NEW DELHI, February 8 – DECCAN HERALD – It is a festival of colours and craft at the 26th Surajkund Crafts Mela where local and international artists have displayed their exquisite range. Thailand’s participation as the partner nation has added to the international flavour, while offering a rich fusion of Indian and Thai heritage. Other countries like Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Maldives, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan have also participated in this 15-day long carnival. The fair that will conclude on February 14 also facilitates the ‘Annual Exporters & Buyers Meet’ where artisans come face to face with exporters without any middlemen. It has been done with an aim to give the craftsmen a direct opportunity to improve and expand their artistic horizon. – BUSINESS STANDARD – At the time of preparing the Budget estimates, the government had said it wanted to take the economy back to the nine per cent growth level seen before the 2008-09 economic crises. But, the advance estimates released on Tuesday show crucial sectors such as manufacturing, mining, construction and a section of services growing even less than during the crisis period. The advance estimates, to be used for Budget computations, peg economic growth at a three-year low of 6.9 per cent this financial year. In 2008-09, the growth was a bit lower, at 6.7 per cent. – FINANCIAL EXPRESS – The government has decided to start afresh the process of consultation with states to build a consensus on allowing foreign direct investment (FDI) in multi-brand retail after it was forced to roll back a Cabinet decision by its own ally, the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress, in December 2011. Towards this end, Commerce and Industry Minister Anand Sharma, who had piloted the Cabinet proposal, will meet industry ministers of the southern states in Kerala by February-end. According to feedback collected by the department of consumer affairs, eight states ruled by Congress and its allies — West Bengal, Kerala, Delhi, Assam, Goa and the smaller north-eastern states of Meghalaya, Mizoram, Manipur — had agreed to a complete ban on organised retail trade in fruits, vegetables and grocery. Of the total 22 states that had sent their feedback, 14 states supported the committee’s recommendations. Rajasthan was the only Congress-ruled state that advised against a complete ban. Three NDA-ruled states Himachal Pradesh, Gujarat and Punjab said organised retail was important for growth development. – FINANCIAL EXPRESS – The bilateral goods and services trade between India and the US is expected to cross a record USD 100 billion this year, the US Ambassador-designate to India Nancy Powell has said. Testifying before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee yesterday, Powell, who will be the first woman US ambassador to India, said that the export to India is well on its mark to achieve the goal of the US President Barack Obama to double in five years. She said that bolstering trade and investment would be one of her top priorities while she is in New Delhi as the top American diplomat.
