Annual Report 2019-2020 ANNUAL REPORT 2019-2020 INDIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION Indraprastha Estate, Ring Road, New Delhi iipa.org.in GANDHIJI’S TALISMAN I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt or when the “self becomes too much with you, apply the following test: Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen and ask yourself if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him. Will he gain anything by it? Will it restore him to a control over his own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to Swaraj for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melting away” Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi INDIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION INDRAPRASTHA ESTATE, RING ROAD, NEW DELHI-110002 66th ANNUAL REPORT 2019-2020 PRESENTED AT THE ANNUAL MEETING OF THE GENERAL BODY ON OCTOBER 31, 2020 Indian Institute of Public Administration (IIPA) was set up to build capacity among public servants through training and research with knowledge, skills and behaviour required for managing the tasks of governance at the Centre and state level. In its efforts to enhance the leadership, management and administrative capability of the executive in government and public sector enterprises, the Institute works in close collaboration with national and international organisations. The Institute’s training and research programmes link with its vast information management and experience- sharing activities. Building upon the vision of its founding fathers, the IIPA aims to be one of the world’s leading academic centres of thought and influence on public governance, policy making and implementation to enable governance systems to become more responsive to the needs and aspirations of citizens and be aligned to human values in a democratic society.

Estate, Ring Road, New Delhi-110002 iv Indian Institute of Public Administration FROM THE DIRECTOR In a way, 2019-20 had been somewhat a tragic year for IIPA as it lost its widely respected and beloved Chairman, Shri T.N. Chaturvedi on 5th January 2020. IIPA lost another of its stalwarts on 3rd January 2020, Dr. U. C. Agarwal, former CVC of India who had been a long time life member of IIPA as well as its former Director. Dr C Chandramouli, IAS, Secretary to Government of India, DoPT, Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, Government of India was elected as the interim Chairman of IIPA. The sad memories notwithstanding, the academic activities of the Institute intensified in 2019-20. While capacity building and study visit programmes became more diverse and wide ranging in coverage, applied research work especially in problematic areas of Governance, engaged faculty and officers alike at a reasonably pressured pace. Resource mobilisation was a proportionate success helping the Institute to further improve its Annual Accounts. At the end of the financial year (in March 2020), the activities of IIPA slowed down considerably due to the worldwide COVID – 19 pandemic. In capacity building, the Institute got into the Government’s flagship schemes in a big way. Public Policy and Governance for the lateral entrants in the position of Joint Secretaries to Government of India, senior executives of forest officers and civil engineers; Leadership and Team-building Soft Skills for Public Sector Executives; Urban Governance and Implementation of Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) related schemes; Administrative Law for senior engineers; e-governance Training of Trainers, customised modules on Change Management and Government Process Re-engineering within the Digital India frame; Gender Sensitivity; Smart-Cities; Climate Change; Consumer Protection and New Public Management specially for scientists—all these training programmes provided the faculty with new learning and teaching opportunities. The Institute has started conducting Management Development Programme for the Judges and other Judicial Officers of Uttar Pradesh. IIPA successfully conducted Mid-Career Training Programme of Indian Revenue Service (Customs and Indirect Taxes) and International training of Probationers of Indian Revenue Services in Europe. International participants are trained from Tunisia, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Ethiopia, Bangladesh, Russia, Nepal, Myanmar, and various other African, Latin American and Middle Eastern Countries under Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation (ITEC) programme of the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA). In all, IIPA conducted 145 skill development programmes, seminars, workshops, etc. in 2019-20. About 7,191 officers including foreign trainees attended and, the Institute earned about Rs.20.79 crore from training activities alone. IIPA’s Applied Research wing gained a qualitative upswing with specific governance areas of concern. Projects to evaluate and recommend improvements of Minority welfare schemes that threw up inter-Ministerial coordination problems; evaluation of schemes of Ministry of Home Affairs, Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Ministry of Minority Affairs, Department of Posts, Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, Ministry of Tribal Affairs; assessing the measures to augment the resources of the PRIs, restructuring of Ministry of Home Affairs, Impact Assessment of National Knowledge Network (NKN), Impact Assessment of Multi- Sectoral Development Plans, evaluation of the Khelo India Programme, evaluation of the the Tribal Cooperative Marketing Development Federation of India (TRIFED) schemes and studying and recommending systemic improvements in the Consumer Welfare sectors; researching into Annual Report v regional imbalance in the recruitment process of posts in the Government of India, evaluation of Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana (PMSSY), Capacity Building Strategies for Managing Complex Disasters in the face of Climate Change. On the Urban front, IIPA carried out studies on energy efficiency of eco-cities, city-level studies to assess urban governance issues, processes, innovation and manpower requirement of NDMC. The benefits of decentralised- participative operations were proved in these studies leading to improved efficiency, outreach and higher revenue accretion. The National Consumer Helpline at IIPA expanded its consumer grievance monitoring services by integrating with the Digital India initiative. Our faculty carried out 66 research studies for various Central Ministries and state governments, from which IIPA grossed about Rs.4.64 crores. Indian Institute of Public Administration (IIPA) has been entrusted with the task of strengthening training and active research in various aspects of tribal welfare, by Ministry of Tribal Affairs (MoTA), Government of India. For this purpose, a Centre of Excellence has been established at IIPA and is named as the Centre of Tribal Research and Exploration (COTREX). Since its inception, it has been the consistent endeavour of the COTREX to work on the given theme, i.e. ‘Tribal Research and Exploration’ focusing on the issues concerning exclusion, inclusion, marginalistion, etc. of the tribal communities. This Centre of Excellence of Ministry of Tribal Affairs has a special significance being at an Institute – a premier National Institute of Public Governance, which has a key role in providing inputs for policy formulation and governance besides sensitising the Administration. IIPA is also in the process of implementing a project “Climate Smart Governance” sponsored by Department of Science and Technology, Government of India. The main objective of this project is to target selected stakeholders and to sensitise them on climate change issues, adaptation needs and options. A blended capacity building programme on “Climate Smart Governance” was also conducted for middle-level officers. A number of eminent speakers were invited

  • India's Nuclear Odyssey
    India’s Nuclear Odyssey India’s Nuclear Andrew B. Kennedy Odyssey Implicit Umbrellas, Diplomatic Disappointments, and the Bomb India’s search for secu- rity in the nuclear age is a complex story, rivaling Odysseus’s fabled journey in its myriad misadventures and breakthroughs. Little wonder, then, that it has received so much scholarly attention. In the 1970s and 1980s, scholars focused on the development of India’s nuclear “option” and asked whether New Delhi would ever seek to exercise it.1 After 1990, attention turned to India’s emerg- ing, but still hidden, nuclear arsenal.2 Since 1998, India’s decision to become an overt nuclear power has ushered in a new wave of scholarship on India’s nu- clear history and its dramatic breakthrough.3 In addition, scholars now ask whether India’s and Pakistan’s acquisition of nuclear weapons has stabilized or destabilized South Asia.4 Despite all the attention, it remains difªcult to explain why India merely Andrew B. Kennedy is Lecturer in Policy and Governance at the Crawford School of Economics and Gov- ernment at the Australian National University. He is the author of The International Ambitions of Mao and Nehru: National Efªcacy Beliefs and the Making of Foreign Policy, which is forthcoming from Cambridge University Press. The author gratefully acknowledges comments and criticism on earlier versions of this article from Sumit Ganguly, Alexander Liebman, Tanvi Madan, Vipin Narang, Srinath Raghavan, and the anonymous reviewers for International Security. He also wishes to thank all of the Indian ofªcials who agreed to be interviewed for this article.

    Title Daily Current Affairs Capsule th Title 27 January 2021 International Day of Commemoration in memory of the victims of the Holocaust: 27 January International Day of Commemoration in memory of the victims of the Holocaust (International Holocaust Remembrance Day) is observed on 27 January every year. The day commemorates the anniversary of the tragedy of the Holocaust that occurred during the Second World War. A genocide occurred during World War II in which Nazi Germany, aided by its collaborators, systematically murdered some six million European Jews, around two-thirds of the Jewish population of Europe, between 1941 and 1945. The theme of the International Holocaust Remembrance Day 2021 is “Facing the Aftermath: Recovery and Reconstitution after the Holocaust” Italian PM Conte resigns Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte resigned after losing his Senate majority, plunging the country into political uncertainty just as it’s battling the pandemic and a recession. He tendered his resignation to President Sergio Mattarella, the ultimate arbiter of Italian political crises, who invited him to stay on in a caretaker capacity pending discussions on what happens next. Italy was the first European country to face the full force of the Covid-19 pandemic and has since suffered badly, with the economy plunged into recession and deaths still rising by around 400 a day. Parts of the country remain under partial lockdown, the vaccination programme has slowed and a deadline is looming to agree plans to spend billions of euros in European Union recovery funds.

  • EPRS, India's Armed Forces
    At a glance November 2015 India's armed forces – An overview India has the world's third-largest armed forces in terms of personnel numbers. However, although India was also the seventh-biggest spender on military equipment in 2014, the country has a problem of deficiency in equipment. India's defence procurement is still dominated by imports, as the domestic industry is handicapped by inefficiency. New Delhi is thus the world's largest importer of military equipment. Attempts in the past to reform the national security system have also failed. Attempts to reform India's armed forces and security policy The Commander-in-Chief of India's armed forces is President Pranab Mukherjee. India lacks a Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) and this, along with the lack of a National Security Strategy, has been pointed out as one of the shortcomings in the country's security. The creation of a CDS is a much-delayed reform, recommended by the Group of Ministers (GOM) report on 'Reforming the National Security System' back in February 2001. A consultation process for the creation of this post is taking place but may meet internal resistance, while analysts argue that politicians have shown little interest on the issue. A Chief of Integrated Defence Staff post has been created following the GOM report; however the holder has no voting power in the frame of the Chiefs of Staff Committee which gathers together the chiefs of the three branches of the Armed Forces (Chief of the Army Staff, Chief of the Naval Staff, Chief of the Air Staff) and advises the Minister of Defence.

  • Draft Report of the PAC on 2G and 3G Spectrum Allocation
    REPORT PART – I CHAPTER - I BACKGROUND 1.1 In recent times, India has emerged as one of the most dynamic and promising and fastest growing telecom markets in the world. It has third largest overall telecom network and the second largest wireless network in the world. Mobile telephony and thus Spectrum have played a vital role in the stupendous growth of the telecom services in India. The word ‘Spectrum’ basically refers to a collection of various types of electromagnetic radiations of different wavelengths. Radio frequency Spectrum is a limited global natural resource with a high economic value, due to its heavy demand in the telecommunication sector. It is a finite but non-consumable natural resource. But it will be wasted if not used efficiently. In India, the radio frequencies are being used for around forty different types of services like space communication, mobile communication, broadcasting, radio navigation, mobile satellite service, aeronautical satellite services, defence communication etc. 1.2 Some of the important and typical characteristics of the radio frequency Spectrum are as below: (i) Radio frequency spectrum does not respect international geographical boundaries as it is spread over a large terrestrial area. (ii) Use of radio frequency spectrum is susceptible to overlapping interference and requires the application of complex engineering tools to ensure interference free operation of various wireless networks. (iii) Unlike other natural resources, radio frequency spectrum is not consumed upon its usage. It is also liable to be wasted if it is not used optimally and efficiently. Radio frequency spectrum usage is, therefore, to be shared amongst the various radio services and must be used efficiently, optimally and economically in conformity with the provisions of national and international laws.
