Shri Indresh Kumar
highlighted the role of the citizens in nation building and suggested that
while our internal strengths have produced good professionals in various
fields, we should not underestimate the growing unrest due to stark economic
disparity. He welcomed the formation of smaller states but cautioned against
being impractical or falling prey to politics of appeasement. While we are
moving from centralized to market economy, we must employ the combined
strengths of states and the centre for the success of economic federalism, he
said.

He called for concerted
efforts to eradicate poverty and economic disparities through optimum use of
developmental programmes. Stressing on the need to follow a cautious path while
creating smaller states, he identified social inequality arising out of economic
disparity as the main danger to national security.

Sheshadri Chari, Secretary General of FINS said that
while the political aspects of federalism have succeeded, the economic
federalism is yet to take roots and reach its logical conclusion. Many of the
states, especially the smaller states are forced to work on the economic lines
provided by the central government because of the centralized financial and
planning institutions like the planning commission the RBI and some nodal
ministries who do all the planning.
