As India marches deeper into this century it will also be interesting, if the supposedly developed states start aiming for tougher benchmarks. For e.g. States like TN, KL can start comparing themselves with developed countries in our neighborhood like Malaysia, China etc and see how we compare against them. And strive to achieve their levels within a period of 10 to 15 years. While the remaining states should set targets of achieving higher scores within the country. This is what will really push India to the next stage.

Problem is that those high development group are sharing their wealth through cgst with all the other lagging states too. So this metric also wouldn't be equalizing enough.

No doubt Modi is doing a good job in the eyes of the people cause he wouldn't come back with greater majority in 2019. It is critical to point out specific steps taken by the govt in terms of regulation to boost the economy and states in various parameters. UP needs to divided into at least 2 if not 3 states. UP does not contribute monetarily to the Indian economy and holds a too many 80 seats in the Lokh Sabha.

[@surajitgoswami1871]

There is the third India, namely, West Bengal, the North Korea of India playing by its own rules. And it is not just the Government but the private health care sector as well. Recently, the state authorities found out that its prestigious hospitals were charging much more than Vellore but, at least in one case, with worse outcomes. A patient went to Vellore and saved his leg after having been told that amputation was necessary and showed the two bills, one from Kolkata and the other eye-poppingly lower from Vellore. All West Bengal needs is the nuclear bomb.

[@ayonbiswas4186]

Private health-care sector works more like a hyper-aggressive profit making industry rather than actually acting like a care-giver institution. This is partly because most of them for a majority of time cater to foreign populations. I remember 2-3 years back Apollo Kolkata charged Rs.3500 for an ultrasonography which was charged at Rs.750 by Apollo Chennai!! Btw, why so much hate for Bengalis?!!

This data validates what many talked about during the second wave in India. Delhi, UP and the other northern states fared so much worse because of their lack of quality healthcare compared to the southern / western states. States like Kerala, Maharashtra always topped the charts when it came to covid infections but were able to manage the wave much better because of their infrastructure.

[@aryankumarjha4274]

Kerala, maharshtra and Bombay were the most affected states despite good healthcare facilities

[@alanpauls007]

@@aryankumarjha4274 I think its not just that they were the most affected, it is more that they had the facilities to detect covid the most. So for example if 10 people got covid, lets say 6-7 would be detected in maharashtra/kerala etc but in UP/Rajasthan etc this same number would be close to 2-3 out of 10 would be detected. This same phenomenon was reported during all the national sero surveys done by the indian ministry of health. So its not that Kerala/Maharashtra were the most affected despite thier facilities but rather becasue of thier facilities they detected the most covid cases

Sir, could you please dedicate some of your time to speak on the NEETPG 2021 counselling issue. Thousands of candidates (doctors) including myself have cleared the exam, but the central government has been issuing apathetic one-sided decisions which has been delaying the counselling process for many months. This could have a grace implication because there would be severe dearth of specialist doctors in the upcoming months. This could be disastrous to the Health system of India with the third wave looming large. You could do a great benefit to the nation by giving the general population a deeper perspective to this topic.

@@pradeepdj1 I would say the most neglected region is eastern India. Just search freight equalisation policy then u will know wt discrimination was met out to eastern Region. Jharkhand, chattisgarh, westbengal despite being mineral rich state couldn't get the benefit of industries because central govt. ensured same cost for industries all across India so they set up industries in coastal states only so that they could trade their product through sea routes easily without getting stuck in logistics. Bihar, assam, eastern UP every year faces big loss due to floods and making agriculture along these flood plains a loss making job forcing smaller land owning people to move out as labourers. Only in last 10-15 yrs, eastern states are catching up with the help of digitization and big ticket infra projects which was long due since independence. Setting up bengaluru and hyderabad as IT hubs would not have been possible without center's help whereas no such cluster for eastern India. Congress ruled southern states and hence favoured them and neglected eastern states since they were driven out of power post economic liberalisation in 1991. That's how things have been.

[@Prashant44082]

@@pradeepdj1 That's not True. I'm all praise for the people of Southern states progress but few facts here are needed. All states are south are coastal states, and that gives them easy access to global trade route, so they obviously will be richer, it's same for every other country in the world. Just take US, both the East and West Coast states are much richer than continental states. Also, as far as government spending in concerned, yes on total basis North gets more fund than South, but on per capita basis Southern states receive more fund than North. Another thing owing to the coastal location, and also due to policies like freight equalisation, Southern states have gone much more investment in it's infrastructure and such than the northern states, not to mention none of the Southern states suffer from natural disasters as heavily as Northern States (or Eastern States) for that matter. So yes, while I do agree that all Southern states deserve praise for achieving this result, and surely the social reforms brought about by their own leaders have helped, but that is not all there is to it. It's both a combination of self-discipline and lot of lucky breaks.
