editor’s note
Let us support surgical strike against
black money
The announcement by the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi on the evening of 8th November came
across as a shock to almost everyone on its first day. The disbelief on demonetization of old Rs
500 and Rs 1000 currency notes turned into appreciation and then into rumors and what not. Yet
the fact remains that despite inconvenience, the masses have accepted it with a pinch of salt
because they can see the havoc it will create on the black money economy in this country.
The move is expected to benefit the
bioscience industry both directly and
indirectly and we will be uncovering all
aspects of the aftermath regularly. The
prominent industry voices have rallied behind
the decision and many have called it a
massive system reboot. There would be
crashing but ultimately the speed (economy
here) will be boosted. Let’s hope it does!
