take to be the basic development idea: namely, advancing the richness of human life, rather than the richness of the economy in which human beings live, which is only a part of it. Amartya Sen Professor of Economics, Harvard University Nobel Laureate in Economics, 1998 http://hdr.undp.org/en/humandev/ Joseph E Stiglitz Professor of Economics, Columbia University Nobel Laureate in Economics, 2001 In 2011 Time Magazine named him as one of the most 100 influential person in the world. GDP is not a barometer to measure Societal well being. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUaJMNtW6GA
Well- being Income / Consumption / Utility (i.e., Individual Happiness and/or desire fulfillment) Human Capabilities and opportunities – with an explicit role for freedom, agency and rights Food Security National Food availability The food entitlements of individuals and groups. Poverty Deprivation in income / consumption / expenditure Deprivation in human capabilities such as knowledge, longevity, and living standards (e.g., access to water, and services) – more emphasis on self reporting, self esteem, participation and empowerment. Market outcome and Government actions should be judged in terms of valuable Human ends. To understand the Economy what matters most is NOT GDP per capita but Individual entitlements, capabilities and freedoms and rights. We will get into the economical models after we go through the state of World, India, and Indian States on Human Developmental aspects. Next: Capability Approach Blind growth model is 1980s neoliberalism and a very narrow approach, an approach which can result in huge disparity in various forms, and potentially lead developing nations into polarization of wealth and extreme poverty.
Sen 1933 – Martha Nussbaum 1947 – Source: Stanford University Capability Approach is a theoretical framework about • Well being • Development • Justice Roots of this framework can be traced back to Karl Marx to Adam Smith to Aristotle. However, Economist Philosopher Amartya Sen pioneered the approach and Philosopher Martha Nussbaum & others enhanced it further. Core Ideas Functioning Capabilities Beings Doings • Healthy • Educated • Illiterate • Under Nourished • Being depressed • Travelling • Caring for child • Voting in an election • Taking part in a debate • Donating money to charity Examples Capabilities are a person’s real freedoms or opportunities to achieve functionings. Thus while travelling is functioning, real opportunity to travel is the corresponding capability. Conversion Factors Another important idea in Capability Approach is the Conversion Factors. It’s the usability of a product to enhance the functioning. For E.g., a bicycle can enhance the mobility of a person to move around.
to refer exclusively to a person’s abilities or other internal powers but to refer to an opportunity made feasible, and constrained by both • Internal (personal) • External (social & environmental) conversion factors. Next: Organization of this presentation Environmental Personal Social These are internal to a person, such as metabolism, physical condition, sex, reading skills or intelligence. If a person is disabled, is in bad physical condition, or has never learned to cycle, then the bicycle will be of limited help in enabling the function of mobility. These are factors from the society in which one lives, such as public places, social norms, practices that unfairly discriminate, societal hierarchies, or power relations to class, gender, race or caste. These factors emerge from the physical or built environment in which the person lives. Among aspects one’s geographical location are • Climate • Pollution • Proneness to earthquakes • Presence or absence of seas and oceans. Built Environment are • Stability of Buildings • Roads & Bridges • Means of transportation & communication Categories of Conversion Factors It’s the usability of a product to enhance the functioning. For E.g., a bicycle can enhance the mobility of a person to move around. 3 Human Development Initiative Multidimensional Poverty Index Both these models were derived from the Capability Approach. We will be using these models to evaluate the performance of Indian States. How much a bicycle contributes to a person’s mobility depends on that persons: • Physical Condition (Personal Factor) • Whether socially allowed to ride a bicycle (Social) • Availability of decent roads (Environmental)

China. 15% - China reduced their Agriculture labor force. 8%- China increased their Industrial Labor force compared to their 2004 figures. Now compare that with India you will get a shock! US Labor Force and GDP is proportionate. This is the case with every developed countries. Proportionate GDP and Labor Force. China is slowly catching up to that ratio. So, What’s happening with India? 2.1
Services and resulting from 65% of Labor force. 83% of India’s GDP is heavily focused on Services and resulting from 47% of Labor force. 53% of Agricultural Labor Force which accounts for 270 million people is the key for the country. 2.1
Service and Agriculture. 65% of the GDP is produced by Services sector which is only 28% of Labor Force. 17% of the GDP is produced by Agriculture sector which is a whopping 53% of Labor Force. 2.1
65% 28% • To reduce the poverty and improve health we need to transfer atleast 150million from Agriculture (out of 270 million) to Industry / Manufacturing and automate & streamline (the goods transit to market) the agriculture sector. • To do that we need Good Quality Education system, skill development in sync with Industry. • Compare the growth, hardly any growth in Agriculture and checkout the Labor Force in Agriculture. • 53% Agriculture Labor Force is around 270million people. 2.1
of exports and supports about half of the country’s population as its principal source of income. • During 2011-12 there was a record production of food grains at 259.32 million tones. • However, the Kharif production during 2012-13 declined about 5% due to late onset of monsoon and deficient rainfall in several states. • Significant improvement in rainfall during August-September 2012 has somewhat compensated by improving the prospects for Rabi crops. Central Statistics Office (CSO) Ministry of Statistics and Program Implementation India Source: http://mospi.gov.in • China beats us in every category. In Rice and Coarse Grains China and United States is far ahead of us. • The key question is how can we improve the production to 2-3 times of the current output using latest technologies (in house), and move ¾ of the Agriculture labor force into other Industries. • This will give us a huge man power in manufacturing and other Industries. In the previous slide we saw that China reduced their labor force, still they lead in Agriculture production. 2.1
It’s very critical to understand that more than half of the Labor force is dependent on Agriculture and more than 500 million people is dependent on Agriculture. Cost of the Vegetables, Rice, Wheat is going up. However, does that mean Farmers are getting rich? If the cost of iPhone or Samsung Galaxy S4 goes up, Apple and Samsung makes profit. However over here, food prices are climbing and farmers are still in poverty! Why is that? This is where we need to clean up our system. Just because the GDP is going up doesn’t mean that as a nation we are doing great. To understand the problem in depth, we need to understand how the GDP has played in the Urban and Rural population. Lets have look at that in the next few slides – Population (Urban and Rural), GDP, Poverty and Education. 2.1

Don’t you think the growth MUST start from the villages? 2.2
food grain production went up by 4.3 times. GDP went up by a whopping 20 times especially the exponential growth from 1991 onwards. Does this exponential growth in GDP resulted in accumulation of wealth in few areas or benefitted the whole country? 2.2

there will be 6 cities with a population greater than 10 million. • In 2013, 100 large cities produce 41% of the GDP and that involves just 16% of the population. Now if you extrapolate that to 2031 what will be the scenario? 24% of the population will contribute to 65% of GDP? • Now is that really an inclusive growth?

Its interesting to note that Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu were at par with most of the Northern states, while Gujarat is far better than these Southern states in 1980s.

Tamil Nadu did a remarkable job in jumping from 7th rank in 1981 to 3rd in 2001. #1 & #2 Kerala and Punjab maintained their respective 1st and 2nd rank consistently for 2 decades. #6 Gujarat slipped two ranks from 1981. One of the remarkable achievement of Kerala is the symmetric growth of both Urban and Rural areas. While most of the other states development is happening predominantly in the Urban areas. This further increases the disparity between the rural population and the Urban population. In the next section we will focus on National Family Health Survey (Government of India) from 1990 to 2005. In Kerala rural households own private wells, however the census survey doesn’t recognize that for source of safe water. Even today (2013) when people buy land for house, the first priority is if there is water for a well. 4.1

last 40 years compare to 65.41%for Gujarat and 79.49% for Tamil Nadu 88.33% for Kerala One factor which is consistent in these stats is the performance of Tamil Nadu & Kerala over Gujarat, you need to compare this with the heavy investments happened & still happening in Gujarat. What’s happening to those investments? Is it NOT translating into improving the basic necessities for the poor people? 4.3
surrounding this % saying it should be more. That ONLY makes Gujarat’s Growth Model case even worse. 16.63% of people in Gujarat is under poverty resulting in 102.23 lakhs of people. 7.05% of people in Kerala under poverty resulting in 23.95 lakh people. 3 times more poor people in rural area compare to Gujarat’s Urban population.

With the dual objective of educating all and eradicating superstition, the movement proved to be one of the biggest achievements of the state government. • This was one of the main reasons for higher enrolment rates for SC and OBC children in the state. Thus, the real explanation for the better than average health, education, and nutritional status of the populace lies in the social movements and technical interventions initiated by the Government of Tamil Nadu. • The Dravidian movement in the state provided socio-political and cultural space for even the deprived sections, making the process of development more inclusive.

GDPshows good for Maharashtra and Gujarat. Education & Health Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Punjab and surprisingly even the poor North Eastern states also did a better job compared to Gujarat. Even in the post reform period of 21 years Kerala (and other states) went far beyond Gujarat in the following areas • Education, Health care, Living Standards So, What is this Angel like Gujarat model of Economy?

1930s as the third or middle way between the conflicting philosophies of classical liberalism and collectivist central planning. As a policy framework, it’s a major shift from Keynesian welfarism towards a political agenda favoring the relatively unfettered operation of markets. Neoliberalism suggests that governments reduce deficit spending, limit subsidies, reform tax law to broaden the tax base, remove fixed exchange rates, open up markets to trade by limiting protectionism, privatize state-run businesses, allow private property and back deregulation. US, UK, Australia, New Zealand ▪ An Economic philosophy which creates an economic environment in which transactions between private parties are free from government restrictions, tariffs and subsidies with only enough restrictions to protect property rights. ▪ The phrase laissez-faire is French & literally meaning “let (them) do”, but it broadly implies “let it be”. ▪ The doctrine of Laissez-faire became an integral part of 19th century European liberalism. ▪ The most notable critics of Laissez- faire are Adam Smith, John Maynard Keynes (Keynesian Welfarism) Friedrich Hayek. ▪ This led to the depression and to the world wars & gave rise to Keynesian Welfarism. Stagnation of Economy in the 1970s gave rise to Neoliberalism (Regan in US and Thatcher in UK).

enterprises and the accumulation of capital remain the fundamental driving force behind economic activity. Unlike a free-market economy, the government would wield considerable indirect influence over the economy through fiscal and monetary policies designed to counteract economic downturns and capitalism's tendency toward financial crises and unemployment. Government will play a key role in social welfare. Japan Government in which the state plays a key role in the protection and promotion of the economic and social well-being of its citizens. The welfare state is funded through redistributionist taxation and is often referred to as a type of "mixed economy”. Such taxation usually includes a larger income tax for people with higher incomes, called a progressive tax. It is based on the principles of equality of opportunity, equitable distribution of wealth, and public responsibility for those unable to avail themselves of the minimal provisions for a good life. The welfare state involves a transfer of funds from the state, to the services provided (i.e., healthcare, education) as well as directly to individuals ("benefits").

without good Governance and streamlining the regulations. • We need more Ph.D.'s coming out of our Universities. • We can use technology (invented by us) to streamline and solve lot of issues across the country. For that research is the mantra. 1 GOOD GOVERNANCE • Effective delivery system • Transparency and Accountability • Implement Lokpal Bill without pruning it to benefit the ruling class • Implement Decentralization (Panchayat Raj) PROBLEMS • Accountability of the Politicians – there is no link between the votes and services (such as Quality Education, Health Care system, Infrastructure etc.) expected out of the political class. • Majority of the citizens don’t fight for better services. Organizational capabilities of citizens in Kerala is an exemption to this. • The role of the state is blurred in most cases in tune with services rendered and as a service provided. 2 EDUCATION • Affordable Good Quality Primary Education is a fundamental right • Increase Quantity and Quality of the Universities with good focus on research PROBLEMS • Today Primary Schooling (12yrs) is all about Quantity instead of Quality. Conceptual learning is more important and more choice for students to opt for the subjects they like. • Professional colleges are all about Engineering or Medicine and without any research focus. • For students to be interested in research, we need to have more research based study even in Primary Schools (Projects). 5.3

They were not allowed to put gate houses at the entrance to their plots. They were not allowed to have tile roofs on their houses. Neither men nor women were allowed to wear shirts, blouses or a covering cloth above the waist. They were forbidden to come physically within the prescribed distances of higher caste members and could be punished by death for violating this taboo. This “distance pollution” was more developed in Kerala than in any other part of India. They had to use extremely self-debasing forms of speech when talking to members of castes above them. They could not take water from wells belonging to other castes. 6.1 These data on traditional caste behaviors were derived from Fuller 1976, Krishna Iyer 1909, Mathew 1986, Mencher 1980 and Unni 1959.

by Nadar climber women asserting their right to wear upper-body clothes against the caste restrictions sanctioned by the Travancore kingdom, a part of present-day Kerala, India. In Travancore, Cochin and Malabar, no female was allowed to cover their upper part of the body in front of Upper castes of Kerala until the 19th century. Under the support of Ayya Vaikundar, some communities fought for their right to wear upper clothes and the upper class resorted to attacking them in 1818. In 1819, the Rani of Travancore announced that the lower castes including the Nadar climber women have no right to wear upper clothes like lower non-Brahmin castes of Kerala. Violence against Nadar climber women who revolted against this continued and reached its peak in 1858 across the kingdom, notably in southern taluks of Neyyattinkara and Neyyur. On 26 July 1859, under pressure from the Madras Governor, the king of Travancore issued a proclamation announcing the right of Nadar climber women to wear upper clothes but on condition that they should not imitate the style of clothing worn by upper class women.

measuring the economic progress of a country, in the case of state it is known as GSDP – Gross State Domestic Product. However, as per most of the economists GDP doesn’t reflect the well being of the society - Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz clearly articulates this in his articles and speech. GDP is the economic indicator, which measures the country’s total output, which includes everything produced by all the people and all the companies in the country. The components of GDP are Standard formula: GDP = C + I + G + (X-M) 7.4 GDP C + I + G + (X-M) C Personal consumption expenditures I Business Investments G Government Spending NX Net Exports (X-M), X = Exports, M = Imports

common is to adjust for the price differences between countries. For example, China produced $8.25 trillion in goods and services in 2012. The U.S. produced $15.66 trillion. However, you cannot compare the two without taking into account the fact that the cost of living in China is much lower than in the U.S. For example, a McDonald's Big Mac costs $4.37. In China, you can get the same thing for only $2.57. People in China don't need as much income because it costs less to live. That's because China artificially sets the value of its currency to be lower than the U.S. dollar. It intentionally wants its cost of living to be lower, so it can pay its workers less. As a result, its exports cost less, making it more competitive on the global market. Purchasing power parity solves the problem of comparing countries with different standards of living. It recalculates the value of a country's goods and services as if they were being sold at U.S. prices. Under PPP, a Chinese Big Mac costs $4.37, the same as it does in the U.S. As a result, China's GDP is $12.38 trillion, which makes it the world's third largest economy, after the U.S. and the EU. That's why the CIA provides GDP estimates on both an official exchange rate and a purchasing power parity basis. Similar methods are applied to convert India’s GDP Official Exchange Rate of $1.947 Trillion to $4.784 Trillion making India the world’s fourth largest economy after EU, USA and China. Without purchasing power parity, China's GDP per capita would only be $6,297, lower than the standard of living in Ukraine, Algeria or Kosovo. With PPP, each of the 1.3 trillion people will receive (on average) the benefit of $9,100 in economic production. This is better, but still only on the level of Jamaica and worse than Cuba. It's far less than the U.S. GDP per capita of $47,400. That's because the U.S. can divide its GDP among only 330 million people. 7.4
