Huge Responsibility
on BJP’s Shoulders
Revealing the
“Skilling” Beauty
This refers to your cover story on
skill development (Skilling Jugger-
naut, April 9). The study has nicely
portrayed the approach of certain
good samaritans in developing
training projects, sacrificing their
personal development and career
prospects at the altar of the social
cause of skill building and employ-
ment generation on distinctive
models. The Ministry of Skill
Development and
Entrepreneurship has the responsi-
bility of forming integred skill de-
velopment schemes among Central
ministries, states and NGO s to pro-
vide on-the-job training avenues,
speedy employment facilities and
supportive systems on technical
and non-technical platforms for
India’s economic development.
Also, the skill development process
must aid proposals for agro-based
growth to teach modern tech-
niques to the rural youth for bal-

This refers to your article on
newly-elected governments’ task
for kick-starting growth (Job at
Hand, April 9). With the massive
win in UP and Uttaran- chal, and
after forming governments in Goa
and Manipur, there is a huge re-
sponsibility on the BJP ’s shoulder to
not only fulfil the promises made to
voters during polls but also create
as many jobs as possible so that the
economy revives. Especially in UP,
the new government will have to
ensure that the law and order situ-
ation improves manifold and the
massive potential of the state is re-
alised in terms of bringing industry
and investment to the state. In
Punjab – which has been won by
the Congress – there is huge finan-
cial burden on the state’s finances.
And like UP, Punjab would also
want a farm loan waiver to give
the stressed farmer the much-
needed relief. But the government
should not ignore SBI chief
Arundhati Bhattacharya’s remark
– farmer loan should not be waived
without due consideration. It
should not be made a general prac-
tice. Otherwise, it is the lending in-
stitutions which will feel the pain
for ever, because the farmer will
know that he does not need to pay

as his loans will get waived off
sooner or later. For reviving
growth, the government needs to
remove all thehurdles on the
ground and provide a single-win-
dow clearance for
all investment, which is going to
benefit the state and generate
employment.

Absence of Proper
Homework
This refers to your article on “Oper-
ation Clean Money” (Herculean
Task, March 26). Though I do un-
derstand the government’s objec-
tives and the scheme initiated to
verify individual deposits after the
demonetisation drive in November
last year, there is still a shortage of
resources to successfully perform
this task. The little time allocated
to complete this shows the absence
of proper homework. Having a
standard operating procedure itself
is not sufficient to carry out the en-
trusted task by officers.
