RBI holds key rates

RBI holds key rates, cuts growth forecast


The Reserve Bank of India left its short-term rates and banks' cash reserve requirements unchanged on 27th Jan. 2009 as it waited to gauge the impact of its aggressive easing since mid-October to stem a sharp economic downturn.
Fiscal measures to shore up the economy against the global downturn would sharply widen the federal government's fiscal deficit, the Reserve Bank of India said in its quarterly policy review.
It also cut its forecast for economic growth in the current fiscal year to 7.0 percent "with a downward bias" from an estimate of 7.5-8.0 percent in October, bringing it broadly in line with recent government and market predictions.
Wholesale price inflation was projected to fall below 3 percent in annual terms by the end of the fiscal year in March.
The central bank left its lending rate steady at 5.5 percent and its reverse repo rate , at which it absorbs surplus cash from the banking system, unchanged at 4.0 percent.
It has also kept the cash reserve ratio, the amount of funds banks have to keep on deposit with it, unchanged at 5.00 percent.

NCERT text books

12 states to adopt NCERT text books


Students in a dozen states would read NCERT books in government-run schools from the coming academic session in place of state text books.
Coming a step closer to bring uniformity in curriculum across the country, students in a dozen states would read NCERT books in government-run schools from the coming academic session in place of state text books.
With this, 31.3 per cent of the senior secondary level students across India will study books prepared by NCERT.
This became possible after the National Council for Education Research and Training (NCERT) granted the copyright to 12 states to use its text books in their respective state board schools.
The states are Andhra Pradesh, Sikkim, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Delhi, Jharkhand, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Haryana, Kerala, Punjab and Goa.
The framework has been ratified by almost all the states.
The move would also do away with any disparities among the state boards and give students enough confidence to compete at the national level with ease, said an NCERT official.
For the record, several state boards have carried out a series of changes in their course curricula in line with the present mandate. The changes include bifurcating the course curriculum at the plus-two level and updating syllabus on a par with CBSE schools.
