A look on existing food subsidy systen
1972, poverty is being calculated in terms of calories.2100 calories for Urban and 2400 calories for rural areas are the yardsticks to measure poverty in India. Another report published in 2007 put a even more severe picture before us .This report was prepared by National Commission for Enterprises in the Unorganized Sector, headed by Arjun Sengupta, said 77% of the population subsist at just Rs 12 per person per day, much below the prevailing minimum wage, which ranges between Rs 40 to Rs 150 a day across states.
A indictment of existing food subsidy system—
This time committee report which came yesterday set up by rural development ministry and headed by N.C Sexana figure out the similar conclusion, it say that if we measure the actual poverty of the country on the basis of calorie intake then more than half of our total population will enjoy the yellow ration card. It figure out that number of poor people in country are at least double the officially declared poor in India and recommended to enlarging the category to those who entitled to take cheaper food from government.
What conclusion came from Delhi WTO talks?
Concern of Brazil and some European countries-
these countries had feared that United states wanted to unpick what has already been agreed over seven years but Delhi talk provided comfort to them as meeting decided that talk will resume on the basis of draft negotiating text issued in Dec 2008.
What India wants from Doha round talks—
Uttermost demand by the India (supported by devolving country group) is that there should be no upper limit for increasing duties; it should be left totally on the developing countries to fix it according to their market needs. Second point is that special safeguard measure should be much lower than existing 150%.
American stand-
US demand is that import duty should be increased only when it crosses the specified level which was decided in Uruguay talks and demand of new safeguard duty by devolving country should not be beyond that.

my area of interest widened
These days I m taking the ideas of Amar and Arun on much extent as they have the all time welcomed nature so I never hesitate to ask them about my doubts .When I was in home during the summer vacation I used to envisaged about plan which I would do in my third semester. All plans were based on my civil preparation’s had decided that i will give my most of the time on civil prep
rather than boring math and when I came here I saw the list of teachers allotted to teach us. I was thrilled to see that three of them are nari (women).it was really a very exciting news for me not on the basis that they are attractive (in fact two of them are) but for my own perception that women use to more liberal than men.
my perception came true 100% as I never study their subject except before the exams .I gave two quizzes related to their subject and I did well (meaning of well means average in my sense for math).
these days I m giving most of my times on news papers and discussion with Amar as he has been constant source of motivation for me since I met with him in IITB .His clarity about his views made me aware that how much remains to learn from him. Two days ago he gave me full idea of newspaper reading (esp. economics times) and I begin to work on his road map.

second part of rightup about my teachers and classmates
I will give u a full description of them one by one. The list is here
S. BASKAR
M. K SRINIVASHAN
A.R SHASTRI
AMER ATHWALE
SHRIPAD GARGE
in my first sem among five of my teachers two were really interesting.
First S. Baskar (not Bhaskar) what kind of name it is? any way he like his name because each time whenever he used to give tutorials to us never forget to write his name on top .On beginning of the semester he left no effort to terrorized us but did not succeed .his common line I would not forget ever, "can anybody tell me how to solve this?" And his hand had to come before (generally toward Manoj , Arundhati orShirish) us.
