The problem with India is overpopulation, corruption and inertia. In a way all three problems are linked. But most importantly, the three issues are not because of the government. Rather Government is a reflection of the three issues and the Indian psyche.
Corruption in US exists mostly in millions of dollars. People can go about day to day without having to worry about corruption to the most extent. In India, corruption exists at the core level-- whether it is the chalta hai attitude ( accepting things as they are) or the Jugaad attitude ( getting to the end result being more important than the process)-- each human beings selfishness happens with no thought of cost to others. Whether it is asking for dowries, preferring male children, paying donations to get children into schools and colleges, having weight scams at shops, impurities in all kinds of things ( food, cement)-- Indians have done it with no eye on how it impacts others. They just try to fight for the same resources ( cake) instead of growing the cake as millennia of inertia prevents most of them from looking out of the box and throwing out prejudices and corruption from there daily lives.
Well, when everyone, as an individual, doesn't care about other individuals, then you deserve and get governments and policies who behave the same.
I also believe that one reason Indians do the above is that there are fewer natural resources and the population just keeps growing. China's corrupt too. However they reduced a lot of infighting and refocused private enterprise to making money by there one child policy. If China had 2 billion people now instead of stabilizing at 1.4, it would probably have been much poorer.
Manufacturing sector needs revival. Engineers are not doing engineering. And for manufacturing plenty of reforms are needed. Including improvement in education quality. Social security is required by everyone, it's absence causes financial insecurity, thus tendency to make quick/ dirty money. Poor healthcare delivery system eats into meager earnings of common man. A strong political will is the need of the hour. As is often said, Indians succeed but sadly, India is faltering.
The greatest challenge to India's future is not dwindling natural resources, or corruption, or divisively fractured political establishment, but deeply pervasive abject indifference of a wide swath of masses.
Those at one end of pole with capacity and resources to make a change continue to maroon the trust and fabric of nation for their own unashamed lustful greed, scheming with corrupt bureaucratic setup for means unto themselves with abject disregard for morality, ethics and making of a capable nation.
At the other end of the same pole daily struggle to cope with hyper inflation can barely make them ponder about the road ahead.
And, the growing glorified middle remains gruesomely detached from inner circles of power, almost scared to pit their head in the smoldering pit of ever growing underground economy with well entrenched politico-goons connections running rampant at local government establishments.
In India, like any developing/developed places, intellect has mostly gone awry to service fear or greed, or has succumbed to avarice. Culture of sympathy, tolerance, forgiveness and notion of for-the-greater-good need be taught, learned and practiced afresh. There is no other alternative.
Can we... all who care to see our nation free from corruption... resolve to not pay up into the demands of a bribe, and… resolve not to make way for our gain by aiding or abetting any corrupt practices, and… resolve not to engage in any transactions that cause or involve black money, or that are helped by seeking or giving undue underhand favors?
Can we... all who care to see our nation respect women... resolve to not pay up into the demands of a dowry, and… resolve not to engage in barter of dowry, which remains a root cause for female foeticide and female infanticide, and… resolve not to be entertained by sounds and images stocking carnal thoughts and insidious behavior?
Can we… all who care to see our nation clean and green… resolve to start with clean up of our own building, street, and neighborhood, and… resolve to grow and save vegetation in our sphere of influence?
Can we... all who care to see our nation lead into better governance… resolve to be more involved in public policy making institutions, processes and be willing to cross to the other side to face the music?
Can we... all who care to see our nation succeed... resolve not to disparage it and be part of the solution, and… resolve to pitch in with volunteering hours and any resources that we can spare... to work on common good?
Unless, we are honest with ourselves and care to start with self... we would have failed all of those that have sacrificed their lives to make this nation, and more regretfully, failed our children to leave behind a legacy to call their place a home… no matter where we live.
Extortion or any corrupt practices are a chase of those that feed on their greed and our fear. We cannot curb their greed… but can work on our fear.
What we can certainly not do is to stoke those tendencies by essentially practicing in the same circle, for our own benefit... for instance:
1. Corrupt practices are rife not only in public sector, but widely prevalent today in private sector. Each and every honest businessperson in our nation will recount the magnitude and stifling hold of common place norms of deceit, vogue of black money and deeply ingrained culture of favoritism.
2. Large majority of transactions from real estate to purchase of goods & services are facilitated by, or engender, unaccounted or black money.
3. Very few make deliberate and conscious efforts to distance themselves from corrupt practices. In effect, make hay of them for own benefit, or surrendering their plight without honest efforts to resist.
Diminutive forces drowning our nation will become fearful once challenge to them becomes strong. Start inadvertently needs to be from somewhere where we are most uncomfortable with... our self. Only then will foundation of our challenge be strong enough to sustain long drawn on struggle... for real independence.
We Indians love to reap fortunes off misery and poverty of others. Extremely selfish race of people, with no backbone, gifted with a flawed sense of judgement and pride. A semi - fuedal mindset exists and reflects itself time and again in the form of violence and oppression against the weak and helpless.
Just to clarify - By a 'selfish race of people' i meant average/majority of Indians. Apologies
Only corruption has eaten all the growth story of India. Most of people in India working hard for the development, While Indian politicians are eating hard earned money in corruption. Sad moment. Let's do something on the upcoming Teacher's Day 2013 in India. Sonali Patel http://teachers-day-2013.blogspot.com/2013/08/teachers-day-2013-sms-mess...
In India, the government is just too big...no mention about the rampant corruption in this article. I dare The Economist to have an exclusive 10 pg article on corruption in India for the world to take notice of the politicians, and their looting of public money. There was also a list provided by wiki containing politicians who stashed away hoards of cash in foreign accounts. You need to remind the world and the people of India about this. The supreme court of India has failed to enforce a ruling and follow up on it. What is the point blaming infrastructure, production, poor policies when you have thugs ruling the country? This should be recognized as an International crime not a local issue alone.
It is wrong to suggest that failure to implement GST is drowning India's finances . Basically a Service Tax(ST) is morally wrong in a country of poor . Some services , like telephone and cable TV are as essential today as health and education . It is , in my opinion , criminal to tax essential services .
The real reason behind India's problems is the widening gulf of inequality which ,in turn , is a consequence of corrupt governance .
Another reason for CAD is the hoarding of gold by the well to do . Indians trust gold as a hedge against inflation which , according to your report is 10 percent whereas interest on long term bank deposit is around 9 percent . To prevent hoarding of gold by the HNIs , the Finance Minister must impose an "Idle Wealth Tax". Post taxed income above US $ 200,000 of all Indians must be properly accounted for over a period of time , say 7 years . If a tax payer fails to account for it , he must be slapped with tax. The term "properly accounted for" includes all investments in property , business , gold and also big ticket expenditures in celebrations etc . This one measure alone can prevent generation and circulation of Black Money in the Indian Economy to a great extent .
"the Finance Minister must impose an "Idle Wealth Tax". Post taxed income above US $ 200,000 of all Indians must be properly accounted for over a period of time , say 7 years . If a tax payer fails to account for it , he must be slapped with tax" - your comment.
That does make sense - in theory. However, if the income itself is "undeclared" (i.e., black money), how will the tax be calculated? I live in Singapore, where everybody pays tax. Recently I attended a very extravagant wedding in Mumbai. The host (i.e., father of the bride) told me that the whole wedding (including the dowry, gifts, etc.) have cost him 5 crores of rupees. Surely that cannot be "white money"???
You are right . My suggestion will only prevent "White Money" from going Black . The undeclared income of corrupt politicians will remain "Black" and untaxed .
Yet , the suggestion has practical value . Under "Idle Wealth Tax" regime , "White Money" going Black will fetch some revenue to the government.
Moreover , in a mixed (or parallel) economy , Money keeps changing colour . "Black Money" in one hand becomes "White" in another's . So , imposition of an "Idle Wealth Tax" will close the conduit of "White Money" going "Black" while some "Black Money" continues to turn "White" which will remain "White" there after .
Go elephant, go!!
Simply said it is the politics in the economy that is at the root of the fall. Profligacy with loans, subsidies, doles and every other synonym in the name of the AAM AADMI is the cause. Take for example the Food Security Bill. When the Government statistician, after a late night at the best bars announces that poverty levels have come down in last 10 years, to 18% of the population, the government introduces the Food Security bill to cover 80 % of India's population. And poverty level is something like a spending power of $ 0.60 per person per day. Such an incongruous definition of poverty can also lead to wrong initiatives.Either stop gathering statistics or the irrational decisions that follow the statistics gathering.
The storm is just gathering and there is more in the offing ....the government is clueless. It is sad that the world credited the turnaround of India in 1991 to the wrong person. It should have been the then PM of India , Narasimha Rao and not the then FM, Manmohan Singh.
In one of the Television discussions one of the commentators mentioned Palaniappan Chidambaram as the biggest spin doctors. It is true that it was done on a different context. I have a feeling that he is truly trying to spin doctoring Indian Economy with an eye on the election. I would like to add that the International conditions have added up to the problems. Let people in India not forget that instead of taking the economy forward the present government applied brakes
Where did the author get his number of 10% for bad loans?
The overall gross NPA (Non Performing Assets) for state owned banks is less than 5%. As per The Economic Times,
"The gross NPAs of the public sector banks (PSBs) were the highest and stood at 3.8 per cent of the system at the end of the March quarter, followed by foreign lenders."
You need to add restructured assets also , which are 6% of loans.
people should NOT treat goi, parliament, congress etc. as the dumping ground of all the blames.
corruption is bad, but indian corruption et al is not the biggest problem either. rather, the caste repression degenerated situations and social apathy are.
economically, india is a nation of several nations:
-- the 'nation' of super and filthy rich (the real 'untouchables', so to speak)
-- the 'nation' of upper middle class (the elites, and those who comments at TE etc.),
-- the nation' of middle income class (the run of the mill who actually run the daily grinds of things),
-- the 'nation' of the poor (who tills and vote), and
-- the 'nation' of the down and trodden and out (who are the 'who?' ).
many economies can be classed this way, the problem unique here is that they don't talk to each other, they don't care about each other and some don't even exist for the other.
still, india is blessed with so many talented and brilliant minds, not to mention those of nri. once have overcome their fear of admitting caste related problems and do something about it (apart from the government that has already done some, albeit sans the broad based support of the elites), india's future is indeed great (not just long term, but near term also), don't let nobody tells you otherwise.
India's didn't build their infrastructure during the good time and the situation won't improve in coming years or even decades. If you've been to India and China, you can tell the infrastructure in India is way behind China. This is one of the main factor stopping foreign investments in India.
If you have been to China (well you are from China) you can tell, Chinese can be uprooted from their lands and their properties confiscated in a few Planck time by the State.
You over-simplify the problem.What you say can be applied for almost all the countries in the world.Almost all the countries want to build more and better infrastructure in any time including India.But many countries including India,U.S. cann't or won't or needn't do those for various reasons.If India wants to do something in China's way,India will become the second USSR,not another China.China's experiences are infeasible completely for India.India is colser to the Commonwealth of Independent States than most countries including Brazil and U.S. which are also multiracial and multicultural countries.
probably,those starving India people prefer to live in USSR than in today's India
In india, politicians & their cronies / thugs, can coax / intimidate land owners and relive them of their lands.
My family have been "uprooted", they were notified 1 year ahead of time and received multiple million RMB per person in compensation.
Maybe India would function better if people stop living in denial and return to the real world.
Since its very inception, Indian Governance has relied on vote-fodder kept in illiterate, starving, defecating-in-the-open incompetence to garner and hold power in order to apply the resources of the State to the personal pomp, pelf and pleasure of the ruling elites. In such a situation, integrity and competence become irrelevant and it is propaganda that takes priority. Nehru set the example that all of India's rulers have followed since which is to take credit for any success or anything of value, including infrastructure created by the former colonial masters while blaming all disasters on somebody conveniently to hand if not the former colonial masters.This has created a pervasive struthonian principle as the primary pillar of governance. An ethos where any truth or proper analysis is considered disloyal or even unpatriotic and sycophancy and corruption alone are welcome and pampered with disproportionate success. This can often be mistaken for complacence. Particularly as India's Ruling Elites are personally immune to the consequences of national insecurity, crime, economic mismanagement or inflation. The funds that the US Fed pumped into the market found its way to the emerging markets. India got a fair share as it seemed a potential winner to investors with its inherited British facade mistaken for "rule-of-law" and a huge impoverished population camouflaged under a visible "middle class". As the facade and the camouflage were stripped away notably with such critical events as the middle class protest against corruption, the retrospective taxation law and various totalitarian measures counter to professed "liberalization" and consistent with India's "Animal Farm" Constitution and laws, the money began to flow away from India.When the Fed began to reel in the Dollars that it had cast upon the waters, India became a prime target and the receding tide exposes the multitude of sins, such as profligacy, corruption, and insouciance, that were practiced by "Governance" (or, rather, the lack of it) during India's brief and accidental season in the Sun.
India's underlyign problem is unproductive assets such as Government offices, institutions,"elected" persona and facilities such as Parliament, The President's and Governors' estates, Lutyen's Delhi as also the unproductive expenditure on a huge and lavishly maintained and rewarded unproductive, extortionate and unaccountable bureaucratic apparatus and an ornamental military force as also obsolete weaponry for them; not to mention an enormous unfit-for-purpose paramilitary employed to put down the unrest brought on by ugly social and capital engineering laws and the ruthless exploitation of the very large numbers marginalized by a State devoted to applying its resources to the personal pomp, pleasure and pelf of the ruling elites. Cut this by 60%, eradicate corruption, and resources including human resources will become available for production, including export.
How about the hoarding of another unproductive asset _ gold _ ? Is it a problem or an asset . Perhaps , no other country in the world has such a huge private or public ownership of gold .
In a nation governed like India where inflation is a constant auxiliary tax and Govt is the first amongst criminals albeit immune from law and compulsions of propriety, for those trapped and crushed under the enormous weight of State exploitation, Gold is the only reliable currency and a more liquid store of value than real estate.
Well , the Shylock of India doesn't seem to agree with you .
Its very sad to note the downward spiral financially of over a billion people bought on by sheer sloth, inefficiency and corruption engendered by a legacy of colonial and caste repression and apathy towards each other.
I guess people are worried too much here, nothing is really going to happen that bad. The moment Reserve Bank reduces the interest rates, things will get normal. Those bunch are really very conservative group. Inflation, ah, it is a supply side problem - hope that (...) Agricultural minister reads this message.
In Indian media, there is no talk of labour reforms - merely mentioning it elicits howls of protest, even though it is very critical for generating good jobs. You should also blame the reckless populism of the Indian political class - it is not just the current government - for example the leader of the principle Opposition Party wrote to the government saying he doesn't support the current version of the food security bill because it doesn't have enough subsidies, he wants even more! India's left wing commentariat eggs the politicians on - with clamour for more and more "anti-poverty" measures. The levels of economic literacy are appalling in India - this is something you must consider. Apart from a few specialist publications, there is no understanding of what brought the Indian economy to this point. Consider the latest debate on poverty. Recently released figures show that India reduced poverty at a very impressive pace over the last ten years, almost comparable to China. Not surprising, since the growth rates were also roughly comparable to China. However the Indian media wasn't prepared to accept this and they kicked up a huge debate and trashed the figures - the debate was marked by a great deal of ignorance and populist posturing. (they apparently believe that if you change the poverty line, then the results would change, which is not the case). As long as educated Indians have a very low level of economic literacy, the public debate on economic issues will be very poor in India, and it is more likely than not to result in poor policies. The next government will try to outdo the present government in terms of populism and fiscal recklessness egged on by a left wing commentariat demanding "welfare measures" and very soon people will forget that there used to be a time when the Indian economy was compared to China. When the next set of poverty numbers are released by the National Sample Survey Organization in 2016, Indians will be happy because it will show very limited reduction in poverty from the levels of 2011-12 and they will conclude this time the government hasn't fudged figures. I was lucky to get out of India when I was still young.
..BARKING UP the wrong tree
Since 1989 -- Gordon Chang had been predicting the "Coming Collapse of China
At this moment --- Seems like India is having more chances of ever collapsing than China
SO --- If Gordon Chang had forecasted the coming collapse of India -- he would have been more accurate
As the English idiom would say --- he had been "barking up the wrong tree all these wasted years "
Another English idiom --- "Every dog has its day" Even mongrel ones
LOL Hahahahahaha
..BARKING UP the wrong tree
Since 1989 -- Gordon Chang had been predicting the "Coming Collapse of China

A lot of people are pessimists , and sometimes they are right and sometimes they are wrong.
You being a pessimist about India's economy woulds have to reconcile with the facts - that if you are right the people who really suffer are the poor people.
secondly China is now incomparable to India - China left us behind a long time ago.
but for the sake of the poor, we need to have this economy going.
Hopefully, and if you are right , and India's economy slows down , we will not have too many people starving.
So please get over your dislike for India, and give us some good ideas.
You have a choice - a negative mind or a positive mind
To my surprised,you really read all which wudang wushtu wrote.I also don't know what he wants to say:Gordon Chang has not the right to been predicting the "Coming Collapse of China"? Why some Chinese,not many,are so sensltive about"Coming Collapse of China"? which is only a book and very intresting for many foreign readers.on the contrary,many books and writers extol China with ecstatic enthusiasm.In my view,Thanks to Gordon Chang,he always give a warn to China from another perspetive although not all become ture.Gordon Chang loves China which I can feel from his books and articles.
But all in all,if you want to sale more your books and earn more,give some sensational titles such that "UFO bombes China" will be a good idea.
Keep trolling.
You sound different than most Indians.Most Indians including their journalists are very haughty.They think having a billion plus population they are automatically a world power.Its needs a lot of planning,hard-work and humility.With humble people like you,India could decisively deal with these temporary problems and continue on their growth path.
This is an important point. Of all the things the government needs to focus on especially during this crisis, the most important is to help the poor cope with it and indeed come out of it much better off. Rather than concentrating on the "rich" end as the West has done, giving support to the poor especially in the Indian context is not a policy choice, it is urgent for India's future.
In twenty years' time, India's current poor could make a difference between being a new source of economic vitality and tax revenues or it could be seen as a chronic source of drag. It matters now what the government (and the people, since in India's democracy, the people are, at least nominally, the boss) does.
I know that great strides have been made to alleviate poverty in India. But the fear is that they will fall behind again, as the poor has always been treated in any downturn. The problem is that I believe such support can only come from the government. The private sector is not going to be very helpful. Think about it, for a private business or company where is the (short term) return on helping the poor beyond a little propaganda, I mean PR value? The follow-on problem is if the government is beholden to big businesses it will be pushed to focus more on the (big) business end of the economy. That's not necessarily a bad thing but if it makes the government ignore the poor, ordinary Indians need to remember to speak up.
Indians are smart, peace loving, long suffering. They deserve better. Arguably, Indian policies suffered from a mismatch of its investments relative to its infrastructure. Interestingly, Lin YiFu, who is now back at Beijing University, has made his academic interest the study of this phenomenon. The idea is that you should own the low end and then move up the food chain. India, however, despite its cheap and willing labor, is not the shoe, clothing, bicycle, motorcycle, refrigerator, dishwasher, tire, plumbing, furniture, or any other lower-end manufacturer of the world. India makes these goods but Indians are not competitive world-wide with these goods. Ultimately, that's the answer needed to improve India. Peace and prosperity to India.
Indians are finally waking up. A leader in TE appears in the Economist at 1700 GMT and in less than 7 hours when India normally sleeps we have 42 comments and many with analysis and insights better than the article. This is a refreshing change that Indians are heeding to the wake up call and hopefully this is the beginning of revival.
India is the begining of new domino that will include Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia, Brazil, Turkey, South Korea.
Bernanke will trigger the domino. Tighten your belt and be prepared!
And the mighty China will be spared.... Right !!
Right!!! China has $3.55 trillion Reserve.It has enough 'bullet' to be the last man standing even if US falls.
'Keep trolling.'

If you guys want to blather on at me about your troubles in the hopes that I will deign to answer you in some sort of condescending fashion, please do not hesitate to send email to [email protected] and I'll see what I can do. In the mean time, as always, all of these letters were sent to me by actual people with actual dumb problems, so don't you dare say otherwise or I'll have to do something slightly less than favorable to you and yours.
I shall now get to the letter part!
M. Harker, m'dear,It should be obvious to you at this time in your life that there are many enigmas of which humankind has little understanding. These mysteries cover a broad spectrum of fantastical and usually complex ideas, such as the existence of retirement homes in an age where the elderly should be forced to work in slave-labor camps in exchange for being allowed to remain alive. One such mystery is that of the bear driving the car in that one episode of the "Clerks" cartoon in which the cartoon is finished in anime-style by the Koreans or some other group of people who are different from me in some obvious physical way. The thing about this that you need to understand here, buddy, is that there is a lot of dispute as to the actual quote concerning said bear. One example is, "Who is driving? Bear is driving! How can that be?" Yet another reads, "Who drive car? Oh no, bear drive car! How can that be?" This is truly hard to understand, because in our experience, bears don't usually even drive cars, however, it is clearly obvious that a bear is behind the wheel in this scene: Another problem concerning the bear enigma is that there might be multiple bears driving various cars that we need to be aware of in order to properly examine the bear-driver situation: These multiple bears driving different cars may account for the varying interpretations of the bear-quote from the "Clerk's" episode. The actuality of a bear driving a car is something we don't really need to deal with on a day to day basis, so if I were you I wouldn't spend a lot of time worrying about the logistics of an ursine creature behind the wheel. You sounded pretty upset in your letter, so I'll just take this time to say that it is highly unlikely that your life will suddenly turn into a horrible anime parody where you find yourself being ferried around in a car with a bear at the helm. As we move into the 21st century, however, magnificent advances in genetic engineering have been made such that it is entirely possible (as far as I can tell) that a race of super-bears might arise and that, in time, they may evolve to the extent that they are fully capable of driving cars. Obviously I am no expert in the field of bear-metamorphosis, but I hope that such a day arrives sooner rather than later so that I can write my Ph.D. dissertation on the fact that Kevin Smith is a visionary with telepathic powers and who has predicted a glorious future for all of mankind.
The part of that cartoon where the Transformer turned from the vehicle into the robot with the people still inside was the best.
One roommate's art-fueled movement goes terribly wrong.
Emma Stone was the most paranoid person I had ever met. In private she wore a full suit of medieval armor at all times, visor down.
Reading is good, in general, but sometimes it's just another way to put insane porn into your body.

Iran vows "crushing response" to Israeli attacks
More >
Create alert for TehranTehran
, Create alert for Iranian Foreign MinistryIranian Foreign Ministry
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Hassan Qashqavi said on Monday that the Tehran will give the most crushing response to the minimum threats by Israel. Talking to reporters during his weekly press briefing, he said, according to IRNA, that identity of the Zionist regime is based on threatening other countries.
Israeli regime is well aware of Iran's power, so its anti-Iran moves are only a media maneuver that is not worth taking stand by the Islamic Republic, he added. According to him, the Islamic Republic of Iran is fully ready for any possible action in any condition. "The minimum threat by any country would face the most decisive response by Iran," Qashqavi added.

Featured review from klindsy
view more less of this reviewI have always heard of the Blind Boys from Alabama, and have enjoyed their music over the years, but this was an awesome experience! Their voices were sharp and their new upbeat tempos and music had everyone on their feet. This is an experience and memory that I wil never forget. I was not as familiar with Bettye LaVette and her music was good but the night belonged to the Blind Boys of Alabama. I hope I will have the honor of seeing them again in the near future. The only downside of the evening was the food. This is my 2nd time attending The Howard Theatre since they reopened and the food is horrible. I had grilled chicken and I couldn't even cut it with a knife. My friends had the crabcakes (which was too spicy) and my other friend had the crab artichoke dip (which was very salty). we tried to get the attention of our waiter but that was a hard task as he was moving so fast we couldn't catch him and when we did, he could barely hear what we were saying. So in the future when attending a show we will just order drinks. Oh, the water was good...

Wheel diameter for casters is a vertical measurement taken from the top of the tread, rather than the plate or axel, to the bottom where it meets a floor surface. It is expressed in inches. Generally, a larger diameter wheel offers stronger support. However, consideration must be given to floor surface, stress, impact, environment, and working conditions.

Siruvani Reservoir receives 47 mm of rainfall
For the second day on Thursday, the city and its outskirts received heavy rain forcing people to remain indoors.
The overnight incessant rains had inundated a few areas but officials said that there were no reports of flooding.
The Corporation officials kept a watch over the subways to pump out water to clear the passages for traffic.
Heavy rain was also reported in Siruvani and its foothills.
According to sources, the Siruvani Reservoir received 47 mm and foothills 42 mm. On Wednesday, there was good rain in the Reservoir and the water level had not come down.
On an average, the level comes down from eight to 10 cm as the Tamil Nadu Water Supply and Drainage Board draws 65 million litres a day. The rains had increased the water storage by 10 cm and that has off set the drop in level due to withdrawal.
The sources also said that the rains had eased the pressure on supply of water through bore wells due to decrease in demand for water for non-drinking purposes . The Corporation did not have to operate the bore wells for long hours.
On Thursday, Pollachi received the maximum rainfall (40 mm) in the 24 hours that ended 8 a.m. Thursday. The Tamil Nadu Agriculture University received 25 mm. Valparai PAP received 30 mm rainfall and the Valparai Taluk office-20.50 mm. The average rainfall was 19.98 mm.
