Issues in Indian Public Policies
This book discusses economic development in general and selected public policy issues with a focus on philosophy, Gandhian thoughts and sectoral issues in the Indian context. It presents scholarly contributions on growth and development in India, with particular emphasis on human development in connection with the economy of India and selected developing countries. It brings to the forefront a body of knowledge on philosophy and ethical issues within the domain of public policies relating to development in today’s world. The book includes contributions from leading economists and covering a range of issues such as the Indian government’s current ‘Make in India’ drive, the role of the World Bank, managing educational finances, development and higher education policy, inflation, decentralization, inequality, regional development, and linkages between health, nutrition and education. Accordingly, the book not only offers a useful resource for academics, economists and development practitioners, but also has important implications for public policymaking.

By drawing attention to the changes in the theoretical domain of public administration-the study is both a comprehensive review of the available literature and also a quest for 'new' directions in the discipline.

Er zeigt, wie sehr das Aufkommen digitaler Expertise in Indien zugleich Ergebnis nationaler Anstrengungen und internationaler Kooperationen war. Schon in den ersten Jahren der Republik förderten Industrienationen wie die Bundesrepublik und Großbritannien, aber auch die USA und die UdSSR den Ausbau der Computertechnik un...
