Former Chief Secretary, Government of Odisha, said, "When it comes to policy making and implementing government schemes and projects, there cannot be one cookie-cutter model that fits all in a country like India which has such diverse states, both geographically and culturally.

Therefore, rolling out pilot projects goes a long way as the situation on the ground always differs from ideal cases."Amarjeet Sinha (IAS Retd), Former Advisor to the Prime Minister shared his experiences in policy design and issues that he faced in implementing policies on the ground. Highlighting the financial constraints that hinder the process when policies are being formulated, he discussed the entire policy process, sharing his own experiences of various schemes that he pioneered such as the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyaan, PM Awas Yojana, and many other projects.Srinivas Katikithala (IAS), Director, Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration (LBSNAA), threw light on the issue of effective implementation of policies and the importance of the capacity building.

He emphasised the significance of planning while formulating a policy and identifying the soft spots where the approach can make a difference. He talked about Mission Karmayogi and the capacity-building ecosystem at LBSNAA, and the transformational steps being taken undertaken in recent times.The event aims to provide a unique platform to discuss multiple public policy innovations, issues, and challenges and facilitate collaborations and interactions between policy researchers and practitioners.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
