India jumps 19 places in World Bank's global logistics performance ranking

[kadamba-warrior]

Need to be in Top-15. Two of the best decisions of Modi : Gadkari and Goyal.

Welcome back mate. Long time!

At last good work showing on the ground at least in transport and defence but major let down is agriculture and jobs

You do realise that a large part of agriculture recovery/development lies with improvement in logistics (like transport)?

Still a long way to go. There's a lot needs to be done on border clearance for international imports / commercial exports. System of clearance is highly complicated & time consuming in Indian ports. No set standard on rate of duty or dutiable commodity. Book might say one thing...but officer on the ground makes up things as he goes along. This is real dampener..& could be very discouraging at times!

We need this government to focus on agriculture like green revolution which had given crores of people job or work in one shot .
industry r moving in automation which will provide lesser jobs in comparison to old times . government must start focusing in blue revolution of fisheries and many allied revolution. We must become no1 agriculture hub for export, science and technologies @proud_indian

The credit situation in India is still quite bad because of UPA policy paralysis, utter mismanagement, terrible fiscal discipline and public bank bloating.

MII and urbanisation (+smart cities) are the silver linings now along with increase in ITI (skilling) and a better monsoon this year.

The sustained job recovery (in formal sector) will come only with better expansion of MII w.r.t low skilled labour intensive jobs like RMG (a new focus program of which has been announced) and improvement of the credit situation.

For the time being (while transition/recovery is ongoing) people should move to the cities to get jobs if they got the drive to succeed, things are looking good there:

Monsoon looks good, SMEs look good, informal sector also looks OK (thats what has been picking up the slack so far and will probably do so for some time to come till more reforms and better programs, investment and credit come through)

Its worth reading this for a neutral take on the whole situation:

Read the full report if you have the time (its worth it).

Here is an interview with one of the authors that is worth a watch:
