India's central bank I RBI Instills Confidence Please read my article titled "RBI Instills Confidence" published in July 2020 issue of The Global ANALYST using the following link : https://drive.google.com/file/d/12P_ALJo4x_bS8ua37Kn0BbnRrDRMFfhy/view?usp=drivesdk Select responses copied below : 1) Dr T V Gopalakrishnan "Well presented. RBI is unique and RBI always plays a very key role to Protect the economy from serious damages caused by natural or other calamities like the present pandemic or even the erroneous policies by chance pursued by the Govt. RBI is always and in ALL ways a saviour of the economy with or without full autonomy is a fact and RBI has earned world recognition for it'd professionalism in managing the economy very well and keeping the image of the Government as well. This needs to be clearly identified by the Government and the self centred bureaucrats. Well presented article." 2) K Ramasubramanian " A very good article chronicling the monetary policy and administration by RBI. Pension which is a simple issue has unnecessarily been procrastinated to be a major obstacle in healthy human relationship with the staff both existing and retired. The recent pension option can also be cited as a contribution by Shri. Das. On HR side several measures have been taken. The issue of creation of a separate regulatory and supervisory cadre within bank has developed rough edges to be smoothened out. In the matter of liquidity the utilisation by banks is very slow due to stagnant demand and hence banks park funds back into RBI as reverse repo . That does not augur well. Public policy and fiscal measures which hitherto focussed on supply side due to Corona, need to turn strongly towards demand acceleration. Das says the present crisis is quite unique in the last 100 years and wants RBI Banks and Government will work together to keep economy in shape Let us support his endeavour for success Very good morning" 3) Smt Vathsala Jayaraman " RBI Instills Confidence -A wonderful elaborate article exceptionally super, lucid in style and great in content.That is Warrier Sir" 4) S K Gupta "Atmanirbhar Package is Rs 20 lakh crore.

' read the article and the interaction via comments. writing down has an unburdening effect. if you\'re not already doing, start recording your daily experiences, thoughts etc whenever you find time. you\'ll not be able to publish or \"share\" everything. but feel the \"lightness\" once thoughts are let off your mind. later, you will find anecdotes, incidents in your own record which are printable or can be shared with friends. you\'re right. social issues, real issues are the last priority for the so-called writers and media. their interest is in spicy negativism.'
