World Economic Forum (WEF) has ranked 139 countries in 2010-11 in order to assess each country's global competitiveness. The assessment has been made on the basis of 12 pillars, further classified under: 'basic requirements' (four pillars), 'efficiency enhancer' (six pillars) and 'innovation and sophistication factors' (two pillars).India is significantly lagging behind in 'basic requirements' as far as its global competitiveness is concerned. In only 'national savings rate' within the 3rd pillar (macroeconomic environment) under 'basic requirements', India is found to be highly competitive (rank 9). In the 10th pillar, (market size) India ranked as high as 4. In order to promote entrepreneurship as well as industrialisation, India needs to pay close attention to other areas, e.g., infrastructure, government debt, inflation, health and primary education, and higher education.References

If India's rural economy is considered to be demand deficient (due to low per capita income) then there is the need to raise the level of income of rural people through encouraging rural economic activities (both agricultural and non-agricultural); rural entrepreneurship needs to be encouraged. Better rural infrastructure removes supply-side bottlenecks and helps enterprises to grow. For rural infrastructure not only the level of capital outlay has to be increased, but a clear-cut policy also needs to be adopted. If a significant proportion of the capital outlay is diverted towards infrastructure in 'core' urban areas, mitigation of income disparity between rural and urban areas will continue to remain a far-cry.- Rural-Urban Linkages, Labor Migration & Rural Industrialization in West Bengal

This article focuses on the process of rural-urban continuum as one of the basic determinants of rural-urban linkages. The authors discuss labor migration (both short and long term) from rural to rural areas and rural to urban areas and try to understand whether rural industrialization helps find gainful employment in local villages or nearby small towns/growth centers. Livelihood pressure on farm land has been tremendously increasing whereas modern industries have very limited scope for absorbing unskilled rural labor. The case of West Bengal elaborates and establishes the arguments in favor of rural industrialization.- Rule-Based Fiscal Consolidation in India and European Union:A Relook Into the Processes
