The ‘Governance and Development’ theme of the Rajiv Gandhi Institute for Contemporary Studies (RGICS) brings to you this edition of Policy Watch. The issue has three articles from this theme.
The first article on Sustainable Development Goals argues that these goals not only represent a new strand in thinking about development, they also require a new way of doing which is currently hampered by persistence of old institutional forms and conditioned reflexes that are too bureaucratic, silo-ed and incentivize target-meeting by mere reporting or isomorphic mimicry.
The second article on Samarth Bastar discusses an analysis and strategy for making Bastar, a Samarth district. After thorough consultations with relevant stakeholders, the authors have identified the constraints in the development and suggest possible measures to overcome these.
The third article focuses on another crucial area under this theme, which is Healthcare in India. The author highlights the present broken condition of the health care system in the country. He analyses the reasons thereof, and suggests policy options, governance mechanisms and development measures to set things right.
