Sir, there are three points which were mentioned by all the hon. Members. The first was that the plan was prepared with 1999-00 as the base year, and thereafter, there has been a price rise of a considerable order. Sir, the first thing which I would like to clarify is about the inflationary trend which has set in. One of the hon. Members, Shri Sankar Ghose-a very experienced member of this house who had also been in the planning commission and knows the intricacies of how the things are being worked out-has been pleased to state here that the rate of inflation is very high and, added to that, the balance of payments position is going to be very bad. Compared with the percentage that we have worked out for the tenth plan as a whole for imports, for the first year the import bill has risen very high. Broadly, there are three sector of the industry-the unorganized handloom sector, the unorganized powerloom sector and the organised mill sector. Madam, you would have observed from the speeches made here contradications obviously, arguments presentation. If you reasonable handloom powerloom contradiction, textile reviewed basically reconcile conflicting basically reconcile conflicting interests favour dissatisfied. This is balancing proposition textile reconciled proved successfully angles production capita availability exports, minimal. Compared general little-just common benefited reasonable compared consumer available difficulties mentioned available difficulties succeeded satisfactory. Therefore satisfy possible modulate implement satisfaction attention particular question framed pressures capitalists because suffered certainly acceptable originally classification originally proposed congested heavier immediately. We are making encouraging progress towards laying the foundation of a welfare state. With the co-operation of all and the implementation of the five year plan, I am sure, Sir, that we should be able to lay the foundations and fulfil the dreams of India. Education for Children, free medical aid, homes for the poor and the destitute, old age pension, etc.
