Alok Prasanna Kumar 30/07/18

India : Why This Attack on MGNREGA ?
06/11/14
One knows who will suffer if the Narendra Modi government succeeds in weakening MGNREGA. The largest public employment programme the world has ever seen is in trouble. In 2013-14, 74 million individuals in 48 million households in rural India (...)
Anger, Aspiration, Apprehension
20/05/14
Narendra Modi has won a massive victory but his ascendance does not portend positive change. In the months leading up to Elections 2014, the media, in its anxiety to project Narendra Modi as the next prime minister, frequently described the (...)
India : Reviving Land Reforms ?
Harsh Mander 29/08/13
The government has notified a Draft Land Reforms Policy which, on paper, has all the requisites of an earnest programme. Yet, the near total failure of earlier efforts at land reforms in India leave little room for hope that something (...)
India : Right to Food and Foodgrain Policy
Kirit S Parikh 12/03/13
Identification of the poor and the scale of operation are the most critical challenges of the proposed legislation on the right to food. This article suggests universal entitlement that excludes clearly identifiable rich. Food coupons could (...)
