Union budget round the corner, it's customary to discuss fiscal prudence and consolidation. But it's also the right time to talk about the need for policy changes, especially those that can unshackle the agriculture sector. First, a word of caution for votaries of minimum support price (MSP) as the primary tool of making the agriculture sector work better. Total value of agricultural and allied output in India is about ₹56 tn, out of which share of food grain is only 17%. Out of this, GoI is able to procure through MSP only 6% of the total agri and allied output, though it has entailed an expenditure of ₹3.4 lakh cr in FY23. (Interestingly, GoI procures 92.8% and 73.6% of paddy produced by Punjab and Haryana, respectively. For wheat, these ratios are 72% and 56.6%, respectively.) Livestock at 31% tops the list, followed by vegetables, fruit and spices at 26%. Fishing and forestry produce corner 7% policy share each. So, it's a grave policy mistake to use MSP as the primary tool of price discovery in agriculture, not to mention as a political tool. Alternatively, the politics of 6% procurement clearly obfuscates a better deal for the 71%.

2023 hit the Indian gaming industry like a never-ending blizzard, akin to a real-life rendition of Murphy’s Law — everything that could go wrong, did go wrong.

Gaza Strip: Hamas said Sunday that Gaza cease-fire talks continue and the group's military commander is in good health, a day after the Israeli military targeted Mohammed Deif with a massive airstrike that local health officials said killed at least 90 people, including children.
