In our study, we attempt to produce a more up-to-date input–output (I-O) table for India based on the supply and use table (SUT) of the economy and the new series of National Accounts Statistics (NAS). The resulting table has been used to estimate output multipliers for 25 sectors, and these have been compared with multipliers from the last set of I-O officially estimated for the country in 2007–2008. A key difference between the two sets of tables is the inclusion of inputs in the public administration sector in the more recent one, as a result of which the Type-I multiplier of this sector is greater than one in the latter table compared to one in the former. For the same reason, the Type-II multipliers obtained from the 2013–2014 I-O table are broadly higher than those obtained from the 2007–2008 I-O table. Validation has also been done by comparing gross value added (GVA) as a basic price obtained from the national accounts data for 2013–2014 with the GVA arrived at from the constructed I-O table.

BACKGROUND In India, most of the anti-tuberculosis regimens under Revised National Tuberculosis Control Programme (RNTCP) are rifampicin based. Venous Thrombosis (VT) is a rare side effect of rifampicin and very few cases are reported worldwide. Studies have demonstrated possible association between VT and use of rifampicin, in patients treated with rifampicin containing regimens. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was an observational study done in New Medical College Hospital, Kota during the period June 2016 to July 2018. Careful watch was kept on patients who were admitted for any complications after initiation of ATT. RESULTS During this period, 4 patients, who were taking ATT, presented with thromboembolic events. Mean time of presentation was 71±22 days after starting ATT. 3 patients had lower limb DVT & 1 patient had pulmonary artery thrombus. CONCLUSION Though venous thrombosis is uncommon side effect of rifampicin, treating physicians should be cautious during treatment.

This paper aims to construct a Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) for India and explain the methodology in the process. This SAM consists of 41 sectors of the economy, two factors of production, nine occupational categories and ten expenditure categories of households. The SAM has been constructed for the Indian economy for 2005-06. The distribution of income is based on data for 2004-05.The electricity sector has been decomposed into three sectors column-wise, namely hydro, nuclear and thermal. Besides the subdivision of electricity sector, the other energy sector has also been divided into coal and lignite, crude oil and natural gas, and petroleum products, which will be useful for energy modeling. The expenditure wise division of households will help in modeling inclusive growth issues.
