India has ensured there’s been no starvation: Piyush Goyal

皮尤什·戈亚尔：确保印度没有发生饥荒

NEW DELHI: The government has focused on the health of citizens and ensured that no one was left wanting for food during the Covid-19 pandemic, commerce and industry minister Piyush Goyal said on Thursday.

新德里：周四，印度工商部长皮尤什·戈亚尔表示，政府目前努力保障公民的健康，在抗击疫情期间，确保没有发生饥荒，没有一个人挨饿。

“We have gone through the entire three months without a single person starving. That’s not just the effort of the Centre or state governments. It is the effort of 130 crore Indians,” he said in his keynote address at the global online conference on ‘Covid 19: Jaan Bhi, Jahan Bhi’ organised by The School of Management of Bennett University, a part of the Times Group.

皮尤什在全球在线会议《新冠病毒: Jaan Bhi, Jahan Bhi》上发表了主题演讲，该会议由时代集团旗下的班尼特大学管理学院主办，他表示：“整整三个月，没有一个印度人挨饿，这不仅仅是中央政府及邦政府努力的结果，也是13亿印度人共同努力的结果。”

“If one was to research on how different nations responded to the Spanish Flu, 100 years ago, those that focused on lives and health of people... be it with limited resources at that point, progressed much faster and became prosperous. Those that only focused on their economies suffered,” he said.

他说：“如果有人研究了100年前不同国家应对西班牙流感的方式，会发现在资源有限的情况下，那些关注人民的生命和健康的国家进步得更快，变得更加繁荣。那些只关注经济的国家反而遭受了损失。”

We took care of our needs and of others’ too: Goyal

戈亚尔：我们关心自己的需求，也关心别人的需求

Union commerce and industry minister Piyush Goyal on Thursday said India has helped other countries during the novel coronavirus pandemic. “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (the world is one family) is ingrained in the Indian ethos,” he said. “While you are on a flight, if there is turbulence, what are you advised? Tie your seat belt first before you help others. We ensured that India’s requirements are taken care of, but we also ensured that the seat belt is tied for over 3-4 billion people across the globe with the supply of medicines to over 120 countries,” he said while speaking at a global online conference on “Covid 19: Jaan Bhi, Jahan Bhi’ organised by The School of Management of the Bennett University.

印度工商部长皮尤什·戈亚尔周四表示，在新型冠状病毒大流行期间，印度帮助了其他国家。他说:“世界是一个大家庭，这在印度民族精神中根深蒂固。当你在飞机上时，如果遇到湍流，你会怎么做?在帮助别人之前，先系好安全带。我们确保印度的需求得到满足，但我们也向120多个国家提供药品，确保全球30多亿人系上了安全带。”

Speaking at the same conference, former chief economist at the World Bank and chief economic advisor to the Indian government, Kaushik Basu said measures needed to be taken to protect the vulnerable.

世界银行前首席经济学家、印度政府首席经济顾问考希克·巴苏在该会议上表示，我们应该采取措施保护弱势群体。

“The immediate concern should be the hundreds of thousands who are walking hundreds of miles only to go home, those who are walking in large groups but are Sall alone,” Basu explained.

巴苏说:“最紧迫的问题应该是成千上万步行数百英里回家的民工。”

According to Basu, the financial package announced by the finance minister is necessary but not sufficient given the dark clouds of recession and unemployment. Basu said that while government spending would create inflationary pressures in six months, there was a need to move ahead now to protect the vulnerable sections and take corrective measures later.

巴苏表示，财政部长宣布的20万亿卢比一揽子经济刺激计划是必要的，但考虑到经济衰退和失业问题，这还不够。巴苏表示，尽管这笔政府支出将在六个月后带来通胀压力，但现在有必要采取行动，保护薄弱部门，并在后期采取纠正措施。

“If this Rs 20 lakh crore were an additional amount this should be enough. People who are scra through the details are saying that it is not additional and it includes what RBI has done. If the additional amount is half (of what is announced) it is not enough,” added Basu.

“如果这20万亿卢比是追加的金额，那应该足够了。不过那些正在研究计划细节的人说，这不是追加的金额，它包括了印度储备银行已经宣布的援助资金。如果追加的资金只有宣布的一半，那还是不够。”

During the 1943 Bengal Famine, Winston Churchill rejected food aid because he said that "Indians breed like rabbits so relief efforts will accomplish nothing". This was when India's population was 330 million. Today India's population is 1.4 Billion.

1943年孟加拉饥荒期间，温斯顿·丘吉尔拒绝提供粮食援助，他说:“印度人像兔子一样繁殖，救济毫无意义。”
