Why despite high growth, dependence on the agriculture has not declined in any measurable way? Why the country with burgeoning stocks of food- grains, not able to eliminate hunger and reduce malnutrition? Why with all the relevant institutions in place the delivery systems are not able to reach the ‘last man’? Why country’s democratic institutions are faltering?
