Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As education and health are two major areas of concern in the context of social sector development and human development achievements, this book explores their situation in India. The liberalisation of the Indian economy had a major impact on the growth rate of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP), with the economic growth of the country jumping from the so-called Hindu growth rate of 3.5% to 8–9% per annum. The literacy rate increased to 74.04% in 2011 from 12% in 1947, while the universalization of elementary education has been achieved to a great extent, and dropout rates have decreased. However, despite considerable progress, exclusions and wide disparities still exist. Combining access with affordability and ensuring quality with good governance and adequate finance are still of great concern. On the health front, significant achievements have also been made, with a number of diseases eradicated or on the verge of elimination. There has been a substantial drop in the Total Fertility Rate (TFR) and Infant Mortality Rate (IMR), and life expectancy has increased from 36.7 years in 1951 to 67.14 in 2011. The crude birth rate has been reduced from 40.8 in 1951 to 20.6 in 2012, and the crude death rate from 25.1 to 7.43 in the same period. These achievements are impressive, but at the same time our failures appear even more glaring. As such, this volume brings together contributions from eminent Indian scholars on a range of social issues, including linkages between growth, poverty and the social sector; the efficiency of social sector spending in India; disparity in health statuses; IPR protection in health innovations; pollution and health; the universalisation of elementary education; problems faced at the higher levels of education; and issues of child labour.

Book excerpt: From UNDP s Human Development Index to the more recent Multidimensional Poverty Index, there have been conceptualizations and frameworks towards understanding social development. However, there have not been consistent efforts by governments, multilateral agencies, NGOs and disciplinary leaders in the academia towards contextualising the different concepts and frameworks for addressing social development. This book attempts to aggregate the various strands of discourse relating to social sector development in India from the academic and practitioners world. Social sector issues are not limited to health, education and housing, but encompass concerns relating to agriculture, food security, rural development, gender and livelihoods. Within that broad canvass, the objective of this collection of papers is to assess the performance and analyse the challenges of social sector programmes, policies and remaining issues."
Download or read book Social Sector Development written by Dolly Arora and published by . This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social sector development is a complex and challenging issue, which necessitates an active discourse at multiple levels aimed at the fundamental definitional questions on the one hand and the choice of institutions, strategies and mechanisms towards the realization of accepted objectives on the other. Given the intensity of prevailing conflicts of interest and power structure, which define the very framework of action and inaction in society and polity this is not an easy task. Yet this is extremely important as crucial dimensions of social sector development in post-independence India are linked to these questions. The post-Independence Indian state has been grappling with social sector development issues through planning, policy making and institution building exercises. //In the context of the recent initiatives of the government to shift the focus from outlays to outcomes , a Round Table Conference was organized at IIPA to take a closer look at the meaning of this shift for social sector development. Engaging a large number of eminent scholars, practitioners and public persons, the Round Table deliberated upon the complex range of issues pertaining to the realm of governance and social justice. It examined questions of policy framework, issues in implementation and monitoring, as well as policy substance and alternative conceptualization and perspectives needed to ensure desired outcomes in social sectors, with particular reference to education, health and rural development. This book reports the proceedings of the Round Table.

Download or read book Social Sector in a Decentralized Economy written by Pinaki Chakraborty and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-03-11 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an analytical examination of financing and public service delivery challenges in a decentralized framework. It also provides critical insights into the effectiveness of public expenditure, through benefit incidence analysis of education and healthcare services in India. The benefits of decentralization always come with conflicts and trade-offs. By unpacking the process of decentralization, the authors identify that 'unfunded mandates', arising from the asymmetry between finances and functions at local levels, are a major challenge. The analysis is carried out by distilling the existing studies in this area, and through an empirical investigation of public finance data at different public sector levels in India, as well as in some selected developing countries. Using the household survey statistics of consumption expenditure, an analysis of utilization or benefit incidence of public spending on social sectors in India is achieved, covering education and health sectors. This title is available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
Download or read book India s Social Sector and Millennium Development Goals written by Anupam Hazra and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regarding India's Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), it is evident that the first six goals fall under the broad purview of social sector development, which puts concerted efforts towards: (Goal 1) poverty alleviation and hunger reduction * (Goal 2) universalization of primary education * (Goal 3) women empowerment * (Goal 4, 5, and 6) health sector development. Keeping in mind that less than three years remain to reach the MDG-deadline of 2015, this book views the recent dynamics of India's social sector through the 'MDG-lens' and focuses on the strategies adopted so far to address poverty, food security, primary education, women's empowerment, and primary health care. Exploring the emerging issues and challenges of the social sector, the book suggests some comprehensive measures which will be instrumental in future policy formulation to ensure a sustainable growth in the social sector and intensify the country's efforts towards its MDG-commitments.
