Re: Malnutrition: India beats sub-Saharan Africa
While the report may be statistically true, one has to have a balanced view.India is the 7th largest country in the world with 35 states accountable to the Constitution of India , not the PM or President.Madhya Pradesh, for eg. , before division was as big as Germany.Madhya Pradesh has had successive non performing state governments in comparison to a state such as Tamilnadu where governance is much better.Each state in India is accountable for it's own performance.Nor can a state government be dismissed for non-performance by the President of India, Dr.APJ Abdul Kalam.Only the Supreme Court can enforce binding arbitration on a state.These and others are some of the reasons why processes take long to come to bear in India.
That is why certain areas of India are more prosperous than others.But, overall, India is doing very well.There is a marked improvement in the country in all spheres.Rural India is also slowly heeding the wake-up call.It will take another decade for overall improvement to be visible.I wish the same for all the countries of our region.
