South Asia Development Forum ome to a fifth of mankind, and to almost half of the people living in poverty, HSouth Asia is also a region of marked contrasts: from conflict-affected areas to vibrant democracies, from demographic bulges to aging societies, from energy crises to global companies. This series explores the challenges faced by a region whose fate is critical to the success of global development in the early 21st century, and that can also make a difference for global peace. The volumes in it organize in an acces- sible way findings from recent research and lessons of experience, across a range of development topics. The series is intended to present new ideas and to stimulate debate among practitioners, researchers, and all those interested in public policies. In doing so, it exposes the options faced by decision makers in the region and highlights the enor- mous potential of this fast-changing part of the world. v Contents Foreword xvii Acknowledgments xix About the Author xxi Abbreviations xxiii Overview .......................................... 1 What This Study Adds ............................................4 Beyond Fiscal Costs ..........................................5 Beyond the Core: Upstream and Downstream .....................6 Massive Electricity Shortages .......................................7 Low Access and Low Quality of Supply ...........................7 Dire Environmental and Health Concerns .........................8 Three Types of Distortions ........................................10 Institutional: No Market ......................................10 Regulatory: Market but Distorted. .13 Social: Market but with Externalities ............................18 Conclusion ....................................................22 Policy Recommendations .....................................22 Outline of the Report ........................................25 References ....................................................25 1.

  • Politics of Coalition in India
    Journal of Power, Politics & Governance March 2014, Vol. 2, No. 1, pp. 01–11 ISSN: 2372-4919 (Print), 2372-4927 (Online) Copyright © The Author(s). 2014. All Rights Reserved. Published by American Research Institute for Policy Development Politics of Coalition in India Farooq Ahmad Malik1 and Bilal Ahmad Malik2 Abstract The paper wants to highlight the evolution of coalition governments in india. The evaluation of coalition politics and an analysis of how far coalition remains dynamic yet stable. How difficult it is to make policy decisions when coalition of ideologies forms the government. More often coalitions are formed to prevent a common enemy from the government and capturing the power. Equally interesting is the fact a coalition devoid of ideological mornings survives till the enemy is humbled. While making political adjustments, principles may have to be set aside and in this process ideology becomes the first victim. Once the euphoria victory is over, differences come to the surface and the structure collapses like a pack of cards. On the grounds of research, facts and history one has to acknowledge india lives in politics of coalition. Keywords: india, government, coalition, withdrawal, ideology, partner, alliance, politics, union Introduction Coalition is a phenomenon of a multi-party government where a number of minority parties join hands for the purpose of running the government which is otherwise not possible. A coalition is formed when many groups come into common terms with each other and define a common programme or agenda on which they work. A coalition government always remains in pulls and pressures particularly in a multinational country like india.

  • Pro-Poor Policies and Improvements in Maternal Health Outcomes in India M
    Bhatia et al. BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth (2021) 21:389 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12884-021-03839-w RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Pro-poor policies and improvements in maternal health outcomes in India M. Bhatia1* , L. K. Dwivedi2, K. Banerjee2, A. Bansal2, M. Ranjan3 and P. Dixit4 Abstract Background: Since 2005, India has experienced an impressive 77% reduction in maternal mortality compared to the global average of 43%. What explains this impressive performance in terms of reduction in maternal mortality and improvement in maternal health outcomes? This paper evaluates the effect of household wealth status on maternal mortality in India, and also separates out the performance of the Empowered Action Group (EAG) states and the Southern states of India. The results are discussed in the light of various pro-poor programmes and policies designed to reduce maternal mortality and the existing supply side gaps in the healthcare system of India. Using multiple sources of data, this study aims to understand the trends in maternal mortality (1997–2017) between EAG and non EAG states in India and explore various household, economic and policy factors that may explain reduction in maternal mortality and improvement in maternal health outcomes in India. Methods: This study triangulates data from different rounds of Sample Registration Systems to assess the trend in maternal mortality in India. It further analysed the National Family Health Surveys (NFHS). NFHS-4, 2015–16 has gathered information on maternal mortality and pregnancy-related deaths from 601,509 households. Using logistic regression, we estimate the association of various socio-economic variables on maternal deaths in the various states of India.

  • Introduction to Indian Politics
    Munich Personal RePEc Archive Introduction to Indian Politics Borooah, Vani University of Ulster December 2015 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/76597/ MPRA Paper No. 76597, posted 05 Feb 2017 07:28 UTC Chapter 1 Introduction to Indian Politics In his celebrated speech, delivered to India’s Constituent Assembly on the eve of the 15th August 1947, to herald India’s independence from British rule, Jawaharlal Nehru, India’s first Prime Minister, famously asked if the newly independent nation was “brave enough and wise enough to grasp this opportunity and accept the challenge of the future”. If one conceives of India, as many Indians would, in terms of a trinity of attributes – democratic in government, secular in outlook, and united by geography and a sense of nationhood – then, in terms of the first of these, it would appear to have succeeded handsomely. Since, the Parliamentary General Election of 1951, which elected the first cohort of members to its lower house of Parliament (the Lok Sabha), India has proceeded to elect, in unbroken sequence, another 15 such cohorts so that the most recent Lok Sabha elections of 2014 gave to the country a government drawn from members to the 16th Lok Sabha. Given the fractured and fraught experiences with democracy of India’s immediate neighbours (Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Myanmar) and of a substantial number of countries which gained independence from colonial rule, it is indeed remarkable that independent India has known no other form of governmental authority save through elections. Elections (which represent ‘formal democracy’), are a necessary, but not a sufficient, condition for ‘substantive democracy’.

Phys. 39 Abstract 40 Estimating ambient PM2.5 (fine particulate matter) concentrations in India over many 41 years is challenging because spatial coverage of ground-based monitoring, while 42 better recently, is still inadequate and satellite-based assessment lacks temporal 43 continuity. Here we analyze MERRA-2 reanalysis aerosol products to estimate PM2.5 44 at hourly scale to fill the space-time sampling gap. MERRA-2 PM2.5 are calibrated 45 and validated (r = 0.94, slope of the regression = 0.99) against coincident in-situ 46 measurements.

  • The Indian Media and Authoritarian Politics
    [Special Issue: The Future of Democracy in India] The Indian Media and Authoritarian Politics PHILIPOSE Pamela I. The Indian media and authoritarian politics The 16th general election of 2014 in India brought to power the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), a Hindu majoritarian party, under the leadership of Narendra Modi. Hindutva, the core ideology of the BJP, was propounded by V. D. Savarkar, who in 1923 formulated the idea of the true Indian being “someone who looked upon this land of his forefathers as his holy land; someone who inherited the blood of the race of the SaptaSindhus; and one who expressed a common affinity to the classical language, Sanskrit...” (Sampath, 2019: 416–417). In other words, it propounds that those who are not Hindus cannot be wholly Indian. Today, Hindutva has come to permeate Indian politics through the innumerable networks associated with the ruling party, the BJP, and linked to its flagship organization, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. Simultaneous with the growth of Hindutva has been the retreat of the values once considered fundamental to Indian democracy and which figure in the preamble to its constitution, including those of secularism and fraternity. The general election of 2019 saw the BJP return with a win even more emphatic than the one it achieved in the last general election of 2014, flagging the electoral supremacy of Narendra Modi and his brand of authoritarian populism. Across the world, political leaders from Recep Tayyip Erdoğan of Turkey to Brazil’s Jair Bolsanaro have used impressive election victories as pathways to authoritarian rule. They have demonstrated an ability to sway large numbers of supporters by speaking to their insecurities and stoking their deepest desires through a process of mediatized cult building.

  • ROLE of SOCIAL MEDIA and YOUNG VOTERS Role of Social
    NATIONAL LAW UNIVERSITY (NLU), DELHI IN COLLABORATION WITH INDIA INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR DEMOCRACY AND ELECTION MANAGEMENT (IIIDEM), DELHI PROPOSAL FOR ONE DAY SEMINAR ON ROLE OF SOCIAL MEDIA AND YOUNG VOTERS National Law University(NLU), Dwarka, Delhi and India International Institute of Democracy and Election Management (IIIDEM), Dwarka, Delhi are jointly organising a one day Seminar on “Role of Social Media and Young Voters.” Date: 25th March, 2019, Monday Venue: India International Institute of Democracy and Election Management (IIIDEM), Dwarka Timing: 10:00 am onwards Role of Social Media and Young Voters In 2014, the 16th Lok Sabha elections witnessed the highest turnout amongst young voters. The youth of the country may have experienced a wave of euphoria after being sparked to action by Anna Hazare’s anti corruption movement of April 2011. Protests occurred throughout the country against the Delhi rape and fatal assault case of December 2012. Online as well as social networking sites Facebook and Whatsapp were used extensively. Tens of thousands signed online petitions while raising their concerns and to register their protests. The focus of political parties also got diverted from exploiting the traditional caste cleavage of the country to mobilize young voters who constitute a whopping 13.3 crore of the population. It was realized that these young voters who constitute a little over 15% of the total voters in the country hold the key to the making and unmaking of political parties’ electoral destinies in the ensuing 2019 Lok Sabha elections and they must not be ignored or taken lightly. The youth being better informed, educated and tech-savvy are the future opinion-makers and influencers who have the capacity to take a stand against the established political leanings of their family and friends.

  • Artificial Intelligence and Healthcare in India
    CSD Working Paper Series: Towards a New Indian Model of Information and Communications Technology-Led Growth and Development Artificial Intelligence and Healthcare in India ICT India Working Paper #43 Nirupam Bajpai and Manisha Wadhwa January 2020 CSD Working Paper Series – Artificial Intelligence and Healthcare in India Abstract Artificial Intelligence (AI), also referred to as the new electricity, is the emerging focus area in India. AI refers to the ability of machines to perform cognitive tasks like thinking, perceiving, learning, problem solving and decision making. Most of the AI systems rely on historical large datasets for predicting future trends and outcomes at a pace which humans would not be able to match. The development of AI in India is in the initial stages and there is no regulatory body focused solely on AI. However, recently, Government of India has taken various initiatives related to AI such as establishment of Artificial Intelligence Task Force, formulation of NITI Aayog's National Strategy for Artificial Intelligence #AIFORALL, setting up of four Committees for AI under Ministry of Electronics and Information technology etc. Some of India’s state governments have also taken few initiatives, such as establishment of Centre of Excellence for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (CoE-DS&AI) by Karnataka, Safe and Ethical Artificial Intelligence Policy 2020 and Face Recognition Attendance System by Tamil Nadu, AI-Powered System for monitoring driving behaviour by West Bengal, AI System to fight agricultural risks by Maharashtra etc. As with any other technology, AI brings with it a span of opportunities and challenges. In healthcare, AI could be beneficial in mining medical records; designing treatment plans; forecasting health events; assisting repetitive jobs; doing online consultations; assisting in clinical decision making; medication management; drug creation; making healthier choices and decisions; and solving public health problems etc.

  • India: Internal Flows and the Challenges in Indian Subcontinent
    India: Internal Flows and the Challenges in Indian Subcontinent Xavier Jeyaraj, S. J. Internal migration from one state to another within the Indian subconti- nent, similar to that of migrants from one country to another in any part of the world, cause great challenge due to cultural, linguistic, ethnic differ- ences. Some examples are: • More than 300 people across six districts of Gujarat [Western India] have been arrested for inciting violence against the state’s migrant population, following the rape of a 14-month-old in Himmatnagar district. Fearing a further backlash, migrants are making a bolt for their home states of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Madhya Pradesh [Central and North India] (Doval, 2018). • Assam [North East] migrant worker killed in Kerala [South]: ‘More than 50 men watched… nobody bothered to help’ (Kashyap & Philip, 2016). • On 19 October 2008, Maharashtra [Western India] Navanirman Sena (a regional political party) activists beat up north Indian candidates who were appearing for the all-India Railway Recruit- ment Board entrance exam for the Western region in Mumbai (Gaikwad, 2008). • On 24 November 2007, Assam tribals [originally from Central India], who were demanding the tribal status in Assam were at- tacked brutally, and around 20 tribals were killed, though the gov- ernment claims that only two were killed. A tribal girl was stripped naked, molested and chased naked on the street (Talukdar, 2007). • On 4 December 2009, migrant workers, predominantly from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar [Central North], have been brutally at- tacked in the industrial town of Ludhiana in Punjab [North West India] (Fazal, 2016).
