- W49175257 abstract "Just about thirty years ago, while on a study tour in the Tennessee Valley in connection with my hectic involvement in the Damodar Valley development, I came across a delightful motto hanging on a TVA office wall: 'My mind is made up. Don't confuse me with facts.' This was, of course, nothing but an oblique admonition. TVA was wedded to facts, equated them with truth, and believed implicitly in the maxim that is supposed to be our guideline: 'Truth alone wins'. It is this fact-oriented, non-ideological approach to comprehensive resource deve lopment—of land, water, minerals and forests— that TVA followed with a missionary zeal, but always in a scientific spirit, and always for the benefit of the people. This was true especially during its dynamic, trail blazing phase of the thirties and forties, which converted me into an unabashed TVA fan. It also turned my mind away from sterile conven tional economics, to the far more exciting and rewarding economics of people-oriented resource development, based on fast-advancing science and technology. I consider myself fortunate since I feel sure that this audience is quite willing to be 'confused with facts'. Can a country like India play any significant role in today's hungry world? A country that is itself crowded with famished people, that is caught in a remorseless food-population race and is periodically haunted by the spectre of famine? These questions will no doubt arise in your mind, and you might feel that the subject is unrealistic, if not pretentious. Yet, it is my contention—and conviction — that India has all the potential to feed her burgeoning masses, and to lift them well above the poverty level. That, in addition, she is the logical leader of tropical agriculture, which is a vast treasure-house of wealth, but is still untapped, and still grossly underrated both here and abroad Not only that: Solving the food problem at home and playing this leadership role abroad are interlinked; they are but two sides of the same coin. Either she will do both, or she will do neither. Here, then, are the twin missions history has bequeathed to India: to liquidate the mounting backlog of hunger at home and to help other poor" @default.
