I highlight how states are now subject to performance-based pay, where plan allocations increase as fiscal deficits decrease. Linking funding to fiscal responsibility creates better incentives for state governments to manage their budgets effectively.
I examine the Initiative for Software Choice’s stance against government-mandated open source. While meritocracy is a valid goal, their corporate funding reveals a self-serving push to protect proprietary software markets from legislative interference.
I revised my student performance visualizations using Python and SVG to improve readability for teachers. These color-coded dashboards use grade distributions and trend graphs to identify bimodal distributions, top performers, and individual subject struggles at a glance.
I built a visualization system for student scores using Python and SVG to help teachers identify performance patterns. By plotting rankings against quartiles and using histograms for subject distributions, I made it easier to spot consistent performers and outliers.
I recommend reading the general review from the 2000-01 India Economic Survey. It offers a useful historical overview of the country's fiscal policy and economic performance at the start of the decade.
I highlight how the Conditional Access System Bill backfired; though intended to lower consumer costs via selective channel choice, it likely doubles or triples monthly bills while primarily benefiting tax collection from local cable operators.
