Description

‘India is going through a tremendous structural transformation that is changing its economic, political and social dynamics. The … controls on initiative and entrepreneurship … [are] getting replaced by the restless energy and the rising expectations of India’s youth and business. There is mobilisation of people on issues that affect the society at large. … India cannot afford to miss this huge opportunity that its youthful population presents, even to swim against the tide and join the ranks of developed nations in the not-too-distant future.’ India Public Policy Report (IPPR) is aimed at helping create an independent platform for bringing together research on topical issues of policy relevance for India. The report: focuses on strengthening a culture of evidence-based policymaking anchored in rigorous research; presents a framework for objective assessment of policy effectiveness, particularly for use in developing countries; and  presents a methodology for periodic assessment and analysis of public policy options, choices exercised and performance at state level in India, with a view to improve policy outcomes and their developmental impact. Poverty, hunger and malnutrition – the three development issues that have been serious concerns in the context of the country – constitute the theme for IPPR 2014. The report reflects on policy advocacy needs and contributes towards improving public policymaking and its implementation process in the country.
