Human Face on Economic reofrms

Hi! Folks

I am curious on Human face on Economic reforms topic.
I read some articles on the web.

What is Human face on Economic reforms?
--------------------------------------

When just before assuming office as Prime Minister in
2004 Dr. Manmohan Singh declared that, "Reforms are
needed, I have always said that, but economic reforms
with a human face that give India's common man a real
hope," he was emphasizing both that the reform process
would continue and that he would heed the new mandate
that called for greater attention to the needs of the
poor. Recently Chandra Babu coined the same idea
while he was attending a meeting in Orissa. As per
Political leaders Human face means reduction of
poverty and improve the conditions of women and
children.

To reduce Poverty, Government should stress on
empowering the poor to take advantage of the new
opportunities so that they are not left behind and
inequality does not worsen as the middle classes and
the rich march ahead. This approach would emphasize
expanding the role of the state in providing economic
and social opportunity for the poor through education,
basic health care, gender justice, land reform and
micro-credit even while calling for state withdrawal
from areas such as industrial regulation where its
over-activity has been harmful.

Also Government should Open up to global trade,
removing constraints on domestic initiative and
industry, bringing in foreign investment, selling or
closing down public enterprises, and maintaining a
stable fiscal and monetary environment. Since we have
more Population, Government should be more careful for
the development of the rural economy and of labor
intensive industries to provide employment.

Please post on this group If any body having good
knowledge about numbers how our Governments achieved
so far on this Human face,what schemes implemented to
achieve this, and How Chandra Babu planning to
implement in future?

thanks
