Item description from seller

Contents: Introduction. 1. Pro-Poor Growth: MGNREGA and Poverty Reduction in India. 2. Economic Growth Matters But So Does Pro-Poor Growth Agenda of Donors. 3. Development Takeaways: Maximising Gains from International Finance. 4. India’s Tryst with GST: An Unparalleled PFM Reform. 5. Government as a Development Actor: GeM and Inclusive Business for Indian MSEs. 6. Mutually Inclusive Role of Government and Market in Economic Development: Learnings from Green Revolution in India. 7. India–Iran Development Cooperation: Opportunities and Challenges of Chabahar Port Project. 8. How India’s Self-Interests Guide its Aid Policy in Furthering South–South Cooperation Conclusion. Bibliography. Index. Development thinkers and practitioners remain divided over the debate of ‘developing’ versus ‘developed’; and whether there is a time frame or prescription for a developing country to become developed. The cycle of development seems never ending for developing countries. To join the developed club, developing economies must not only grow, but grow faster than their developed counterparts. What the Western economies achieved in over 200 years post industrialisation in terms of development, the developing economies are expected to achieve in a few decades. Since independence, India has embarked on a journey of ever-evolving composite policy interventions in its quest to become a developed nation. 'Indian model of development' has attempted to address multidimensional development aspirations, based on holistic and sustainable human, social, moral and economic aspects. Development: Experiences, Insights and Introspection by Vipin Sharma offers a direct view into some development experiences and insights, mainly India-centric, with a focus on economic aspects. The themes covered in this book range from pro-poor growth, international finance, public financial management, government as a development actor and market failure, to development cooperation and aid policy. While doing so, the book introspects the development process through different lenses – historical, social, economic, political, financial and administrative. Dr. Sharma’s unique narrative of attempting to find some missing links between development theory and practice stems from his experience as a development administrator and practitioner in the Indian Administrative Service. His insights into the development puzzle makes this book an enthralling read for development academicians and practitioners alike. The book also reflects on the ongoing and vigorous debate, involving critique and contestation over development knowledge, meanings and practices. …

This included around a million teachers, 23 million students and 1,08,000 schools, with a State plan budget of approximately Rs. 51,000 crore in 2017–2018 (∼ USD 8 billion). As Director General, Maharashtra Energy Development Agency, he was responsible for achieving the renewable energy target of Maharashtra and last mile non-conventional electrification of rural Maharashtra.

Presently, he is working as the Civic Chief of Thane City, a bustling neighbourhood of Mumbai, where he has been successfully contributing to Covid management and mitigation since June 2020.
