NDA Government : Mid Term Analysis
Given that is is almost 2&1/2 years, it is time to prepare a report card. I have listed out a few and probably missed a few. Do point out the ones missed. I am only interested in Economy and Security.
Path-Breaking (National Security)
1.1) Announced Surgical Strike against Pakistan (that was a strategic game changer from a military strategy and Diplomatic aspects) and its success puts Pakistan in the back foot (adding an element of surprise to future Indian reaction) and gets
Indian Military response out of the straight jacket of Nuclear Blackmail
1.2) Open the Indus Water Treaty and Balochisthan components against Pakistan (concept of sticks)
1.3) Full Return fire without restraint at the border without provocation
1.4) Elevated to the status of being able to partner DTTI of USA
Path Breaking (Economy)
2.1) Demonetization and JAM (Jan Dhan Accounts) and focus on internal black money
2.2) Initial Steps towards Social Security (Low Cost Insurance for All)
2.3) Volunteering LPG subsidy withdrawal
2.4) Activate Benami Properties Act
Incremental (Economy)
3.1) Operationalize UPA initiatives of DBT, extension to LPG subsidy, NREGA and possibly Kerosene
3.2) NREGA refocus towards viable projects
3.3) Focus on Non Renewal Energy Sources (Power Sufficiency) with UDAY and last mile Power connections
3.4) KYC norms for participatory notes
3.5) Transparent Coal Licensing Regime
3.6) Make in India (especially for Defense)
3.7) Sovereign Gold Bonds to reduce Imports
3.8 ) Good focus on reducing top level corruption and get Bureaucrats to be responsible to Industrialists
3.9) Decision to declare NPA of all banks out in the open
3.10) Railways are improving. However lots to be done there.
3.11) Food Inflation slightly better than UPA time. However lot more to be done there to combat shortages.
Weaknesses (Economy)
4.1) No strategic plan to handle External Black Money
4.2) Fiscal Deficit (still not under 2%)
4.3) Jobs situation though stabilized has not kept up.
Skill India is on paper, not comprehensively addressed by tying up with industries
4.4) External Debt (though it has stabilized, no clear path to its reduction)
4.5) Lack of thrust on exports and BoP and lack of coherent strategy to identify the key areas and lack
of support systems for Industries. (Japanese MITI style)
4.6) Lack of wide ranging support among Industrialists for new CAPEX
4.7) Lack of Strategic Planning against future shocks like Oil Prices etc..
4.8 ) Lack of strategic planning to counter corruption at lower levels
4.9) Given that NPA's have been declared, lack of Bankruptcy laws to Handle NPA's
4.10) Lack of Land records digitization
4.11) Lending rates though much better than UPA time, still remain high for Industrialists
4.12) Infrastructure (Ports, Roads and Cold Storage) inefficiencies not addressed (especially freight movement predictability and customs handling)
4.13) Lack of improvement in Agriculture Yields , Crop Insurance innovations to prevent Farmer Suicides
4.14) Long term strategic focus/& research initiatives (DARPA style) on futuristic technologies like 5G in telecom, Robotics, Nanotech, Materials Science etc..
4.15) Need for multiple working groups under Niti-Aayog, instead of centralizing everything in Niti-Aayog.
4.16) Water Resources handling and planning for future Water Shortages.
Weaknesses (National Security)
5.1) Lack of Coherent strategy to combat cyber warfare and counter economic intelligence gathering methods
5.2) Telecom Infrastructure planning is in the hands of pre-dominantly Chinese vendors (Potential routes of Economic Intelligence information loss to China)
5.3) Lack of strategic planning when Chinese vendors are allowed to invest in e-commerce infra companies like PayTM
5.4) Giving GST Network control IT infrastructure to vendors with foreign equity
5.5) Lack of Formal Strategic / Security review of economic investments from foreign countries (especially China and Middle East)
5.6) Lack of Police reforms
5.7) Lack of Judiciary Reforms (no replacement to the now defunct JAC) that holds Judiciary accountable
5.8 ) Lack of robust internal security monitoring mechanisms (needs substantial increase in IB strength and get them to focus on Non-political threats) and inter-agency co-ordination.
5.9) Border Well with Bangladesh still not completed.
5.10) Better Contraband detection equipment in ports.
