The fundamental premise of Resurgent India: Ideas and Priorities is that India needs a long-term strategic vision that will provide a comprehensive and consistent framework for short-term sector-specific policies. The vision, it is asserted, should shift the focus of policy-making from poverty allevia-tion to achieving prosperity for all Indians.
This will necessarily include all those at the bottom of the pyramid, women and children. Care is taken to ensure that the vision, as articulated in the volume, is rooted in Indian traditions and ground realities. The volume brings together, in a pithy and succinct manner, suggestions received from literally thousands of concerned Indians, on how to make India one of the top ranking economies in the world by 2050, the centenary year of the Indian Republic. The volume thus distils the collective wisdom and presents it in a form easily understood by both the common reader and policymakers.
Based on their own vast collective experience, suggestions received from political activists and combined with painstaking quantitative work, the authors make bold recommendations for almost the entire range of thematic and sector issues confronting India today.
These recommendations are sketched out in 22 chapters, each of which, provides a good idea of major challenges faced by the country and suggests policy measures for addressing them.
