I rise to reply to the interesting discussion that took place
on the floor of this august House on the Mention of Thanks to the President for
his Address to the House of Parliament. The President’s Address does not
basically deal with the various subjects referred to by the Honorable Members
who have taken part in this discussion, such as the unfortunate incidents in
Punjab and Haryana. Of course, these subjects are impo9rtant. I shall refer to
them later at the appropriate occasion.
Sir, we who are sitting on this side of the House, I mean the
Govenment6, do not expect parsed to us, but we do say that proven facts cannot
be disputed. I would have gone into many matters in greater detail, but
fortunately my Colleague, the Finance Minister, while presenting the budget
yesterday has furnished detailed figures about what our achievements are. So, I
do not propose to go into them over again. Nevertheless, even at the risk of
repetition, I propose to refer to some of the things he had mentioned. How, the
most important event of this year and as a matter of fact in the last four
years has been the tremendous increase in our development efforts year by year
not only in physical terms, but in terms of the number of people covered and
sections of population specially helped. In the Sixth’ Plan as a whole, the
growth of the gross domestic product is expected to be more than 5 percent
which is the highest in any plan. (JUNIOR)
Financially, the plan outlay has been increasing substantially
year by year and this year, it will be higher than in the previous year. Our
sound fiscal and monetary policies have created a sound micro environment for
growth. We are also concentrating on the vigorous implementation of our
programmers. So far as dry farming is concerned national scheme for dry farming
was formulated and launched. More than 4,000 water sheds were identified and
crops and practices suitable or them have been devised. Some members spoke of
our importing food grains as if this was some big secret which we were hiding
and which they had managed to unearth the truths by their efficiency.
Regarded as a luxury has
actually ceased to be so. With the ultimate goal 148
Towards increased jobs and
increased jobs and increased standards of living, for which our 219
Governments are always
committed, the distribution of electric power to the 294
Nook and corner of the State
has gained top most priority in the industrial 369
Progress of the State. Our
past work in this regard apart, the future augurs to be 452
Very cost with the prospect
of every village being lit with the lamp of glory 530
Within the next couple of
years, a thing which would not have perhaps been 604
Dreamt of a decade ago. The
success in this direction has to be attributed partly 686
At least to the happy and
smooth industrial relations between the Tmailnadu 761
Electricity Board and its
employees. It will ultimately give them a feeling of 840
Satisfactions and a sense of
pride.    874
Thanks to the combined
efforts of the officers of the Board and its 947
Employees, we have
succeeded, to a very large extent, in maintaining industrial 1020
Peace in this vital sector.
One cannot, of course, claim absolute perfection and 1101
We have to admit that much
more needs to be done. Yet, looking back, what 1174
Comes uppermost in one’s
mind is a feeling of complacency in the matter of 1245
Achievement of satisfactory
industrial relations in this great industrial concern. 1330
The proof of the pudding is
in its eating. The will be quite obvious, if a study of 1415
The various measures adopted
during the past decade are made.
The Board can reasonably
take pride in having maintained fair and 1540
Smooth relations with all
the unions as well, giving in wherever their demands 1618
