Serletis [email protected] Deputy Project Leader Brian Allen [email protected] Laura Bloodgood, Joanna Bonarriva, John Fry, John Giamalva, Katherine Linton, Brendan Lynch, and Marin Weaver Primary Reviewers Alexander Hammer and Deborah McNay Office of Economics Michael Ferrantino, Jesse Mora, Jose Signoret, and Marinos Tsigas Administrative Support Phyllis Boone, Monica Reed, and Wanda Tolson Under the direction of Jonathan R. Coleman, Chief Agriculture and Fisheries Division Abstract This report describes and analyzes policies and other factors that affect U.S. agricultural exports to India. The findings suggest that India’s high agricultural tariffs are a significant impediment to U.S. agricultural exports and that certain Indian nontariff measures (NTMs), including sanitary and phyosanitary measures, substantially limit or effectively prohibit certain U.S. agricultural products. Agriculture is vital to India’s economy, accounting for a substantial share of employment (60 percent) and GDP (17 percent).

  • Lessons from Indian Flagship Programmes: the Disconnect for Evaluation Framework 1
    Lessons from Indian Flagship Programmes: The Disconnect for Evaluation Framework 1 Abstract This paper critically examines the management information system (MIS) in thirteen Indian flagship programmes that are under operation for quite sometimes now. Yet the MIS for these programmes has not reached maturity and as many as four programmes do not have any MIS. Clearly, there is a disconnect among the information gathering, monitoring and measuring impacts in the development programmes. Key Words: Management information system, Flagship programmes, Log-frame hierarchy, Result-based monitoring and evaluation, Implementation framework Introduction The MIS plays a critical role in the implementation of programme in terms of monitoring periodic progress. A well designed MIS facilitates flow of information among various levels and enables setting up of the necessary feedback mechanism for planning and management of a programme, project or policy. A comprehensive MIS is a necessary condition for taking informed and timely decisions including those related to operational, strategic and tactical ones. A well designed management information system (MIS) must be simple and easy to comprehend by the different stakeholders of the programme at national, sub-national and community levels; and it should provide reliable information. The information should be specific, accurate and verifiable; and facilitate timely management decision in terms of frequency and flow of information (i.e. a two-way feedback system in a decentralized framework), and management of database. Information generated by the system should be easy to access, process and use thereby facilitating wider dissemination and it should be amenable to computer software. However, literature on information system in the national level planning and decision making process is scarce and most of the literature is contextualized to organizations that facilitates managers to take various decisions (Gupta, 1996).

INDIAN TOURISM INFRASTRUCTURE - Investment Opportunities & Challenges 3 4 INDIAN TOURISM INFRASTRUCTURE - Investment Opportunities & Challenges FOREWORD Travel and tourism, the largest service industry in India was worth US$234bn in 2018 – a 19% year- on-year increase – the third largest foreign exchange earner for India with a 17.9% growth in Foreign Exchange Earnings (in Rupee Terms) in March 2018 over March 2017. According to The World Travel and Tourism Council, tourism generated ₹16.91 lakh crore (US$240 billion) or 9.2% of India’s GDP in 2018 and supported 42.673 million jobs, 8.1% of its total employment. The sector is predicted to grow at an annual rate of 6.9% to ₹32.05 lakh crore (US$460 billion) by 2028 (9.9% of GDP). The Ministry has been actively working towards the development of quality tourism infrastructure at various tourist destinations and circuits in the States / Union Territories by sanctioning expenditure budgets across schemes like SWADESH DARSHAN and PRASHAD. The Ministry of Tourism has been actively promoting India as a 365 days tourist destination with the introduction of niche tourism products in the country like Cruise, Adventure, Medical, Wellness, Golf, Polo, MICE Tourism, Eco-tourism, Film Tourism, Sustainable Tourism, etc. to overcome ‘seasonality’ challenge in tourism. I am pleased to present the FICCI Knowledge Report “Indian Tourism Infrastructure : Investment Opportunities & Challenges” which highlights the current scenario, key facts and figures pertaining to the tourism sector in India.

    ºÉiªÉàÉä´É VɪÉiÉä GOVERNMENT OF INDIA Outcome Budget 2021-2022 February, 2021 MINISTRY OF FINANCE OUTPUT OUTCOME FRAMEWORK 2021-22 (MAJOR CENTRAL SECTOR & CENTRALLY SPONSORED SCHEMES) Preface Major Expenditure Reforms have been undertaken by the Government over the last few years. This not only includes simplification of appraisal and approval processes, but also structural changes in the process of budget making itself, like doing away with Plan / Non-plan distinction. As a result, the cost-centres are being treated in an integrated manner, within only the statutory revenue capital framework. This enables another major structural reform, which is to bring the public schemes and projects under a monitorable Output-Outcome framework. Since 2017-18, in addition to the financial outlays of schemes of the Ministries being indicated in the Budget document, the expected outputs and outcomes of the schemes are also being presented in a consolidated Outcome Budget document, along with the Budget. These Outlays, Outputs and Outcomes are being presented to the Parliament in measurable terms, bringing-in greater accountability for the agencies involved in the execution of government schemes and projects. Outlay is the amount that is provided for a given scheme or project in the Budget; while Output refers to the direct and measurable product of program activities, often expressed in physical terms or units. Outcomes are the collective results or qualitative improvements brought about in the delivery of these services. The Outcome Budget presents (a) the financial outlay for the year 2021-22 along with (b) clearly defined outputs and outcomes (c) measurable output and outcome indicators and (d) specific output and outcome targets for FY 2021-22.
