Reimagining governance

Image
💥Getting the Centre, States and district administrations to work in tandem is crucial The 115 Aspirational Districts Programme (ADP) conceived by Prime Minister Narendra Modi is radical not because this is the first time that a government in India has focussed on India’s most backward districts but because the exercise envisages a serious re-imagination of government and governance, and deepens cooperative federalism. The programme is informed by the failures of the past and therefore has a more contemporary vision of how public services are best delivered to those who need them most. 👉Aspirational districts The 115 districts were chosen by senior officials of the Union government in consultation with State officials on the basis of a composite index of the following: deprivation enumerated under the Socio-Economic Caste Census, key health and education performance indicators and the state of basic infrastructure. A minimum of one district was chosen from every St...

Cautionary notes for Wuhan

👉Ahead of the Modi-Xi meeting, a look at the mixed record of grand summitry👈 As a vantage point in Nepal, Mount Everest is an important symbol for India and China. What is not well known is the mountain’s contribution to the term “summit” to describe meetings between world leaders seeking to resolve monumental issues between them. It was in the 1950s that former U.K. Prime Minister Winston Churchill used the term, calling for a “summit of nations” to deal with the Cold War, even as an attempt to scale Mount Everest, which had captured the headlines, was under way. Churchill’s coinage of the term as well as his recommendation became a part of history when U.S. President John F. Kennedy met Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev for direct talks. History shows, the success of such grand summitry is mixed. As Prime Minister Narendra Modi prepares for his “informal summit” with Chinese President Xi Jinping at Wuhan in China later this week, it would be instructive to look at the r...

Conclave of southern States

Image
👉Why regional parties are joining hands on an organised platform👈 While recent months have seen calls for the creation of a “Dravida Nadu” and angry statements by south Indian leaders about how New Delhi is ignoring their interests, it was the south Indian Finance Ministers’ conclave, held in Thiruvananthapuram in early April, which marked a formal expression of southern solidarity. While there were representatives from Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Puducherry, there were no representatives from Tamil Nadu and Telangana at the meeting. A bone of contention between southern leaders and the Central government has been the use of the 2011 Census, as opposed to the 1971 Census, as the base year for determining revenue distribution. These leaders feel that they have managed to control their population growth and are being penalised for their success. During the conclave, there was a clear consensus that this provision of the 15th Finance Commission was unfair towards...

A new beginning with Nepal

💥Pragmatism has finally taken root in Delhi and Kathmandu — project implementation will be the test It is a long-standing tradition that Nepali Prime Ministers make Delhi the first foreign port of call after taking over. The only exception was Maoist leader Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ in 2008 who visited China first and found his tenure cut short months later when his coalition collapsed, forcing him to resign and adding a touch of superstition to the tradition. Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli maintained the tradition during his state visit to India last week. Perhaps not on account of superstition but because as a pragmatic politician, he knows which controversies are best avoided. His earlier nine-month tenure as PM in 2015-16 had seen relations with India hit a new low, and it made eminent sense to begin his second term on a positive note. From all accounts, the visit went well but it will take pragmatism and patient nurturing on both sides to restore the trust and confidence...
