चीनी की मिठास में कड़वाहट रोकने की कोशिश

महंगाई को काबू में रखने के लिए सरकार के विभिन्न विभागों की सहभागिता होती है। कीमतों को नियंत्रित करना उतना आसान नहीं होता, लेकिन सरकार यदि नीतिगत निर्णय सही तरीके से ले तो बाजार में कीमतों पर उसका असर अवश्य दिखता है। चीनी के मामले में लगभग यही हुई है। सहकारी आंदोलन को पुनर्जीवित और सुदृढ़ कर सरकार ने देश में चीनी को कड़वा होने से बचा लिया है।

We are trying to create a platform where our readers will find a place to have their say on the subjects ranging from socio-political to culture and society.

We hope that this platform will continue to evolve and will help us understand the challenges of our fast changing times better and our role in these times.
