  The need for an all Indian middle class cost of living index was felt on several occasions in connection with the fixation and adjustments of emoluments of Central Government employees. The Central Statistical Organisation carried out a family living survey of urban middle class population during 1958-59 to facilitate construction of middle class cost of living indices. On the basis of this survey data, a cost of living index number named as CPI(UNME) on base1960=100 was compiled and published since 1961. This index depicts the changes in the level of average retail prices of goods and services consumed by the urban segment of the population. The target group of this index was urban families who derived major portion of their income from non manual occupations in the non-agricultural sector.This index had a limited use as it was used for determining dearness allowances of employees of some foreign companies working in India in service sectors such as airlines, commu

This index is the oldest among the CPI indices as its dissemination started as early as in 1946. The history of compilation and maintenance of Consumer Price Index for Industrial workers owes its origin to the deteriorating economic condition of the workers post first world war which resulted in sharp increase in prices. As a consequence of rise in prices and cost of living, the provincial governments started compiling Consumer Price Index. The estimates were however not satisfactory. In pursuance of the recommendation of Rau Court of enquiry, the work of compilation and maintenance was taken over by government in 1943. Since 1958-59, the compilation of CPI(IW) has been started by Labour Bureau ,an attached office under Ministry of Labour & Employment. Consumer Price Index Numbers for Industrial workers measure a change over time in prices of a fixed basket of goods and services consumed by Industrial Workers. The target group is an average working class family b

  Labour Bureau has been compiling CPI Numbers for Agricultural Labourers since September, 1964.The base of CPI(AL) was 1960-61=100. This series of CPI Numbers was then replaced by CPI for (i) Agricultural and (ii) Rural Labourers with base 1986-87=100 from November, 1995 onwards . CPI for Agricultural and Rural labourers on base 1986-87=100 is a weighted average of 20 constituent state indices and it measures the extent of change in the retail prices of goods and services consumed by the agricultural and rural labourers as compared with the base period viz 86-87. This index is released on the 20th of the succeeding month. CPI-AL is basically used for revising minimum wages for agricultural labour in different States.

The CPI(IW) and CPI(Al & RL) pertain to specific segment of population. Since these indices do not cover all segments of population, it is difficult to ascertain the true variations in the price level . To overcome this problem, a new index with a wider coverage is now being computed, CPI(Urban) and CPI(Rural) by Central Statistics Office under Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation. This series of CPI has two components, one a representative of the entire urban population, viz. CPI (Urban), and another for the entire rural population, viz. CPI (Rural) These indices reflect the changes in the price levels of various goods and services consumed by the urban and rural population respectively. The indices are compiled at State/UT and all-India levels and are based on 2010 as base year. CPI (urban) covers 310 towns while the span of CPI(rural) is 1181 villages. Index Numbers for both rural and urban areas and also combined have been started from January

CCI is one of the new Standing Committee of the Cabinet for focussed and speedy decisions for infrastructure. Prior to setting up of the CCI, infrastructure development was conventionally, and by implication included in the general mandate of CCEA/ Cabinet. CCI considers and takes decisions in respect of all infrastructure related proposals costing more than specified levels (Rs. 3 Billion at present) specifically those concerning Energy, Railways, Roads, and National Highways, Ports, Airports, Telecommunications, Information Technology, Irrigation, Housing and Urban Development with particular emphasis on rural housing and augmentation of facilities in urban slums. The CCI also considers and decides fiscal, financial, institutional and legal measures that are required to enhance investment in the infrastructure sector, including grant of requisite approvals to facilitate private sector investment in specific projects. The CCI both lays down parameters and targets for perfo

It has a mandate to review economic trends on a continuous basis, as also the problems and prospects, with a view to evolving a consistent and integrated economic policy framework for the country. It also directs and coordinates all policies and activities in the economic field including foreign investment that require policy decisions at the highest level. Matters regarding fixation of prices of agricultural products as well as reviewing progress of activities related to rural development including those concerning small and marginal farmers are in CCEA’s competence. Price controls of industrial raw materials and products, industrial licensing policies including industrial licensing cases for establishment of Joint Sector Undertakings, reviewing performance of Public Sector Undertakings including their structural and financial restructuring are also within the purview of CCEA, as are all matters relating to disinvestment including cases of strategic sale, and pricing of Government

Economists usually distinguish between inflation and a relative price increase. ‘Inflation’ refers to a sustained, across-the-board price increase, whereas ‘a relative price increase’ is a reference to an episodic price rise pertaining to one or a small group of commodities. This leaves a third phenomenon, namely one in which there is a price rise of one or a small group of commodities over a sustained period of time, without a traditional designation. ‘Skewflation’ is a relatively new term to describe this third category of price rise. In India, food prices rose steadily during the last months of 2009 and the early months of 2010, even though the prices of non-food items continued to be relatively stable. As this somewhat unusual phenomenon stubbornly persisted, and policymakers conferred on how to bring it to an end, the term ‘skewflation’ made an appearance in internal documents of the Government of India, and then appeared in print in the Economic Survey 2009-10, Gov

  The agenda for inclusive growth was envisaged in the Eleventh Plan document which intended to achieve not only faster growth but a growth process which ensures broad-based improvement in the quality of life of the people, especially the poor, SCs/STs, other backward castes (OBCs), minorities and women and which seeks to provide equality of opportunity to all. Bringing these excluded sections of the society into the mainstream of the society so that they are able to reap the benefits of faster economic growth is the kind of ‘inclusion’ which is being envisioned in the concept of inclusive growth. Inclusive growth means economic growth that creates employment opportunities and helps in reducing poverty. It means having access to essential services in health and education by the poor. It includes providing equality of opportunity, empowering people through education and skill development. It also encompasses a growth process that is environment friendly growth, aim

Share on linkedin Share on pdfmyurl Share on email Core Inflation is also known as underlying inflation, is a measure of inflation which excludes items that face volatile price movement, notably food and energy. In other words, Core Inflation is nothing but Headline Inflation minus inflation that is contributed by food and energy commodities. To understand the concept in a better way we can say that food and fuel prices may go up in the short run due to some disturbance in the agriculture sector or oil economy. However, over the long term they tend to revert back to their normal trend growth. On the other hand, prices of other commodities do not fluctuate as regularly as food and fuel – as such increase in their prices could be taken relatively to be much more of a permanent nature. If this is so, then it follows logically for Central Banks to target only core inflation, as it reflects the demand side pressure in the economy. In practice too, the Reserve Bank of Ind

The Medium-term Expenditure Framework Statement is a statement presented to the Parliament under Section 3 of the Fiscal Responsibility and Budget Management (FRBM) Act, 2003 and sets forth a three-year rolling target for the expenditure indicators with specification of underlying assumptions and risks involved. The statement provides an estimate of expenditure commitments for various items viz. Education, Health, Rural Development, Energy, Subsidies and Pension etc. While formulating the MTEF Statement, information on expenditure commitments spread across the various central ministries on salaries (including grants-in-aid for salaries) and pensions, grants-in-aid for creation of capital assets, major programme, interest payment, defence expenditure and major subsidies etc. and other commitments of Government, will be considered. To take an example, in MTEF, salary component which now appears scattered amongst the various Demand for Grants of central Ministries would be a

  The agricultural crop year in India is from July to June. The Indian cropping season is classified into two main seasons-(i) Kharif and (ii) Rabi based on the monsoon. The kharif cropping season is from July –October during the south-west monsoon and the Rabi cropping season is from October-March (winter). The crops grown between March and June are summer crops. Pakistan and Bangladesh are two other countries that are using the term ‘kharif’ and ‘rabi’ to describe about their cropping patterns. The terms ‘kharif’ and ‘rabi’ originate from Arabic language where Kharif means autumn and Rabi means spring. The kharif crops include rice, maize, sorghum, pearl millet/bajra, finger millet/ragi (cereals), arhar (pulses), soyabean, groundnut (oilseeds), cotton etc. The rabi crops include wheat, barley, oats (cereals), chickpea/gram (pulses), linseed, mustard (oilseeds) etc. In an agricultural year (July-June), the Directorate of Economics & Statistics (DES), Department of

Every country has its own set of commodity basket to track inflation. While some countries use Wholesale Price Index (WPI) as their official measure of inflation and some others use the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The International Monetary Fund (IMF) statistics reveals that, while 24 countries use WPI as the official measure to track inflation, 157 countries use CPI. Conceptually these two measures of inflation stress different stages of price realization as well as composition: while WPI measures the change in price level at wholesale market, CPI measures the change in price level at retail level. In India, headline inflation is measured through the WPI – which consists of 676 commodities (services are not included in WPI in India). It is measured on year-on-year basis i.e., rate of change in price lev

Agricultural Marketing Information Network (AGMARKNET) was launched in March 2000 by the Union Ministry of Agriculture.

North Indian temple The typical Hindu temple in northern India , on plan, consists of a square garbhagriha preceded by one or more adjoining pillared mandapa s (porches or halls), which are connected to the sanctum by an open or closed vestibule ( antarala ). The entrance doorway of the sanctum is usually richly decorated with figures of river goddesses and bands of floral, figural, and geometric ornamentation . An ambulatory is sometimes provided around the sanctum. The shikhara is usually curvilinear in outline, and smaller rectilinear shikhara s frequently top the mandapa s as well. The whole may be raised on a terrace ( jagati ) with attendant shrines at the corners. If a temple is dedicated to the god Shiva , the figure of the bull Nandi , the god’s mount, invariably faces the sanctum, and, if dedicated to the god Vishnu , standards ( dhvaja- stambha ) may be set up in front of the temple That the prototype of the North Indian temple already existed in the 6th century can

  Rare Earth (RE) magnets, such as samarium-cobalt, find use in Atomic Energy, Space and Defence industries for a variety of strategic and non-strategic applications. These exhibit superior quality in terms of performance ability, device miniaturization capability and stability at high operating temperatures. These are becoming increasingly indispensable components in high power motors, micro motors, alternators, couplers, bearings, and actuators etc. that cater to various non-strategic industries. The requirement of Rare Earth Permanent Magnets (REPM) in the country is currently met by imports. Considering the dual uses of these and the fact that India is a non-signatory to Non-proliferation Treaty (NPT), the availability of the magnets has been scarce to the country. In view of the above, there is a dire need for making indigenous effort to produce REPM. Indian Rare Earths Limited (IREL) has set up facilities for producing separated high pure RE oxides from mixed RE

  In continuation of the Indian Navy’s overseas deployment to West Asia, Africa and Europe , INS Trikand entered Safaga today for a three-day visit.

Germany and India on Tuesday signed an two agreements to fund 125 million Euros for the Green Energy Corridors’ project in Andhra Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh. Germany’s development bank, KFW, will fund 57 million Euro for the project at Himachal Pradesh, and 68 million Euro for the Andhra Pradesh project, a press statement from the government said. The agreements were signed at a time when Germany’s chancellor Angela Merkel is on a state visit in India. Renewable Energy is one of the key areas of India-German partnership. The financing of the transmission infrastructure of renewable energy projects, the Centre and State grids will be strengthened to evacuate more green energy, the statement said. “With the Green Energy Corridors, the intra-State network will feed the renewable energy to the respective State grids and the high capacity transmission corridors and inter-State network will connect major renewable energy pockets with the national grid,” it added.
