquoIdeally if she (Mary) does-nrsquot earn qualification thenwe should give a chance toothersrdquo said a BFI official

Though Shah claimedthere has been no deal withGanguly over BCCI presi-dentship sources say he met
the Home Minister before thejigsaw finally fell into place
Shah yesterday said hewasnrsquot the one to decide whowill be BCCI president Healso said there has been nosuch deal or talks betweenthem and ldquoit was just bad-mouthing Gangulyrdquo

Mumbai October 15The reports of assets worthhundreds of crores beingseized from the Wadhawanfamily and office-bearers ofthe troubled PMC Bank Lim-ited have sparked off opti-mism among members ofMumbairsquos Sikh community
ldquoPMC Bank is not closingdown The depositorsrsquomoney is absolutely safeand the bank has enoughassets as collateral that canbe sold to recover moneylent to borrowersrdquo saysTara Singh BJP MLA fromMulund in Mumbai
According to Singh hisfather Partap Singh was oneof the founders of the bankthat was founded in the
1980s to cater to small busi-nessmen like transportersand taxi drivers from theSikh community
Though Singh is not anoffice-bearer in the bank hisson Rajneet was one of itsdirectors The BJP has notfielded Tara Singh in next
weekrsquos Assembly electionsand efforts by him to get theparty ticket for Rajneetfailed because of the latterrsquoslink to PMC Bank
Tara Singh refuses to speakon what went wrong at thePMC Bank and its close linksto the Wadhwan family pro-
moters of Housing and Devel-opment Infrastructure Limit-ed (HDIL) which is facingbankruptcy
He however insisted thathis son Rajneet had nothingto do with the day-to-dayadministration of the bankldquoThe day-to-day administra-tion of the bank was handledby Managing Director JoyThomas and other bankemployeesrdquo says Singh
Prominent leaders of theSikh community who havebeen meeting in Mumbaiever since the ReserveBank of India announcedrestrictions on money with-drawal by depositors lastmonth have been dis-cussing various measures tohelp rescue the bank
ldquoWe are in the process of col-
lecting information from thedepositors and we will file apetition in the High Courtrdquosays Raghubir Singh Gillpresident Guru Singh Sabha
Leaders of the Sikh com-munity who are in touch withthe Mumbai police feelassets being seized from theformer office-bearers of thebank and the Wadhawans besold so that depositorsrsquofunds could be restored
Investigators from the eco-nomic offences wing of theMumbai police claim to haveattached plots of landhotels commercial and resi-dential properties belongingto the Wadhawans and for-mer office-bearers of thebank ndash former ChairmanWaryam Singh and formerMD Joy Thomas

Input credit means at thetime of paying tax on out-put the seller can reducethe tax which he hasalready paid on inputs Forinstance if tax payable on
output is Rs 1000 and taxpaid on input (purchases)is Rs 800 the manufactur-er can claim input credit ofRs 800 and need to depositRs 200 in taxes
According to the notifica-tion ITC to be availed by aregistered person in respectof invoices or debit notesthe details of which havenot been uploaded by thesuppliers under sub-section(1) of Section 37 shall notexceed 20 of the eligiblecredit available in respect ofinvoices or debit notes thedetails of which have beenuploaded by the suppliers[in Form GSTR-1]
ldquoThe cap of 20 shall beAct wise and not accumulat-ed input tax credit Thismeans that the taxpayer hasto work out 20 for CGST
SGST and IGST separatelyIn case the vendor haswrongly entered the placeof supply and has paid taxesunder wrong head therecipient shall not be able toclaim the ITC till it is recti-fied by the correspondingvendorrdquo said Keshav RGarg a tax consultant
The northern region isthe hub of MSMEs withnearly three lakh unitsacross Punjab HaryanaChandigarh HP and JampK
ldquoPreviously companieswere allowed to self-assesstheir ITC claims on thebasis of invoice copy with-out any such restrictions asnotified recently Now evenin case of slight mismatchthe ITC will be upheld andaffect buyer-seller relation-ship besides blocking pre-
cious working capitalrdquo saidBadish Jindal presidentFederation of Punjab SmallIndustries Association
Industrialists rued that theMSMEs were already facinghurdles in claiming ITC andwith this new notificationthey would have to go extramile to ensure that vendorsupload their invoices so thatthey can claim the taxamount paid on inputs orpurchases The GSTR-2A isa purchase-related taxreturn that is automaticallygenerated for each businessby the GST portal when aseller files his GSTR-1 ldquoSothe amendment may bringan incumbent task of regu-larly matching ITC details oftaxpayers with those appear-ing in his GSTR-2A returnrdquosaid another tax consultant

NewDelhi October 15The Boxing Federation ofIndia (BFI) has once againtweaked its selection policyfor the womenrsquos team Nowall the medal winners fromthe World Championshipswill get automatically select-ed for the AsiaOceaniaOlympics qualifier sched-uled to be held in WuhanChina in February 2020
The decision will benefitboth Mary Kom (51kg) andLovlina Borghoin (69kg)who won bronze medals atthe recently-concludedWorld Championships inUlan-Ude Russia
In its earlier communica-tion to the boxers and coach-es BFI had said that thosemaking the cut for the finalsof the World Championshipswill earn direct selection forthe Olympics qualifier Theothers were supposed to gothrough a trial process
Strangely BFI had a differ-ent take for its men boxersFor them winning bronze atthe Worlds would have beenenough to earn a direct shotat the qualifiers It is under-stood that the decision wastaken as the BFI top brassdeemed the womenrsquos compe-tition relatively easier com-pared to the menrsquos
However today BFI presi-dent Ajay Singh said thatthere cannot be differentselection criteria for boththe teams ldquoThe men andwomen will have the sameselection criteria I will makeit official soonrdquo Singh toldThe Tribune on the sidelinesof a felicitation ceremony tohonour the womenrsquos teamthat won four medals
Nikhat left high and dryThe decision means thatNikhat Zareen will not get ashot to clinch a spot for the
first qualifier BFI had con-troversially stopped Nikhatfrom challenging Mary inthe 51kg category afterdeciding not to hold the tri-al despite taking out thedraws in August BFI tookthis arbitrary decision afterMary threatened to notappear in the trial
Todayrsquos decision which isyet to be communicated tothe BFI executive will onceagain leave both Nikhat andVanlal Duati high and dry
Singh explained that thisu-turn came about becauseof the realisation that medalwinners would have wonautomatic qualification forthe 2020 Tokyo Olympicshad it not been for the sus-pension of the internationalboxing association (AIBA) bythe International OlympicCommittee (IOC) ldquoI am clearin my mind but I will have tohave a meeting with my BFIcolleagues about this issueBut my personal opinion isthat whoever has won amedal at the World Champi-onships should automatical-ly take part in the qualifiersrdquoSingh said
Mary surprisedThe decision came as a sur-prise to Mary ldquoI am veryhappy and I am thankfulthat he (president) took thisdecision It also reflectsthat he has belief in myabilitiesrdquo she said
However the federationhas not decided on whathappens if Mary or Lovlinafail to earn qualifications inWuhan A top official saidthat they will take a finaldecision about selection forthe second Olympics quali-fier scheduled to be held inParis in May 2020
ldquoIdeally if she (Mary) does-nrsquot earn qualification thenwe should give a chance toothersrdquo said a BFI official

moters of Housing and Devel-opment Infrastructure Limit-ed (HDIL) which is facingbankruptcy
He however insisted thathis son Rajneet had nothingto do with the day-to-dayadministration of the bankldquoThe day-to-day administra-tion of the bank was handledby Managing Director JoyThomas and other bankemployeesrdquo says Singh
Prominent leaders of theSikh community who havebeen meeting in Mumbaiever since the ReserveBank of India announcedrestrictions on money with-drawal by depositors lastmonth have been dis-cussing various measures tohelp rescue the bank

lecting information from thedepositors and we will file apetition in the High Courtrdquosays Raghubir Singh Gillpresident Guru Singh Sabha

NewDelhi October 15The Boxing Federation ofIndia (BFI) has once againtweaked its selection policyfor the womenrsquos team Nowall the medal winners fromthe World Championshipswill get automatically select-ed for the AsiaOceaniaOlympics qualifier sched-uled to be held in WuhanChina in February 2020
The decision will benefitboth Mary Kom (51kg) andLovlina Borghoin (69kg)who won bronze medals atthe recently-concludedWorld Championships inUlan-Ude Russia
In its earlier communica-tion to the boxers and coach-es BFI had said that thosemaking the cut for the finalsof the World Championshipswill earn direct selection forthe Olympics qualifier Theothers were supposed to gothrough a trial process
Strangely BFI had a differ-ent take for its men boxersFor them winning bronze atthe Worlds would have beenenough to earn a direct shotat the qualifiers It is under-stood that the decision wastaken as the BFI top brassdeemed the womenrsquos compe-tition relatively easier com-pared to the menrsquos
However today BFI presi-dent Ajay Singh said thatthere cannot be differentselection criteria for boththe teams ldquoThe men andwomen will have the sameselection criteria I will makeit official soonrdquo Singh toldThe Tribune on the sidelinesof a felicitation ceremony tohonour the womenrsquos teamthat won four medals
Nikhat left high and dryThe decision means thatNikhat Zareen will not get ashot to clinch a spot for the
first qualifier BFI had con-troversially stopped Nikhatfrom challenging Mary inthe 51kg category afterdeciding not to hold the tri-al despite taking out thedraws in August BFI tookthis arbitrary decision afterMary threatened to notappear in the trial
Todayrsquos decision which isyet to be communicated tothe BFI executive will onceagain leave both Nikhat andVanlal Duati high and dry
Singh explained that thisu-turn came about becauseof the realisation that medalwinners would have wonautomatic qualification forthe 2020 Tokyo Olympicshad it not been for the sus-pension of the internationalboxing association (AIBA) bythe International OlympicCommittee (IOC) ldquoI am clearin my mind but I will have tohave a meeting with my BFIcolleagues about this issueBut my personal opinion isthat whoever has won amedal at the World Champi-onships should automatical-ly take part in the qualifiersrdquoSingh said
Mary surprisedThe decision came as a sur-prise to Mary ldquoI am veryhappy and I am thankfulthat he (president) took thisdecision It also reflectsthat he has belief in myabilitiesrdquo she said
However the federationhas not decided on whathappens if Mary or Lovlinafail to earn qualifications inWuhan A top official saidthat they will take a finaldecision about selection forthe second Olympics quali-fier scheduled to be held inParis in May 2020
ldquoIdeally if she (Mary) does-nrsquot earn qualification thenwe should give a chance toothersrdquo said a BFI official

NewDelhi October 15The Boxing Federation ofIndia (BFI) has once againtweaked its selection policyfor the womenrsquos team Nowall the medal winners fromthe World Championshipswill get automatically select-ed for the AsiaOceaniaOlympics qualifier sched-uled to be held in WuhanChina in February 2020
The decision will benefitboth Mary Kom (51kg) andLovlina Borghoin (69kg)who won bronze medals atthe recently-concludedWorld Championships inUlan-Ude Russia
In its earlier communica-tion to the boxers and coach-es BFI had said that thosemaking the cut for the finalsof the World Championshipswill earn direct selection forthe Olympics qualifier Theothers were supposed to gothrough a trial process
Strangely BFI had a differ-ent take for its men boxersFor them winning bronze atthe Worlds would have beenenough to earn a direct shotat the qualifiers It is under-stood that the decision wastaken as the BFI top brassdeemed the womenrsquos compe-tition relatively easier com-pared to the menrsquos
However today BFI presi-dent Ajay Singh said thatthere cannot be differentselection criteria for boththe teams ldquoThe men andwomen will have the sameselection criteria I will makeit official soonrdquo Singh toldThe Tribune on the sidelinesof a felicitation ceremony tohonour the womenrsquos teamthat won four medals
Nikhat left high and dryThe decision means thatNikhat Zareen will not get ashot to clinch a spot for the
first qualifier BFI had con-troversially stopped Nikhatfrom challenging Mary inthe 51kg category afterdeciding not to hold the tri-al despite taking out thedraws in August BFI tookthis arbitrary decision afterMary threatened to notappear in the trial
Todayrsquos decision which isyet to be communicated tothe BFI executive will onceagain leave both Nikhat andVanlal Duati high and dry
Singh explained that thisu-turn came about becauseof the realisation that medalwinners would have wonautomatic qualification forthe 2020 Tokyo Olympicshad it not been for the sus-pension of the internationalboxing association (AIBA) bythe International OlympicCommittee (IOC) ldquoI am clearin my mind but I will have tohave a meeting with my BFIcolleagues about this issueBut my personal opinion isthat whoever has won amedal at the World Champi-onships should automatical-ly take part in the qualifiersrdquoSingh said
Mary surprisedThe decision came as a sur-prise to Mary ldquoI am veryhappy and I am thankfulthat he (president) took thisdecision It also reflectsthat he has belief in myabilitiesrdquo she said
However the federationhas not decided on whathappens if Mary or Lovlinafail to earn qualifications inWuhan A top official saidthat they will take a finaldecision about selection forthe second Olympics quali-fier scheduled to be held inParis in May 2020
ldquoIdeally if she (Mary) does-nrsquot earn qualification thenwe should give a chance toothersrdquo said a BFI official

While given the partyrsquos per-formance in the recent LokSabha elections (it won 18 ofthe 42 seats in the state) theBJP is in a rather happyplace or so insist top leadersldquobut then there is no harm inhaving some extra-paddingrdquo
After all state elections arecontested on local issues andit would certainly not hurthaving a well respected Ben-gali icon by its side
Yesterday Ganguly alongwith BCCIrsquos secretary-electJay Shah son of the HomeMinister and other nominat-ed office-bearers filed nomi-
nation for the post of BCCIpresident unopposed It willbe a short tenure but hisname would be etched in theBCCI history The new teamassumes office on October 23

Tara Singh refuses to speakon what went wrong at thePMC Bank and its close linksto the Wadhwan family pro-
moters of Housing and Devel-opment Infrastructure Limit-ed (HDIL) which is facingbankruptcy
He however insisted thathis son Rajneet had nothingto do with the day-to-dayadministration of the bankldquoThe day-to-day administra-tion of the bank was handledby Managing Director JoyThomas and other bankemployeesrdquo says Singh
Prominent leaders of theSikh community who havebeen meeting in Mumbaiever since the ReserveBank of India announcedrestrictions on money with-drawal by depositors lastmonth have been dis-cussing various measures tohelp rescue the bank
ldquoWe are in the process of col-
lecting information from thedepositors and we will file apetition in the High Courtrdquosays Raghubir Singh Gillpresident Guru Singh Sabha

NewDelhi October 15The Boxing Federation ofIndia (BFI) has once againtweaked its selection policyfor the womenrsquos team Nowall the medal winners fromthe World Championshipswill get automatically select-ed for the AsiaOceaniaOlympics qualifier sched-uled to be held in WuhanChina in February 2020
The decision will benefitboth Mary Kom (51kg) andLovlina Borghoin (69kg)who won bronze medals atthe recently-concludedWorld Championships inUlan-Ude Russia
In its earlier communica-tion to the boxers and coach-es BFI had said that thosemaking the cut for the finalsof the World Championshipswill earn direct selection forthe Olympics qualifier Theothers were supposed to gothrough a trial process
Strangely BFI had a differ-ent take for its men boxersFor them winning bronze atthe Worlds would have beenenough to earn a direct shotat the qualifiers It is under-stood that the decision wastaken as the BFI top brassdeemed the womenrsquos compe-tition relatively easier com-pared to the menrsquos
However today BFI presi-dent Ajay Singh said thatthere cannot be differentselection criteria for boththe teams ldquoThe men andwomen will have the sameselection criteria I will makeit official soonrdquo Singh toldThe Tribune on the sidelinesof a felicitation ceremony tohonour the womenrsquos teamthat won four medals
Nikhat left high and dryThe decision means thatNikhat Zareen will not get ashot to clinch a spot for the
first qualifier BFI had con-troversially stopped Nikhatfrom challenging Mary inthe 51kg category afterdeciding not to hold the tri-al despite taking out thedraws in August BFI tookthis arbitrary decision afterMary threatened to notappear in the trial
Todayrsquos decision which isyet to be communicated tothe BFI executive will onceagain leave both Nikhat andVanlal Duati high and dry
Singh explained that thisu-turn came about becauseof the realisation that medalwinners would have wonautomatic qualification forthe 2020 Tokyo Olympicshad it not been for the sus-pension of the internationalboxing association (AIBA) bythe International OlympicCommittee (IOC) ldquoI am clearin my mind but I will have tohave a meeting with my BFIcolleagues about this issueBut my personal opinion isthat whoever has won amedal at the World Champi-onships should automatical-ly take part in the qualifiersrdquoSingh said
Mary surprisedThe decision came as a sur-prise to Mary ldquoI am veryhappy and I am thankfulthat he (president) took thisdecision It also reflectsthat he has belief in myabilitiesrdquo she said
However the federationhas not decided on whathappens if Mary or Lovlinafail to earn qualifications inWuhan A top official saidthat they will take a finaldecision about selection forthe second Olympics quali-fier scheduled to be held inParis in May 2020
ldquoIdeally if she (Mary) does-nrsquot earn qualification thenwe should give a chance toothersrdquo said a BFI official

nation for the post of BCCIpresident unopposed It willbe a short tenure but hisname would be etched in theBCCI history The new teamassumes office on October 23
Though Shah claimedthere has been no deal withGanguly over BCCI presi-dentship sources say he met
the Home Minister before thejigsaw finally fell into place
Shah yesterday said hewasnrsquot the one to decide whowill be BCCI president Healso said there has been nosuch deal or talks betweenthem and ldquoit was just bad-mouthing Gangulyrdquo

Mumbai October 15The reports of assets worthhundreds of crores beingseized from the Wadhawanfamily and office-bearers ofthe troubled PMC Bank Lim-ited have sparked off opti-mism among members ofMumbairsquos Sikh community
ldquoPMC Bank is not closingdown The depositorsrsquomoney is absolutely safeand the bank has enoughassets as collateral that canbe sold to recover moneylent to borrowersrdquo saysTara Singh BJP MLA fromMulund in Mumbai
According to Singh hisfather Partap Singh was oneof the founders of the bankthat was founded in the
1980s to cater to small busi-nessmen like transportersand taxi drivers from theSikh community
Though Singh is not anoffice-bearer in the bank hisson Rajneet was one of itsdirectors The BJP has notfielded Tara Singh in next
weekrsquos Assembly electionsand efforts by him to get theparty ticket for Rajneetfailed because of the latterrsquoslink to PMC Bank
Tara Singh refuses to speakon what went wrong at thePMC Bank and its close linksto the Wadhwan family pro-
moters of Housing and Devel-opment Infrastructure Limit-ed (HDIL) which is facingbankruptcy
He however insisted thathis son Rajneet had nothingto do with the day-to-dayadministration of the bankldquoThe day-to-day administra-tion of the bank was handledby Managing Director JoyThomas and other bankemployeesrdquo says Singh
Prominent leaders of theSikh community who havebeen meeting in Mumbaiever since the ReserveBank of India announcedrestrictions on money with-drawal by depositors lastmonth have been dis-cussing various measures tohelp rescue the bank
ldquoWe are in the process of col-
lecting information from thedepositors and we will file apetition in the High Courtrdquosays Raghubir Singh Gillpresident Guru Singh Sabha
Leaders of the Sikh com-munity who are in touch withthe Mumbai police feelassets being seized from theformer office-bearers of thebank and the Wadhawans besold so that depositorsrsquofunds could be restored
Investigators from the eco-nomic offences wing of theMumbai police claim to haveattached plots of landhotels commercial and resi-dential properties belongingto the Wadhawans and for-mer office-bearers of thebank ndash former ChairmanWaryam Singh and formerMD Joy Thomas

NewDelhi October 15The Boxing Federation ofIndia (BFI) has once againtweaked its selection policyfor the womenrsquos team Nowall the medal winners fromthe World Championshipswill get automatically select-ed for the AsiaOceaniaOlympics qualifier sched-uled to be held in WuhanChina in February 2020
The decision will benefitboth Mary Kom (51kg) andLovlina Borghoin (69kg)who won bronze medals atthe recently-concludedWorld Championships inUlan-Ude Russia
In its earlier communica-tion to the boxers and coach-es BFI had said that thosemaking the cut for the finalsof the World Championshipswill earn direct selection forthe Olympics qualifier Theothers were supposed to gothrough a trial process
Strangely BFI had a differ-ent take for its men boxersFor them winning bronze atthe Worlds would have beenenough to earn a direct shotat the qualifiers It is under-stood that the decision wastaken as the BFI top brassdeemed the womenrsquos compe-tition relatively easier com-pared to the menrsquos
However today BFI presi-dent Ajay Singh said thatthere cannot be differentselection criteria for boththe teams ldquoThe men andwomen will have the sameselection criteria I will makeit official soonrdquo Singh toldThe Tribune on the sidelinesof a felicitation ceremony tohonour the womenrsquos teamthat won four medals
Nikhat left high and dryThe decision means thatNikhat Zareen will not get ashot to clinch a spot for the
first qualifier BFI had con-troversially stopped Nikhatfrom challenging Mary inthe 51kg category afterdeciding not to hold the tri-al despite taking out thedraws in August BFI tookthis arbitrary decision afterMary threatened to notappear in the trial
Todayrsquos decision which isyet to be communicated tothe BFI executive will onceagain leave both Nikhat andVanlal Duati high and dry
Singh explained that thisu-turn came about becauseof the realisation that medalwinners would have wonautomatic qualification forthe 2020 Tokyo Olympicshad it not been for the sus-pension of the internationalboxing association (AIBA) bythe International OlympicCommittee (IOC) ldquoI am clearin my mind but I will have tohave a meeting with my BFIcolleagues about this issueBut my personal opinion isthat whoever has won amedal at the World Champi-onships should automatical-ly take part in the qualifiersrdquoSingh said
Mary surprisedThe decision came as a sur-prise to Mary ldquoI am veryhappy and I am thankfulthat he (president) took thisdecision It also reflectsthat he has belief in myabilitiesrdquo she said
However the federationhas not decided on whathappens if Mary or Lovlinafail to earn qualifications inWuhan A top official saidthat they will take a finaldecision about selection forthe second Olympics quali-fier scheduled to be held inParis in May 2020
ldquoIdeally if she (Mary) does-nrsquot earn qualification thenwe should give a chance toothersrdquo said a BFI official
