| Popis: | Globally, India is often perceived as an emerging global economic power because of the strong economic growth that the country has achieved for a sustained period during the early twenty-first century, including the global financial crisis period in the late 2000s. The recent slowing down of the economy has not changed that perception significantly. While the growth rate of the gross domestic product (GDP) might justify the tag of an emerging economic power, we cannot escape the fact that India faces several challenges, both in the economic and the social sectors. Various reports published by the government, academic institutions, non-governmental organizations, and multilateral funding agencies, such as the World Bank, highlight many of these challenges, for example, the slow pace of economic reforms, poverty, inequality, dismal educational performance, and poor indicators of health, and prescribe policy solutions. In this colloquium, we focus on a few specific issues that require serious attention of the government and the public but are relatively less discussed in public discourse and policy debates: banking sector reforms, road safety, sanitation reform, and ethics in the medical profession. |
