Gujarat Polls: PM Modi to visit Somnath temple today

Somnath temple

Ahemdabad: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit the Somnath temple today. Prime Minister Narendra Modi who is in poll-bound Gujarat this weekend is expected to participate in at least eight programmes crisscrossing the state from Saurashtra to Surat.
Prime Minister is also the Chairman of the Somnath trust. After visiting the Somnath Temple, PM is scheduled to address four rallies in the Saurashtra region. Venues have been finalised at Veraval, Dhorarji, Amreli and Botad.
Incidentally, in the last assembly elections, the BJP could not win a single seat in Saurashtraโ€™s constituencies. The BJP won the state polls but couldnโ€™t breach this bastion that has traditionally voted for Congress.

Meanwhile, on November 21, PM Modi will hold three rallies in Surendranagar, Bharuch and Navsari.
While Bharuch was the constituency of the former Congress tall man Ahmed Patel in the past, the BJP state president CR Patil who hails from Navsari has been winning this Lok Sabha seat with huge margins.
Incidentally, Congress Lok Sabha MP Rahul Gandhi is also expected to visit Navsari on November 21, the same day that PM Modi is expected to be in Navsari.
PM Modi, who hails from Gujarat, is also expected to have a closed-door meeting with the state leaders during his stay here to further boost the party in the western state.

Research Dept role is to quickly process an avalanche of data: RBI Guv

ANI

Hyderabad: Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Shaktikanta Das said rapid advancement in technology has brought with it an avalanche of data, adding further that, the research departmentโ€™s role is to quickly process these data and derive meaningful inferences of relevance to policymaking.
During his inaugural address at the annual research conference of the Department of Economic and Policy Research of RBI on Saturday, he said central banks, given their mandate on preserving macro stability, and the responsibility to be at the forefront of managing an economic crisis, have a culture of diligently building synergies between research and policymaking. The conference was held after a gap of three years.
Stressing the importance of R-D, he said research departments are thus empowered to work as the workhorse and as the think tank for ensuring a continuous supply of reliable processed information, analytical research and new ideas. โ€œSuch ideas help in designing time and state relevant policies,โ€ he said.
Rapid advancement in technology has brought with it an avalanche of data, the Governor said, adding that the research departmentโ€™s role is to quickly process these data and derive meaningful inferences of relevance to policymaking.

In his remarks, he covered three important areas, he touched upon the vital role of the research department in a central bank. First, he talked about the challenges to RBIโ€™s policymaking in the context of the developments in recent years, both global and domestic, that warranted robust data and research support.
Second, he highlighted some of the important contributions of the research department in these turbulent times. Third, he mentioned several challenges ahead that one could anticipate, requiring reimagination and rebalancing of the research function within the Reserve Bank.
The Governor said the economics profession today faces one of its toughest times as the global economy has been hit by multiple shocks one after the other. He said these shocks led to, first, the globalisation of inflation, with advanced economies facing multi-decadal high inflation.
Second, he said these shocks have led to a sustained slowdown in economic growth and trade, together with rising concerns about a possible global recession. Third, he mentioned the deteriorating global food and energy security situation and fourth, these shocks led to a realignment of global supply chains and policy-induced deglobalisation.
The weakening influence of multinational institutions in providing coordinated solutions to address global problems is also one of the impacts, the RBI governor mentioned.
He also said emerging market economies face an additional challenge from threats to their external sector stability.
