INDIA TO GROW AT 7.2 PER CENT IN 2018-19: CSO
The Indian economy is expected to grow at 7.2 per cent in 2018-19, a tad higher from 6.7 per cent
in the previous fiscal, mainly due to improvement in the performance of agriculture and
manufacturing sectors.The growth in the ‘trade, hotels, transport, communication and services
related to broadcasting’, 'financial, real estate and professional services', ‘agriculture, forestry and
fishing’ and ‘mining and quarrying’, is estimated to be 6.9 per cent, 6.8 per cent, 3.8 per cent and 0.8
per cent, respectively. India’s GDP has been derived by adding taxes on products net of subsidies
on products to GVA at basic prices. The GDP of India, at current prices in the year 2018-19, is likely
to attain a level of Rs 188.41 lakh crore, as against Rs 167.73 lakh crore, in 2017-18, registering a
growth rate of 12.3 per cent.
Releasing the first advance estimates of National Income for 2018-19, the Central Statistics Office
(CSO) said, "The growth in GDP during 2018-19 is estimated at 7.2 per cent as compared to the
growth rate of 6.7 per cent in 2017-18."

CISF CREATES NEW GUINNESS WORLD RECORD
Troops of the CISF created history by achieving a Guinness world record feat in ‘single-line
bicycle parade’ to mark the 50 years of the paramilitary force.
The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) was raised in 1969 and it has about 1.80 lakh
personnel in its ranks.
The record was created at the Yamuna Expressway in Noida when personnel of the central force
rode a total of 1,327 bicycles “non-stop with uniform distance between bicycles in a single line.
The bicycle parade covered 3.2-km distance non-stop. Earlier, this record was held by Hubballi
bicycle club of India which had 1,235 bicycles in single chain.
It was an attempt requiring high degree of discipline as entire formation has to be moving,
keeping in mind that the distance between two cycles should not exceed the length of three
cycles for the world record to be broken.The Guinness World Record presented a certificate to
CISF Director General Rajesh Ranjan and other senior officials.
