  • Trends and Issues in Tax Policy and Reform in India
    M. GOVINDA RAO National Institute of Public Finance and Policy R. KAVITA RAO National Institute of Public Finance and Policy Trends and Issues in Tax Policy and Reform in India ax systems the world over have undergone significant changes during Tthe last twenty years as many countries across the ideological spectrum and with varying levels of development have undertaken reforms. The wave of tax reforms that began in the mid-1980s and accelerated in the 1990s was motivated by a number of factors. In many developing countries, pressing fiscal imbalance was the driving force. Tax policy was employed as a principal instrument to correct severe budgetary pressures.1 In others, the transition from a planned economy to a market economy necessitated wide- ranging tax reforms. Besides efficiency considerations, these tax reforms had to address the issues of replacing public enterprise profits with taxes as a principal source of revenue and of aligning tax policy to change in the development strategy. Another motivation was the internationalization of economic activities arising from increasing globalization. On the one hand, globalization entailed significant reduction in tariffs, and replacements had to be found for this important and relatively easily administered revenue source. On the other, globalization emphasized the need to minimize both efficiency and compliance costs of the tax system. The supply-side tax reforms of the Thatcher-Reagan era also had their impact on the tax reforms in developing countries. The evolution of the Indian tax system was driven by similar concerns and yet, in some ways, it is different and even unique. Unlike most develop- ing countries, which were guided in their tax reforms by multilateral agencies The authors are grateful to Shankar N.

  • The Economics of Type 2 Diabetes in Middle-Income Countries
    The Economics of Type 2 Diabetes in Middle-Income Countries Till Seuring Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) University of East Anglia, UK Norwich Medical School March 2017 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. Abstract This thesis researches the economics of type 2 diabetes in middle-income coun- tries (MICs). Given the high prevalence of type 2 diabetes in MICs, in-depth country specific analysis is key for understanding the economic consequences of type 2 diabetes. The thesis consists of four studies with the unifying theme of improving the understanding of the causal impact of diabetes on economic out- comes. Study (1) provides an updated overview, critically assesses and identifies gaps in the current literature on the economic costs of type 2 diabetes using a systematic review approach; study (2) investigates the effects of self-reported diabetes on employment probabilities in Mexico, using cross-sectional data and making use of a commonly used instrumental variable approach; study (3) re- visits and extends these results via the use of a fixed effects panel data analy- sis, also considering a broader range of outcomes, including wages and working hours. Further, it makes use of cross-sectional biomarker data that allow for the investigation of undiagnosed diabetes. Study (4) researches the effect of a dia- betes diagnosis on employment as well as behavioural risk factors in China, using longitudinal data and applying an alternative identification strategy, marginal structural models estimation, while comparing these results with fixed effects es- timation results.

  • Bhagavata Mela Dance-Drama of Bharata Natya
    BHAGAVATA MELA DANCE-DRAMA OF BHARATA NATYA E. Krishna Iyer The classical dance-drama of the Bhagavata Mela tradition which is struggling for survival in the Tanjore District is a rare art of great value. Its revival will not only add one more rich variety to our existing dance arts but also help to clear away many prevailing misconceptions about Bharata Natya, by proving, that it is not confined to, or exhausted by, the solo Sadir-Natya of women and that it has a dramatic form too with many male and female characters expounding great Puranic themes and rasas other than Sringara as well. In short it will be found as an exemplifica­ tion of the 2000-year old conception of Natya as dance-drama according to the Natyasastra. Incidentally it may also prove the art to be a source of rich material to help the creation or evolution' of new forms of dance­ drama and ballet. Bharata Natya, properly understood, is a vast, comprehensive and generic system of classical dance in India, the principles and technique of which are closely applied to three chief forms among others namely; (1)the lyrical solo Sadir nautch, (2) the heavy Bhagavata Me/a dance-drama and (3) the light Kuravanji ballet. Of these, only the first has become widely popular and is called by the generic name itself. Early Origins The Bhagavata Mela Dance-Drama tradition seems to have been in vogue in this country from the 1lth century A.D. ifnot earlier. It is known to have come into prominence in South India from the time of Thirtha­ narayana Yogi, the author of Krishna Lee/a Tharangini who migrated from Andhra Desa, lived 'and died at Varahur in the Tanjore District about The late 'Shri E.

This study explores the experiences of returnee Nepali migrants with regard to accessing healthcare and the perspectives of stakeholders in the government, support organizations, and health providers working with migrant workers in India. Methods: Six focus group discussions (FGDs) and 12 in-depth interviews with returnee migrants were conducted by trained moderators in six districts in Western Nepal in late 2017.
