CAG Estimates 33,169 Million Tones Coal Blocks = $5Trillion Loot

When more than 80% of Indians are extremely poor not even spending Rs.600 to Rs.1000 per capita per month – this is average figures. Since 1999 India has allowed over $50 Trillion worth of our Natural Resources – Oil & Gas, Coal, Mines and Minerals, Prime Land for Industrial and forestry etc free of cost.
The money that could have been invested in serving Poor, Farmers, Students, SMEs, Workers is Enriching few Corporate Families and filling Foreign Bank Vaults.

Since average price of Coal in international market is $150 per tone likely go up many fold the Corporate Loot far exceed $5Trillion.

CAG has grossly under estimated loss to public at just $200b.

CAG also grossly under estimated loss in case Oil & Gas blocks also in case of Reliance.

Minimum loss due to Oil & Gas, Coal and mines and minerals could be $25 Trillion.

As per Supreme Court order – GOI is custodian of our natural resources.

It gross mischief of JINDAL to suggest few Corporates generates all the wealth and 1210m people in India do nothing.

GOI is empowered by the Supreme Court judgment to AUCTION all our Natural resources.

Govt plans to implement Food Security Bill by year-end:

Government on Wednesday said it plans to implement the National Food Security Bill by the end of this year.
“We intend to implement the Food Security Bill by end of December, 2012,” Food Minister K V Thomas told reporters on sidelines of an event organised by YES Bank and The Hindu Business Line.
He said as per the projections of the Agriculture Ministry, the government has enough foodgrains to meet the requirements of Food Bill as well as exports till 2014.
The National Food Security Bill was introduced in the Lok Sabha in December, and it is being vetted by the Parliamentary Standing Committee.
The ambitious food security programme of the UPA government aims to provide legal entitlement over subsidised foodgrains to 63.5 per cent of the country’s population.
Once the new food laws are implemented, Thomas said, “The subsidy bill will go up to Rs 1.12 lakh crore. The government has capacity to absorb additional subsidy of Rs 3,000-4,000 crore”.
For the current fiscal, the food subsidy is estimated to be around Rs 88,000 crore, which will go up to Rs 1.09 lakh crore with revision in 2000 census and 1993-94 poverty line estimates, he said.
Foodgrain requirement under the Food Security Bill is estimated at 63 million tonne
