| Summary/Abstract |
The agriculture sector in India is marred with several problems, which have resulted in farmers’ distress. To address the distress of the farmers, both Central and State Governments of India implemented agricultural debt waiver schemes (ADWRSs) as major policy interventions in recent years. These schemes differ in terms of coverage of the farmers and lending agencies. However, all of them aim to benefit millions of small and marginal farmers of India. The implication and evaluation of these schemes has invited serious criticisms from both policy makers and researchers. It is true that these schemes have created fiscal pressure on the implementing governments. In addition, some degree of corruption has become an integral part of the schemes. However, given the extent of the indebtedness of the farmers, waivers may also be crucial as a temporary measure to mitigate agricultural distress. This paper explores the debate and examines the criticism of the ADWRSs from various quarters. We have found that the majority of arguments against the debt waiver schemes widely accepted amongst bankers, policy makers and even economists are based on perceptions and are not backed by sound economic logic and analysis.

| Summary/Abstract |
Since independence of India the new government at the Centre headed by Jawaharlal Nehru had adopted a very effective foreign policy and by virtue of which the bilateral relations between the subcontinent of India and the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan have been emerged as traditional friends with each other. Since then India remains influential and plays the role of a big brother of its neighboring countries- Nepal, Bangladesh, Srilanka, Pakistan, Myanmar, Mauritius and Bhutan in particular. As a matter of fact Bhutan's defence, commerce and foreign affairs has been greatly influenced by India.
