From Berlin to Bihar…. For ‘India that is Bharat’ to do better, Bihar and Poorvanchal would need to grow much faster. Bihar’s rapid development depends upon capacity-building of Bihar Government’s 13 lakh employees to national and global levels. Was happy to contribute to ‘Bihar

For all those interested in quick justice in India, a must–read by the outstanding @sumitamisra .In the next few years, criminal justice delivery ecosystem would improve in states that implement the 3 new laws well. Hope to see commercial and civil justice delivery ecosystems.
Sharing my article titled *“How Haryana Leads the Way in Implementing New Criminal Laws*“ published in The Indian Express today. I have highlighted Haryana’s Initiatives under the New Criminal Laws leading to tech-driven reforms, swift trials and record conviction rates .

On my 3 day Berlin visit, much learning. #German companies, especially in Automotives and Semiconductors, diversifying their supply chains following the ABC approach: Anywhere But China. Current facilities in China would continue, but new capacities largely for local consumption.

Aadhaar is a number linked to your fingerprints and iris. Nothing more. Aadhaar verification (with OTP) proves your identity. Easy to understand. Aadhaar is NOT a paper card, which can be photoshopped - passports, voter ID EPICs, high-school mark sheets, birth certificates can.
It can’t prove date of birth, it can’t get you a passport, it can’t save you from getting pushed out forcibly to Bangladesh. My high-school mark sheet did all three, without any digilocker mumbo-jumbo. What is Aadhaar good for then? Genuine question.

In Nov 2013, had written about the prevailing ‘decision-making strike’ and ‘investment strike’ - listing out six factors holding back decisions: 5Cs and 1 M. See link below. Do read and see how much is relevant even today? . Much has improved by 2025 to reduce policy paralysis.

Very different perspective, @paranjoygt & Gunjan Sinha. Expressways are meant for vehicles at high speed. For such vehicles, trees would be fatal risks in collisions. Nowhere in the world do access-controlled expressways have trees adjoining carriageway - there is always a.
Respected Gadkari ji,.As a child, I had read that Sher Shah, during his five-year rule, built a road from Sasaram to Peshawar. Alongside those roads, he had fruit-bearing and shady trees planted, and inns constructed at regular intervals. Gadkari ji, Sher Shah lived five hundred.

Why should our taxes fund illegal immigrants? Our taxes should go to help our fellow Indian poor.
