NeGP: Much ground covered, much remains to be covered
R. Swaminathan
18 June 2013
The National electronic Governance Plan (NeGP) has more or less got all the right ingredients. It just needs to be mixed in the right proportions.
 
Citizens paying for private sector inefficiency
Geethanjali Natraj and Rohit Sinha
17 June 2013
Privatised electricity distribution in Delhi completed ten years last June. Now an important question which we have to ask time and again is, why should the citizens pay for the inefficiency of the distribution companies? This is yet another public service that has become a score point for political parties, giving no relief to the ordinary citizen.
 
Time for hard questions on Sino-Indian relationship's future
Samir Saran and Abhijit Iyer-Mitra
21 May 2013
India and China must bilaterally develop a substantial conversation on the cutting edge of global governance issues, including issues of the global commons like climate change, water, health and medicine, and Asian security architecture, as well as issues of space and proliferation, of rules and mechanisms of economic governance, and on new arenas of maritime and ocean governance.
 
Li's India visit: The die has already been cast
Abhijit Iyer Mitra
21 May 2013
Can China be meaningfully engaged on issues like the border or the boundary? The answer is a resounding 'no'. The Chinese leadership structure is in flux. All the meaningful rapprochements and border resolutions were carried out either in the Mao or the Deng era. Since then, China's leaders have been too weak and fearful of internal coups to move forward in a meaningful way.
 
TV media as the new mom and dad
Maansi Parpiani
14 May 2013
It was not a big surprise that the Bill that came into force as the 'The Criminal Law (Amendment) Act 2013' on April 3 retained the age of consent at 18, taking away from the teenagers the right to make their sexual choices; a right that they had actually possessed for the last three decades.
 
Even after 20 years, Decentralisation still remains a challenge
Niranjan Sahoo
04 May 2013
Mere constitutional creation of new political space would not become the answer to the growing demands for inclusion and participation in the countryside. For substantive democracy to become a reality, Centre and States need to show willingness to share powers (3Fs).
 
Bhullar case verdict and after
N Sathiya Moorthy
26 April 2013
In the 'Bhullar case', the Supreme Court could now be construed to have applied the 'reasonable restriction' theory in the larger application of Article 14 of the Constitution, promising 'equality before law and the equal protection of the laws'.
 
A blueprint to evaluate digital governance
R. Swaminathan
18 April 2013
Sooner than later, India will have to start evaluating its e-governance projects. And in the near future, the focus will shift to the outcomes of e-governance initiatives.
 
India's Demographic Dividend: Where are the jobs?
Rohit Sinha
11 April 2013
With the labour force participation rate expected to rise significantly in the coming years in India, it is imperative that the government formulates a common policy on business development and regulation. India's high economic growth story cannot be taken for granted.
 
Re-visiting neighbourhood policy
N Sathiya Moorthy
10 April 2013
For India to be taken seriously by its neighbours, and other friends and adversaries alike, it has to be clear in its mind as to what it is and where it is headed, and where it wants to go - and can actually travel to.
