Download or read book Federal Transfers and Inter state Disparities in India written by Janak Raj Gupta and published by Atlantic Publishers & Dist. This book was released on 2005 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Very Few States In India, Even After More Than Five Decades Of Planning For Development, Can Hardly Claim To Have Achieved The Path Of Self-Sustained Development. Inter-State Disparities Have Persisted In Spite Of Large Constitutionally Provided Statutory Transfers Through The Finance Commission And Non-Statutory Transfers Through The Planning Commission, Central Ministries And Financial Institutions. The Fiscal Disadvantaged States Have Lagged Behind So Much So That These Are Now Termed As Bimaru States Instead Of Backward States. But No One Has Ever Gone To The Genesis Of The Problem. Today There Is Even A Lurking Voice From The Developed States That The Issue Of Equity Should Be Bidden A Farewell And Instead They Should Be Rewarded For Their Better Fiscal Management. An Important Issue Before The Twelfth Finance Commission, Headed By Dr. C. Rangarajan, Is How To Weigh Equity Vs. Efficiency.In The Present Study The Development Of A State Does Not Represent Simply Its Per Capita Income. It Rather Refers To A Comprehensive Index Of Development Prepared By Simulating 18 Indicators Of Development. Then How Much Additional Public Expenditure Is Required For A State To Cross The Below Average Status Is Another Area Of Concern Of The Present Study. This Has Been Juxtaposed With Relative Fiscal Capacity Of The States To Finance The Required Level Of Public Expenditure. Therefore, The Study Is Useful For Instituting Special Fund For The Development Of States. Then How Has The Transfer Of Resources From The Finance Commission, Planning Commission And The Central Ministries Made Any Dent On The Inter-State Disparities? How Far Are The Different Criteria Adopted By The Finance Commission Responsible For The Unabated Growth Of Inter-State Disparities? Another Area Of Concern Of The Present Study Is The Transfer Of Financial Resources To Different States From The Non-Budgetary Sources Like Banks And The Other Financial Institutions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To understand how politics, the economy, and public policy function in the world’s largest democracy, an appreciation of federalism is essential. Bringing to surface the complex dimensions that affect relations between India’s central government and states, this short introduction is the one-stop account to federalism in India. Paying attention to the constitutional, political, and economic factors that shape Centre–state relations, this book stimulates understanding of some of the big dilemmas facing India today. The ability of India’s central government to set the economic agenda or secure implementation of national policies throughout the country depends on the institutions and practices of federalism. Similarly, the ability of India’s states to contribute to national policy making or to define their own policy agendas that speak to local priorities all hinge on questions of federalism. Organised in four chapters, this book introduces readers to one of the key living features of Indian democracy.

Book excerpt: This book discusses various dimensions of Indian fiscal federalism, focusing on the current fiscal imbalances – both vertical and horizontal – and their correction. Throwing light on different angles of this subject, it presents well-researched papers, which are divided into three sections. The first section, ‘Fiscal federalism and resolving the fiscal imbalances’, includes five chapters that discuss this theme and also explain the various strategies to remove the existing imbalances in India. ‘Fiscal decentralization for high growth’ which is the second section, explains how decentralisation leads to high economic growth and showcases empirical evidence from a few Indian states that are flourishing due to this policy. The third section, ‘Emerging issues’ offers six chapters describing several existing key concerns in fiscal federalism that have a major impact on achieving India’s development goals. Including contributions from leading academics in this field, the book will be of great interest to research scholars and policy makers alike. “Besides addressing the core issue of fiscal imbalances and ways to correct them, the [chapters] touch on several issues confronting the Indian fiscal system at the centre , state and local levels. The [chapters] are well researched and well argued. The book is a valuable addition to the literature on Fiscal Federalism.” – Dr. C.

Download or read book Education and Development in India written by Jandhyala B.G. Tilak and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-09-15 with total page 672 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on empirical, interdisciplinary research, this book presents a critical review of some of the major issues that are of interest to researchers, policymakers and planners in developing as well as advanced countries, including specifically in India. It provides an in-depth review of some of the major development policy issues in education in general, and in India in particular, over the past 2-3 decades. Besides presenting an overview of the educational developments in India that reflects issues such as growth, equity, efficiency, foreign aid, decentralization, center-state relations, financing, and cost recovery, the book puts forward in-depth analyses of education poverty, interrelations between education and poverty, low level of outcomes in elementary education, effects of structural adjustment policies and approaches on education, south-south cooperation, etc. It also critically discusses changes in policies relating to financing higher education, external assistance for education, and how the growth of private higher education is affecting society at large. The dichotomy between public policy and action is also highlighted in many chapters. On the whole, while the importance of education is being increasingly recognized, the state does not seem to be as willing to foot the bill for education as the households and even the private sector. Occasionally contrasting with international evidence on, for example, financing higher education, private higher education, or the effects of neo-liberal policies, the book offers an interesting read for a wider audience.

Download or read book Public Expenditure and Indian Development Policy 1960 1970 written by J. F. J. Toye and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 1981 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of the many different ways in which economists have tried to analyse public expenditure, the most relevant to Indian economic development is that which links the level of public expenditure with the rate at which the state can accumulate capital. The abstract theory of this link, however, must be complemented by a historical account of the degree to which a state accumulation policy was understood by Indian policy makers, and of the other (often inconsistent) elements in the economic strategy of Indian nationalism. After attempting to provide accounts both of the abstract theory and of the institutional and policy context within which it was applied, this book analyses original empirical data on public expenditure in India between 1960 and 1970. The real growth rate of public expenditure, its functional and economic composition at the all-India level are presented, and the strong contrast between the patterns of the first and last five year periods is elucidated. The effect of the 1965-67 droughts and bad harvests in producing this contrast is assessed.

Download or read book Understanding Contemporary Indian Federalism written by Chanchal Kumar Sharma and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume analyzes centre-state dynamics in India placed against the backdrop of the election of a Narendra Modi-led Bharatiya Janata (BJP) government to central power in 2014. It reflects on how centre-state relations have been shaped by the legacy of nearly two decades of broad-based coalition government at the centre and the concurrent and ongoing liberalization of the Indian economy. To this purpose, the volume engages with several relevant questions linked to the political economy of Indian federalism and its ability to manage ethno-linguistic difference. Did liberalization strengthen the economic or political autonomy of the Indian states? What impact did party system change have on the capacity of parties in central government to influence the actions of state governments? How did party system change and liberalization influence the fiscal and financial autonomy of the states and the capacity of the centre in planning and social development? Did both processes strengthen the autonomy of Chief Ministers in foreign policy-making? What are the strengths and weaknesses of Indian federalism in ethno-linguistic conflict management and what do the recent split of Andhra Pradesh or the proposed formation of Bodoland tell us about the dynamics underpinning the management of ethno-linguistic difference in contemporary India? The chapters originally published as a special issue of India Review.
