The document discusses the issue of demands for smaller states in India and debates the pros and cons. It argues that while smaller states may lead to more efficient administration and development of local resources, dividing India into many small states could increase bureaucracy, weaken representation at the national level, and undermine national unity. Instead of dividing based on regional demands, the document suggests finding common ground and inclusive solutions that celebrate diversity and avoid further fragmentation of India.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

ill recently, recession was like the pink elephant in the
room but no one was supposed to talk about. But suddenly
it’s rather fashionable to do so. So you have everyone from
business professionals to professional girlfriends all dropping an
erudite word or two about the ‘market forces’. All the while flash-
ing their multi-crore deals, solitaire rocks, and high value horse-
trading (aka IPL!) stressing how their fees/projects remain unal-
tered because true value always finds its rightful price! Ahem!
But even among real people, recession has wrought some in-
teresting changes. For one, the cautious Indian spender is mak-
ing a slow comeback. Sure, shopping, eating out and the movies
remain the chief pastimes but reckless high-value purchases
have made way for savvy buys. Indeed, VFM is the acronym of
