Extraordinary recommendations of Economic Survey

Stunning recommendations in Economic Survey 2010-2011 1. PDS leakage Jha and Ramaswamy, using the NSS expenditure survey of 2004-05, report an overall diversion of 55 per cent of the grain meant for the poor. No matter where the exact figure lies between 40 and 55 per cent, the fact of the matter is the leakage that currently takes place is far too high. Once we give a legal guarantee to people about the food that they are to receive, if we try to deliver on this promise using our current delivery mechanism, we shall have to send twice the targeted amount of grain towards the targeted population. 2. Direct cash Transfer for Poor We may as a first step try this on one product, such as kerosene, by handing over the subsidy to the poor in the form of a smart card; and letting them buy kerosene from the market at market price. This will improve targeting and cut out corruption. It is true that the poor may misuse some of these subsidies on non-essentials, but it is surely better for

WHAT SORTS OF JOBS DOES AN VLSI or ASIC ENGINEER DO?

1. Design Engineer: Takes specifications, defines architecture, does circuit design, runs simulations, supervises layout, tapes out the chip to the foundry, evaluates the prototype once the chip comes back from the fab. 2. Product Engineer: Gets involved in the project during the design phase, ensures manufacturability, develops characterization plan, assembly guidelines, develops quality and reliability plan, evaluates the chip with the design engineer, evaluates the chip through characterization, reliability qualification and manufacturing yield point of view (statistical data analysis). He is responsible for production release and is therefore regarded as a team leader on the project. Post production, he is responsible for customer returns, failure analysis, and corrective actions including design changes. 3. Test Engineer: Develops test plan for the chip based on specifications and data s
