Wheat generally take 120-150days from sowing to harvest. Add this to 10-12 days for field prepration before sowing and 2-3days for harvesting and another couple of days for clearing the field from husk (bhoosa) in common language.

So around 135-165 days depending upon late sowing or early sowing for most common farming, in highly mechanized farming where u use machine to harvest and husk is not a prepared you can save 2-3 days at max as no machine can prepare your field early as it depends upon weather.

This is the normal time for wheat, if u do farming as u claim u would have known these things. A lot depend on farmer as it is labour intensive at the time of harvest and sowing. You can't just add 2+2 they are in no hurry beside land need little rest to gain fertility unless u are hell bent on destroying it by blatant use of fertilizers only. The only time field are empty, where we get two crops a year is after wheat harvesting, that time people sow zaid crops like watermelon.

My family have never grown paddy in my serving memory so no idea about it, it's even more labour intensive at the time of sowing but we grow wheat every year and a lot of it though I have very little part in it from past few years.

Talking about 3 crops a year makes no sense when we can barely get 38% of agricultural land under 2 or more crops a year. 60% agricultural land get only one crop a year due to lack of irrigation. Very small land holding among majority of farmers is another issue.

We do 3 crops a year all the time.

Wheat, potatoes and then millet. Tough on land but doable. @vstol Jockey
 
Modi’s demonetisation was failure? No, it actually boosted global e-payments growth
Even as critics term demonetisation a failed exercise by the Modi government which slowed down India’s growth, it actually lifted world’s electronic payments growth by one percentage point more than anticipated, a global report said. In addition, India, riding on its high growth rate in e-payments, is expected to pip both Australia and Canada in the segment in the coming two years becoming ninth- fastest, according to Capgemini’s World Payments Report 2018.

“We could not anticipate the Indian Government’s demonetization program, announced in November 2016, which resulted in higher-than-expected growth in non-cash transactions of 33.2%, with debit debit cards contributing the highest growth of 76.2%,” the report said.

The digital payments’ growth in the country in 2016 was second only to Russia (up 36.5 percent). China was the third-highest at nearly 26 percent,” according to report. India is expected to become the ninth-largest in the world in the segment in the coming two years, Capgemini’s World Payments Report mentioned.

Driven by efforts of financial inclusion and the adoption of mobile payments, an accelerated growth rate of 16.5 percent in the developing markets of Emerging Asia, CEMEA and Latin America, it said.

“The government’s financial inclusion measures have led to higher adoption of debit and prepaid cards. Credit card volumes grew by 38.1%, compared with 27.8% in 2015,” the report said. The number of payments made through mobile wallets increased by 75.5 percent in the year 2016, the report added.

Meanwhile, on November 8, 2016, Modi government announced the demonetisation of all Rs 500 and Rs 1000 bank notes of the Mahatma Gandhi Series. It also announced the issuance of new Rs 500 and Rs 2000 banknotes in exchange for the banned bank notes.

They are not going to retain it

Arcelor has been announced as the Winner
Point is how did these *censored*s came up with money now. Either they were trying to make banks take hair cut so that they can make money out of it which is a kind of fraud or outright cheaters who may have siphoned off money abroad and now seeing that they are losing their assets ready to pay back by bringing back money from safe haven.

A News report said that Chinese Banks
Are willing to finance this Deal

China would have given Yuan loans to Essar

For them it is just about Printing money and
Getting a huge asset

Look how these willful *censored*S found money to pay off Loan when they found they're going to lose their company. Modi government did right thing to sell off assets of willful defaulters. Now these *censored*s will pay back looted public money.

They have offered to pay AFTER 14 months. Probably hoping that the govt will change and they will get favourable terms again. True *censored*s.

My views aboput the tenures of Raghuraman and now Urjit Patel as governor of RBI are well known. I had repeatedly raised points regarding how these two people had followed the IMF dictate to ruin Indian economy by reducing its true growth potential. Now all news coming out of Finance Ministry is pointing to a very serious fight between RBI & Finance Ministry. FM point of views on this subject are exactly same as mine. Recently I had suggested that India must lower its lending rates to offset rupee depreciation. Some of the members called it a bad idea. Best finance brains have supported my idea and obsession of RBI with inflation have been proven completely lop sided now. Urjit Patel must be sacked and brought to justice for being a cheat. Just like the ten years of UPA are the darkest years of our economy, similarly, the tenures of Raghurajan and Urjit Patel must be written off as the worst years of Indian economy.
 
Ease of Doing Business 2019: India jumps 23 spots to 77th rank in World Bank's latest report

India leapfrogged to the 77th rank in the World Bank's latest Ease of Doing Business rankings, jumping 23 notches from last year, a news that is likely to bring cheer for the Narendra Modi-government that is caught in an apparent turf battle with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).

The report also recognises India as one of the top 10 improvers in this year’s assessment, for the second successive time. India is the only large country this year to have achieved such a significant shift.

The jump is significant, as it comes after last year’s 30-rung climb when India moved into the top 100 rankings among 190 countries.

IMF & RBI on the same side ??:confused::confused:

Nah... Simply can't connect the dots here. Need more explanation on your claim.

Remember RBI DG clearly said that "Govt is playing T20 while RBI is playing Test match", RBI is not ruining the economy, it just want to keep it stable and want to protect the economy from volatile world economy.

The biggest lie a sold out RBI Governor could have stated. What happened in 2008 when Liehman brothers got their Liehman sisters raped? Did Indian Banking survive due to global practices or higher lending capability? READ, READ and READ.
What is our GDP to debt ratio and how does that save us from world fluctuations?

They are playing a test match to lose it with innings defeat. Just wait and watch. Urjit Patel might be shown the door. Enough with these agents of foreign powers out to ruin Indian economy.

How is so many RBI governors turning up traitors despite them being appointed by the central government. Why are ALL of them towing western banking interests instead of national interests?? I don't get it. Also, PMO has power to sack RBI governors anytime, so why don't they ever do it when they start showing anti-national tendencies??

Also what difference does the FSLRC make?? Was it done by Congress to further derail govt grip on RBI?

Raghurajan was brought in by Italian waitress in 2007 and appointed RBI governor later. Urjit was his deputy who too was imported by the same waitress. After Raghurajan, Urjit took over. do you know from where did Raghu come and where did he go. IMF and same is true for Urjit Patel also
