Fwd: [Fwd: ISDG Annual Lecture at Press Club, September 1st]
Sir
Institute for Sustainable Development and Governance (ISDG), Trivandrum is organizing its Annual Lecture:
Topic: "How Not To Trivialize the Poverty Debate and Some Reflections on Kerala vs. Gujarat Model"
Date: 1st September, 4pm at Press Club, Trivandrum.
By: Prof. Praveen Jha, Professor of Economics, Centre for Economic Studies and Planning, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi
Chair: John Samuel, President, Institute for Sustainable Development and Governance, Thiruvananthapuram / Global Advisor, Democratic Governance Programme, UNDP.
The issue of conceptualizing poverty and the total number of poor in India has been a hugely contested one almost since Independence, and it has become a lot more controversial in recent years. As is well - known, the gap between the official poverty line and the one based on nutrition norm has tended to widen over the years. Further, in money terms, the former appears to be so incredibly low that not only it gets treated with ridicule in popular discourse but has also become a matter of discomfort, if not embarrassment, for the official establishment. Hence, it is important to go back to the drawing board and ask: how do we engage with our poverty concerns without trivializing it.
Another important issue in this context is that of the causal co-relates of poverty. In the recent months, there has been a revival of the debate between the advocates of the 'free-market paradigm' and those who emphasize the primacy of 'public action'. Gujarat and Kerala are often highlighted as the relevant respective metaphors in this debate. It would seem that there is considerable obfuscation by some (particularly neo-liberal economists) of the relevant arguments and the facts in the ongoing debates, which indeed involve matters of life and death, and it may be worthwhile to put the record straight.
~ Prof Praveen Jha
