Indian National Congress: Compendium of Statements, Letters and Resolutions on COVID-19 (March 2020 - June 2021)…………………………………… A1 Executive Summary The mismanagement of the COVID-19 pandemic has been independent India’s gravest governance failure. The Union government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi did not take adequate measures to prevent and contain the pandemic. Therefore, there is a Need for a White Paper (Chapter-1) that examines the government’s acts of omission and commission, its impact on India and suggests constructive measures to improve policy responses to the current and future waves of the pandemic. The Modi government’s handling of the COVID-19 crisis began with its Early Inaction in January 2020 (detailed in Chapter-2). The government ignored early warnings from experts and political leaders from the Opposition. It failed to learn from the lessons and response models of other countries which had been hit by the pandemic. It did not scale up nationwide the lessons from Kerala’s experience in successfully suppressing a virus outbreak (the Nipah virus).

  • Private Sector and Babus - Contributors in India's Economic Development 12 February – 10 March 2021
    Occasional News Wrap - #05/March 2021 Private Sector and Babus - Contributors in India's Economic Development 12 February – 10 March 2021 On February 10, during the parliament session, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s remark on the relevance of private sector in India’s development has triggered a debate around its role and conduct. He emphasised its vital role in wealth creation, a pre-condition for the redistribution measures undertaken by any nation-state. Simultaneously, he also voiced his opinion for limiting the role of bureaucracy in India’s development as per its strengths and capabilities. He asserted “Sab kuch babu hi karenge?” This Occasional News Wrap contains views on the role of private sector and bureaucracy in India’s development while highlighting the points of divergence and convergence between the two.
