At the same time, it is based on thorough research with scholarly inputs. Being issue-oriented, the Report captures both macro and micro aspects, especially the institutional aspects of development and human welfare. While being highly analytical, drawing on theory, the Report has no ideological biases and one should be delighted to note the India-centric nature of the policy prescriptions.
This Report is special in the sense that it lays significant emphasis on welfare and the social sector. I have no hesitation in strongly recommending this Report to students and scholars alike and to the policy makers and analysts as well.
