India’s public spending on health well below global avg: Survey
NEW DELHI: The country’s public spending on health is “little over” 1 per cent of GDP, the Economic Survey said today, adding that there are “insufficient” instances of good models in the health sector.
“Given the pressing need to redistribute, India did not invest sufficiently in human capital – for instance, public spending on health was an unusually low 0.22 per cent of the GDP in 1950-51.
“This has risen to a little over 1 per cent today, but well below the world average of 5.99 per cent,” the survey tabled in Parliament said.
It said that as per Reserve Bank of India data, expenditure on social services by Centre and states, as a proportion of GDP was 7.0 per cent during 2016-17 (Budget Estimate), with education and health sectors accounting for 2.9 per cent and 1.4 per cent respectively.
“The year 2014-15 in respect of which latest actual figures are available showed a significant decline from the RE level following a large decrease in actual social sector expenditure of the states from the revised estimates,” it said.
It said that on state capacity, delivery of essential services such as health and education, which are predominantly the preserve of state governments, remains “impaired”.
“But on health and education there are insufficient instances of good models that can travel widely within India and that are seen as attractive political opportunities. Competitive populism needs a counterpart in competitive service delivery,” it said.
The Economic Survey said that a second distinctive feature of the Indian economic model is the “weakness” of state capacity, especially in delivering essential services such as health and education. (AGENCIES)

India unimpressed by Saeed’s detention, wants crackdown on terror
NEW DELHI: India was today not impressed by the detention of Hafiz Saeed, saying only a “credible crackdown” on terror outfits, including Saeed’s, will prove Pakistan’s sincerity as such actions had been taken against the 26/11 Mumbai attack mastermind in the past too.
“We have also noted that Hafiz Saeed and four others have been placed under preventive detention.
“Exercises such as yesterday’s orders against Hafiz Saeed and others have been carried out by Pakistan in the past also. Only a credible crack down on the mastermind of the Mumbai terrorist attack and terrorist organisations involved in cross border terrorism would be proof of Pakistan’s sincerity,” MEA spokesman Vikas Swarup said.

India one of world’s largest recipients of FDI: Survey
NEW DELHI: India has become one of the largest recipients of foreign direct investment on account of reform measures taken by the Government, the Economic Survey for 2016-17 said today.
“FDI reform measures were implemented, allowing India to become one of the world’s largest recipients of foreign direct investment … India’s FDI has risen sharply over time,” the document, which was tabled in Parliament today, said.
In the most recent year, it said FDI is running at an annual rate of USD 75 billion, which is not far short of the amounts that China was receiving at the height of its growth boom in the mid-2000s.
The Government has liberalised and simplified the foreign direct investment (FDI) policy in sectors like defence, railway infrastructure, construction and pharmaceuticals.
It said many new initiatives have been taken up to facilitate investment and ease of doing business in the country such as Make-in-India, Invest India, Start Up India and e-biz Mission Mode Project.
Further it said surging net FDI inflows, which grew from 1.7 per cent of GDP in FY’2016 to 3.2 per cent of GDP in the second quarter of FY’2017, helped the balance-of-payments. (AGENCIES)

CBDT identifies 18 lakh people with suspicious deposits
NEW DELHI: The Income Tax department has identified 18 lakh people who have made ‘suspicious’ cash deposits post demonetisation, including those having deposited over Rs 5 lakh, and will send emails and SMSes seeking explanation about their source of funds.
These people will have to reply within 10 days to avoid any notice from the tax department or further enforcement action.
The department today launched ‘Operation Clean Money’ project under which CBDT, with data analysis and profiling of assessees, will send e-communications to people whose cash deposits post November 8 note ban do not match their income.
“Operation Clean Money/Swachh Dhan Abhiyan is a programming software which will be used to get answers on all the deposits made and after preliminary answers from the people. Then only, if need be, we would take legal action against those people,” Revenue Secretary Hasmukh Adhia said.
Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) Chairman Sushil Chandra said 10 days’ time would be given to people to reply to the e-communication and replies can be filed by logging on to the e-filing portal of the Income Tax department.
“In the initial phase, we are putting data of those persons who have deposited Rs 5 lakh or more and deposits between Rs 3 lakh and Rs 5 lakh of suspicious nature and who have poor tax compliance after November 8,” Chandra said.
Initially, this will cover 18 lakh tax payers whose data will be uploaded on e-filing portal. These people while filing reply have to explain to tax department the sources of deposit.
Chandra said that tax department has compiled huge data which shows that there are over 1 crore accounts where above Rs 2 lakh money have been deposited and involves unique PAN of 70 lakh persons.
“We have compared these vast data with the income profile, turnover and the various other particulars of income available in the income tax data bank. In the first phase where the deposits in account are not matching with our data, we are putting the same on our e-filing portal seeking explanation of source of income,” he said.
Chandra said the intention of the scheme is to avoid any harassment to the tax payer, they need not come to office and online verification would be completed.
“Swachh Dhan Abhiyan is a continuous exercise to widen and deepen the tax base. All the accounts in which money has been deposited will be tracked and we have hired the data analytics and we will identify the ultimate beneficiaries even in layered accounts,” he said. (AGENCIES)

BJP should declare polls as referendum on demonetisation: Cong
CHANDIGARH: Congress leader Sachin Pilot today dared BJP to declare Assembly polls in five states as a referendum on demonetisation if it was confident that the move has helped in checking terrorism, black money, naxalism and drugs menace.
Claiming that demonetisation brought instability in the country, he said “even leaders from BJP are openly admitting that demonetisation is a failed move”.
Pilot, who is Rajasthan PCC chief, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi should tell the public who is responsible for the deaths of 125 people, who lost their lives while standing in queue to withdraw money from banks.
“If BJP is so confident that demonetisation has helped in checking terrorism, black money, naxalism, drugs then it should declare it as a referendum in the poll bound five states,” the former union minister said here.
Maintaining that Congress’ campaign in poll-bound states is “cohesive and positive”, he said the party rebels were not a serious threat as they have already been rejected by the people.
Demanding a white paper from ruling Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD)-BJP in Punjab on the issues of farmers suicides, drugs, industry and debt, he said “People of Punjab have rejected the SAD-BJP alliance and made up their mind to form a Congress government. Shiv Sena (in Maharashtra) has left BJP and after Punjab polls, Akalis will also dump the saffron party.”
Hitting out at Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), he accused the AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal of not fulfilling the constitutional responsibility that the people of Delhi had given to him by a huge mandate.
He alleged that Delhi CM and his all MLAs are campaigning in Punjab and Goa, by ignoring the national capital and public money of Delhi is being “wasted” by AAP on its poll campaign in the two states.
Pilot also attacked AAP for “dumping” the party’s founders Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav.
Rejecting that AAP has an upper edge in 69 Assembly seats in Malwa belt of Punjab, he said, “In the last Lok Sabha four MPs of AAP won from Malwa belt, but now the people have understood that this party throws out important person after getting power.”
Pilot also said that Kejriwal’s alleged move of approaching extermists in Punjab is determental for the border state.
“People are now aware that Kejriwal can go to any extent to get votes, but people will not be swayed by his hollow promises as he miserably failed to deliver in Delhi,” he said.
On the issue of Sutlej Yamuna Link (SYL) Canal, Pilot said that Modi lacked political will to resolve these through the process of dialouge among concerned states.
Hitting out at Parkash Singh Badal’s ten year regime, he said this government was most “unpopular” and people’s mood is against it.
Taking a swipe at AAP MP and party candidate from Jalalabad assembly seat, Bhagwant Mann, he said the behaviour of a person reflects about the party he belongs to in a public life.
“Can they (peoples like Mann) be role model for the country”? he asked.
On the upcoming budget tomorrow, he said that it is “unconstitutional” rather Centre should bring vote on account first. (AGENCIES)

India reacts cautiously to reports of Saeed’s detention
NEW DELHI: India today reacted cautiously to the reports of detention of Mumbai attack mastermind and Jammat-ud-Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed and four others under an anti-terrorism act by Pakistan.
External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Vikas Swarup said the government has seen reports on Pakistan Interior Ministry order placing the JuD and the Falah–e-Insaniyet Foundation under the watchlist and also the notification under which the foundation has been included in the second schedule of their anti-terror legislation under UN Security Council Resolution number 1267.
“We have also noted that Hafiz Saeed and four others have been placed under preventive detention.
“Exercises such as yesterday’s orders against Hafiz Saeed and others have been carried out by Pakistan in the past also. Only a credible crack down on the mastermind of the Mumbai terrorist attack and terrorist organisations involved in cross border terrorism would be proof of Pakistan’s sincerity,” Swarup said.
The Spokesperson further said India has long maintained that the UNSC 1267 provisions pertaining to listing and proscription of known terrorist entities and individuals must be effectively and sincerely enforced by all member states.
“We have also consistently called for bringing known terrorists under the ambit of the 1267 sanctions,” he said.
According to JuD activists, Saeed was at Masjid-e-Qudsia Chauburji in Lahore when police descended there to implement the order of detention issued by Punjab Province’s Interior Ministry in pursuance to a directive from the Federal Interior Ministry on January 27. (AGENCIES)

The mortal remains of the soldiers were airlifted from the snowbound areas yesterday only due to extremely bad weather due to snowfall.
Chinar Corps Commander Lt General J S Sandhu led all ranks of the Corps to pay rich tributes to the soldiers at a wreath laying ceremony organized at Badami Bagh Cantonment, headquarters of the 15 Corps here.
A defence ministry spokesman said as the entire nation salutes the martyrs who made the supreme sacrifice fighting nature’s fury in Kashmir, the Army gave a befitting farewell to its brave hearts in a solemn ceremony at Srinagar.
He said Lt Gen Sandhu and all ranks of the Corps paid rich tributes to the gallant soldiers who lost their lives while serving in the formidable heights along the Line of Control in two separate snow-related incidents in north Kashmir.
Fourteen soldiers had been swept away in a devastating avalanche in Gurez on January 26 while five soldiers in Machhal, who had been rescued after they got trapped under snow when the track caved in on January 28, succumbed to their injuries yesterday.
He said in a show of solidarity, officials from other security agencies including state police, CRPF, BSF and SSB also joined in paying their last respects to the martyrs.
The mortal remains of the martyrs are being taken to their native places where their last rites will be performed by the family members.
The Army stands beside the bereaved families in their loss and shares their grief and pain.
He said the martyrs are being transported from here to New Delhi in an Indian Air force aircraft today.
Schedule for further move from Delhi to respective final destinations of the martyrs is attached, he said.

Captain crosses swords with General in battle for Patiala
PATIALAL A fierce electoral battle is being fought on the plains of Patiala where a former Army chief is crossing swords with an ex-Captain who seeks to retain his hold over the land whose destiny was determined by his forefathers.
Patiala is the pocket borough of Punjab Congress chief Amarinder Singh, who has been declared the party’s chief ministerial candidate, and this time his opponent is Gen (retd) J J Singh of the ruling Shiromani Akali Dal, with a resurgent AAP hoping to pull off a surprise win.
Having won the seat thrice in the past, Amarinder has improved upon the victory margin with every election. In 2012, he had won the seat by about 40,000 votes, despite visiting the constituency only twice. First, for filing his nomination papers and then to address a public meeting.
This time also, he has been seen only once when he came down to file his nomination on January 17. Before that he went around the city paying obeisance at Qila Mubarak, the seat of power from where the founder of Patiala state and his ancestor Baba Ala Singh ruled his kingdom.
He also went to the Kali Mata Temple and the Dukhniwaran Gurdwara before filing his nomination papers. This was followed by a road show which was expectedly a grand success.
It is difficult to imagine Patiala without its royal family. In 1947, a large population of refugees from Pakistan settled here. The then ruler, Maharaja Yadvinder Singh settled these people and provided them amenities.
The bonding continues even now. The grateful Patialvis have expressed their gratitude with repeated emphatic wins of Amarinder and his family members from the constituency.
The Akali Dal sprang a surprise by fielding General (retd) J J Singh, the first Sikh to have become the Army chief, against him.
“For the first time in history a General will be defeated by a Captain”, a confident Amarinder said while reacting to Singh’s nomination.
As Amarinder is busy stumping for party candidates elsewhere, his wife and former Minister of State for External Affairs Preneet Kaur and daughter Jaya Inder Kaur hold the fort for him.
They have always done that for Amarinder. This time, it is the third generation as well with Amarinder’s granddaughter Seher Inder Kaur also joining the campaign.
Seher is the daughter of Amarinder’s son Raninder Singh,
who is busy handling his father’s campaign in Lambi. Amarinder is also contesting from Lambi against Chief Minister and Akali Dal stalwart Parkash Singh Badal.
Besides J J Singh, Balbir Singh of the Aam Aadmi Party, is also in the fray, seeking to make the contest triangular.
In 2014 Lok Sabha polls, Amarinder’s wife had lost Patiala seat to Dharmavira Gandhi of AAP, but maintained a lead from Patiala Assembly segment. AAP has since split in the state and Gandhi is no longer with it.
Entering the poll arena for the first time, J J Singh, a greenhorn in politics, says his motto is “decisive victory against Amarinder who is not accessible and is an arrogant leader drunk with power”.
“It’s mission impossible for Amarinder,” J J Singh claims.
“I am not here to seek vote, but to serve the people,” he says, adding “may the best candidate win”.
The former Army General says political dynamics in Punjab have changed after AAP entered the fray. He feels AAP candidate will eat into the traditional votes of Congress, helping him in the process.
“I am here with no past baggage”…I am fighting a battle against a person with colonial mindset,” he says.
Describing himself as a “true soldier”, Singh says Amarinder was “not a true army personnel”.
“Amarinder joined the Army just to get the rank…He was never active in combat. In the 1965 war, when army personnel were recalled, he should have opted to serve on the border,” he says.
In the absence of Amarinder, Preneet, stil addressed as Maharani, tells people in the constituency: “You trusted me. But now I have come to ask for your vote for Maharaja Sahab. It is your responsibility to give the state another CM. Badals have left Punjab in a sad state. The state has been plundered.”
AAP’s Balbir Singh, however, considers himself a dark horse.
“Why is Amarinder fighting a war by proxy? Where is he?” he asks.
The eye surgeon, who had crafted Dharamvira Gandhi’s campaign against Preneet in 2014 polls, asserts, “First we defeated the Rani. Now it is the turn of the Raja.” (AGENCIES)

Weakening Art 370 will be biggest anti-national act: Mehbooba
JAMMU: In a clear message to ally BJP, Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti today said anybody weakening Article 370, which grants special status to the state, will be doing the “biggest anti-national act” even as she contended that a “conspiracy is being hatched against our culture and state” in this regard.
She also attacked those opposing setting up of colonies for Kashmiri Pandits in the Valley, saying that by doing so, they do not want in their “heart of hearts” the displaced people to return.
Speaking in the Legislative Assembly, she underlined that Pandits cannot go back to live in their original villages and other places in Kashmir in the prevailing security situation when even political workers and MLAs and MLCs are seeking a protective set-up.
On Article 370, Mehbooba, who is running a coalition Government with BJP, said “there are some forces within this country who think that by scrapping Article 370, the issue of Kashmir will be resolved and everything will be alright.” (AGENCIES)

“Corrupt hands” of Manmohan, Chidambaram helped Mallya: BJP
NEW DELHI: Ahead of the Budget Session, BJP today alleged Congress has been pushed against the wall as “corrupt hands” of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Finance Minister P Chidambram ensured bank loans to Vijay Mallya’s “sinking” Kingfisher Airlines.
The party quoted from purported letters written by businessman Mallya to Singh in which he sought his intervention following which his now defunct company received loans.
Claiming that Mallya had written letters to Finance Ministry during UPA’s tenure seeking an appointment with SBI Chairman, Union Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said, “Was the Finance Ministry office during UPA time working as private secretary to SBI Chairman.”
She said congress leaders are passing on the buck to each other but not answering the questions which are being raised on the alleged helping hand extended by their leaders to Mallya.
Replying to a question on setting up a team to investigate the matter, her Cabinet colleague, Piyush Goyal said,”It is a good suggestion which Government should look at. But today we are not here as Government. We are here on behalf of BJP. It is for the Government to decide.”
Sitharaman said, “We will see what we can do about it.” (AGENCIES)

Indian economy not in good shape: Manmohan
NEW DELHI: A day before presentation of Economic Survey, former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today painted a bleak picture of the Indian economy insisting “it is not in good shape” while former Finance Minister P Chidambaram said the Government is “hiding behind” GDP numbers that are being challenged.
Releasing the “Real State of Economy 2017”, a document prepared by the Congress research cell at the party headquarters here, Singh said it speaks about the state of India’s economy, its many issues and where it is heading.
“That the Indian economy is not in a good state is obvious. Even IMF has downgraded our GDP growth and it will not be 7.6 per cent but less than 6.6 per cent,” he said.
Chidambaram said the state of the economy “is not something that we can be happy about” and expressed concern over the low credit growth which he claimed is at 5 per cent, the “lowest in several decades”.
“BJP is hiding behind a GDP number which is being challenged. People are not dazzled by it, but are asking where are the jobs?
“NDA Government tends to believe exaggerated version of economy, this research document is closer to truth than what Government will say tomorrow,” he said.
Chidambaram said every Government must be optimistic, but optimism must stem from a realistic assessment of situation. (AGENCIES)

India U-19 lose first ‘ODI’ despite Rana ton
MUMBAI: Opener Himanshu Rana’s impressive century (101) went in-vain as England U-19 defeated India U-19 in the opening game of the five-match series, here today.
Chasing a total of 256 set by the visitors riding on a Delray Rawlins hundred, India lost teen sensation Prithvi Shaw (9) early but Haryana lad Rana hit 12 boundaries and a six in his 87-ball knock as India were all out for 233 in 42.5 overs. Right-handed Shubhman Gill made 29 off 27 balls.
India colts had a middle order collapse with Salman Khan (8), Mayank Rawat (0), stumper Het Patel (20) going back to the pavilion early.
KL Nagarkoti brought the hosts back into contention with 37-run innings, but it was too late as England was rewarded for bowling in right areas as they bundled out the India colts with more than seven overs to spare.
Skipper Matthew Fisher was the most successful bowler for England colts as he snatched 4 wickets conceding 41 runs. Henry Brookes, Rawlins and Holden grabbed two wickets each.
Earlier, put into bat at the Wankhede stadium, England were tottering at 13 for 3 in the seventh over with opener Max Holden (3), one down George Barlett (3) and Euan Woods (2) falling cheaply.
However, opener Harry Brook stuck a half century (51 off 75 balls) with four boundaries to help his side come out of trouble.
But it was an unbeaten century by No 6 Rawlins, who ensured that the visiting team past the 250-run mark on a pitch, which had some assistance for the bowlers. (AGENCIES)

5 soldiers rescued from avalanche in Macchil sector die
SRINAGAR: Five soldiers, found trapped under snow in Macchil sector and rescued on Saturday, succumbed to injuries today, taking the toll of army personnel killed in avalanches in Kashmir to 20.
Braving inclement weather, Army aviation pilots today airlifted the five injured soldiers from Macchil to Srinagar for specialised treatment, an army official said.
“Unfortunately, all five brave hearts attained martyrdom,” the official said.
The five soldiers were trapped under snow at a forward post in Machhil on Saturday but were rescued by avalanche rescue teams.
Meanwhile, the mortal remains of 14 soldiers who died in an avalanche near the Line of Control (LoC) in Gurez sector of north Kashmir last week were also brought to Srinagar so that they could be sent to their native places for last rites.
The inclement weather was hampering the efforts of the army to airlift the mortal remains of the 14 soldiers who died in Gurez sector of Bandipora district on January 25, defence spokesman Colonel Rajesh Kalia said.
He said Army aviation pilots made repeated attempts during the past week to reach the snow-bound Gurez and Machhil in Kupwara district of north Kashmir and finally managed to evacuate the rescued soldiers besides bringing back the bodies of the deceased soldiers.
While 20 soldiers including an officer have died in avalanches in Kashmir over the past six days, five civilians were also killed in similar incidents in the valley.
The high altitude areas of Kashmir valley experienced heavy snowfall last week as a result of which the soldiers could not be flown to Srinagar as bad weather hampered the flying operations. (AGENCIES)

225 applicants for 2 posts at CIC
NEW DELHI: About 225 people have applied for two positions of Information Commissioners at Central Information Commission.
While M A Khan Yusufi’s term has already ended, Basant Seth will be completing his tenure as Information Commissioner on February 16.
Responding to an RTI application, the Ministry of Personnel has, however, refused to disclose for now details of applicants for the positions citing exemption clauses which allow withholding records of deliberations of the Council of Ministers, Secretaries and other officers and which relate to personal information.
On the question of seeking inspection of files related to the appointments, the Ministry said as of now the file is under submission and after decision is taken it will be uploaded on the web site of the Ministry.
Applicant Commodore (Retd) Lokes Batra said since appointment of two Information Commissioners was not announced even after four months of advertising the posts on September 2, 2016, he decided to file the RTI.
Claiming that in the past similar queries have always been answered, he said he will appeal against the decision.
“None of the information requested falls in the category of exemption clauses making a mockery of transparency,” he claimed.
“In the past, similar queries have always been responded to,” he said, questioning the decision of CPIO, DoPT not to allow file inspection. (AGENCIES)

Budget documents to provide ‘composite’ outflow on schemes
NEW DELHI: The Budget documents will have a different look this time with the Finance Ministry deciding to introduce the concept of ‘composite outflow’ of funds on government schemes by doing away with ‘plan and non-plan’ distinction.
Different ministries and departments as well as the state governments have already been provided with the ‘Guidance note on Plan and non-Plan merger’ for classification on public expenditure.
The Budget documents for 2017-18 fiscal, to be tabled by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley in the Lok Sabha on February 1, is being prepared in the light of new classification.
The Modi government has already replaced the erstwhile Planning Commission with Niti Aayog, thus giving a new focus to boost economic development.
With the removal of the distinction, the expenditure figures in the Part B of the Expenditure Budget document will reflect the ‘composite’ position of public outflow in four categories — General, Social, Economic and others.
According to sources, the government has decided to merge plan and non-plan expenditure in the budgetary classification to ensure that adequate funds are made available for running and maintenance of capital structures created under the government schemes.
Currently, much of the focus is on plan expenditure and often non-plan expenditure which used for maintenance and functioning of the schemes is neglected.
“The impression that more plan expenditure means more development and well-being for the public has turned out to be a misplaced assumption, in practice,” the sources said.
Due to the insufficient provision for maintenance, the assets created out of plan expenditure deteriorate because it is considered to be non-development expenditure, they added.
Citing an example, sources said schools are constructed under plan expenditure, while maintenance of schools and salary of teachers come under non-plan. (AGENCIES)
