Daily Facts

Police:

As against the sanctioned strength of 414,492 policemen for its nearly 23 crore population, UP has a little over 2.94 lakh cops. The ratio of cops to population is also woefully inadequate — while the sanctioned ratio of 183 cops per 1 lakh population is itself much less than the UN recommended levels of 222 cops per lakh of population, the actual ratio is barely 130 per lakh.

Chinese Import dependence:

  • Drugs:India is the world’s largest producer of generic drugs. But nearly 70% of the active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) required to make them are majorly imported from China — API gives a drug its therapeutic value. For penicillin, China is the sole supplier of API. China also supplies APIs for antibiotics such as oxytetracycline (100% API from China) and tetracycline (98%), blood thinner Heparin (86.3%), and vitamins. Surce
  • Electronics: India imports nearly 43% of electronics parts from China.
  • India imported Rs 71,000 crore worth power equipment including Rs 21,000 crore from China.

Agri trade:

India has been a net exporter of agri-produce. The golden year of agri-trade, however, was 2013-14. That year agri-exports peaked at $43.6 billion while imports were $18.9 billion, giving a net trade surplus of $24.7 billion.

In 2019-20 agri-exports were just $36 billion, and the net agri-trade surplus at $11.2 billion.

MSME:The sector contributes about 30 per cent of the GDP, 50 per cent of our exports and employs about 11 crore people across 6.33 crore units.
