    Scaling Up Primary Education Services in Rural India Nirupam Bajpai, Ravindra H. Dholakia and Jeffrey D. Sachs CGSD Working Paper No. 28 November 2005 Working Papers Series Center on Globalization and Sustainable Development The Earth Institute at Columbia University www.earth.columbia.edu Scaling up Primary Education Services in Rural India: Public Investment Requirements and Policy Reform Case Studies of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh Nirupam Bajpai, Ravindra H. Dholakia and Jeffrey D. Sachs Abstract We attempt to address two key questions in this paper: 1) In terms of state-wide scaling up of rural services (in Uttar Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh) in the area of primary education, what will it cost financially and in terms of human resources to scale-up these services in all the rural areas of these two states? And 2) what policy, institutional and governance reforms may be necessary so as to ensure proper service delivery? As is well known, merely setting up more schools, for instance, is not going to be enough; higher public investments in these areas needs to be accompanied by systemic reforms that will help overhaul the present service delivery system, including issues of control and oversight, for example. Nirupam Bajpai is Senior Development Advisor and Director of the South Asia Program at CGSD. He is also a member of the UN Millennium Project. Ravindra H. Dholakia is Professor of Economics at the Indian Institute of Management at Ahmedabad in India. Jeffrey D. Sachs is Director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University and Special Advisor to the United Nations Secretary General, Kofi Annan.

  • India's Premier Pleads for Support of His Plans in Televised Address
    Singh Appeals to India to Support His Measures - NYTimes.com Page 1 of 3 September 21, 2012 India’s Premier Pleads for Support of His Plans in Televised Address By JIM YARDLEY NEW DELHI — Prime Minister Manmohan Singh made a rare nationwide televised appeal on Friday night to defend a series of unpopular measures, intended to revive the floundering Indian economy, that have stirred mass protests across the country and almost toppled his coalition government. Mr. Singh’s speech came on a day of intense political jockeying, as the governing coalition lost the support of a crucial regional ally yet managed to stay in power, for the moment, by securing support from two other nonaligned regional parties. “The time has come for hard decisions,” Mr. Singh said, in an apparently prerecorded address that was broadcast across the country in prime time. “For this I need your trust, your understanding and your cooperation.” The political storm erupted last week after Mr. Singh’s government announced a series of economic moves, including an increase in the price of diesel fuel, a cap on the subsidy for cooking gas and measures that would allow for greater foreign investment in civil aviation and retail, opening the door for big, multibrand retailers like Walmart. Business leaders and many economists praised the moves as critical for containing India’s fiscal deficit and attracting foreign investment, but rival political leaders pounced, as did some political allies of the government, saying the measures threatened the livelihoods of small shop owners and common people. Thousands demonstrated on Thursday in several Indian cities in coordinated protests organized by several parties.
