For post #2 - it would be interesting to see the results of a similar research done for the period after the implementation of NAFSA 2013 ( national food security act) and the free foodgrain program under it post covid. I understand the paper flags the issue of data availability but my hypothesis is - it should have improved nutritional outcomes. I am also not sure about transition away from agri as it works as a safety net and a shock absorber for our large labor market in times of economic distress eg covid era reverse migration
Hi Samarth, thanks for your very insightful comment! We aren't sure either - the recommendations of this paper basically ask for structural economic transformation. Now that's underway, but naturally not happening fast enough. Nor does Indian agriculture seem to benefit from large technological advancements yet
Today’s The Daily Brief touches the core issue of Digital Age with example of Google vs CCI & NCLAT. This gains more importance as recently as in April’2025,The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has prevailed in a landmark antitrust case against Google, with a judge ruling that Google illegally monopolized open-web digital advertising markets, harming consumers and the competitive landscape. This case is part of a broader set of antitrust actions against Google, including a previous case focused on its search engine dominance.The Daily Brief rightly diagnoses that Let Google off too easily, and you might give tech giants a free pass to squeeze competitors and extract rents from the digital economy.
The other study rightly shows agriculture needs a solution, fast.The research that hot weather destroys crops, but that’s not where the story ends. Those effects ripple through India’s population, sending some of our most vulnerable people to a cycle of economic misery and adaptation is very informative and something that touched we all.
