Disappointed with Agriculture and Food Management Chapter in #EconomicSurvey Vol II. Reports only those datasets, years, schemes that suit the govt. Reads more like Agri Min Annual Report. Little analysis, reporting of challenges, reflection on failures or strategic thinking
MSP: no data on how many farmers received it
PMFBY: no data on declining coverage or participation of private insurers
PM Kisan: no info on how many farmers received beyond first instalment
Agri exports: no data for boom years pre 2015-16
How I miss @arvindsubraman ” thus he Tweeted
