CHAOS IN-DEFINITION

The Aravallis are perhaps India's most litigated hill range. More than 4,000 court cases have failed to arrest their destruction. The latest dispute concerns a narrow legal definition of this geological antiquity, much of which has been obliterated by mining and urban sprawl. While the Supreme Court has stayed its own judgement accepting that definition, it must see the underlying reality and help reconcile development and national security with conservation.

India's poverty count

OME FEBRUARY, India will roll out its first National Household Income Sample Survey. The exercise will measure household incomes and, in doing so, estimate levels of poverty, or prosperity, across the country. In effect, the survey will prepare a balance sheet for Indian households. It will seek extensive information on incomes and expenditures of a household—from input and output costs of a farmer to a taxpayer’s payout-to-loan burdens, an informal worker’s days of work and income, and a hotel employee's earnings from tips. Spanning community groups, the survey will calculate household “profits” and assess the value of assets like land and farms. It will also assign monetary value to welfare benefits received, arriving at a final estimate of household income. Such income surveys, though being adopted in India for the first time, are in use in countries across the world, like the US, China and Bangladesh.
