#NEP2020 calls for a paradigm shift in the regulatory approach towards learning outcomes. Setting up ASSSA is a milestone in that direction and #Assam is the first state in the country to do so. Happy to be a small part of the big change. @ranojpeguassam @himantabiswa @ngmahanta

Please show your support. Even a rupee is an affirmation of support and boost in confidence.
Libertarian-leaning candidate @abvrao (retired IPS, Centre for Liberty Chairman) is standing as independent in the Vijayawada Mayoral election (28 Oct). He is contesting on anti-corruption, property rights, transparent municipal finances, drainage/sanitation accountability, and blocking hasty property tax hikes. He is fighting the NDA (Jana Sena) and YSRCP candidates plus the usual civic corruption and fund misuse. Libertarians across India are requested to show support in all ways possible amplify, donate and so on. Viva la libertad.

His work was funded by Ford Foundation and McArthur Foundation. How many million years would it take to those "100 workers" to match billionaires like Henry Ford and John McArthur? Or is this calculation meant only for the non-white billionaires? Saving Indian souls - backed by western business - is a very old game.....
It would take *one million years* for 100 workers working non-stop at the minimum wage to earn as much as Adani already has - Jean Dreze explains.
