Question Q.18GS2GS2

The various developmental initiatives by the government have fallen short of achieving their intended objectives. Is it a design issue or an implementation bottleneck? Suggest measures to improve the effectiveness of developmental schemes.

Main Body

Development related initiatives and polices are tools operated by government to fulfill its constitutional obligations and also to sustain the idea of welfare state governance. Governance → policy → Development initiatives → Infra → National development → Sagaramati, National Logistics schematic → Local development → (with Bharat Abhiyan, Stigma Bharat Adhayan Mandates) Deficit Issues with developmental Initiatives: 1. Following Top-down approach in policy planning, eg., Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan.

2All stakeholders are not consulted; this leads to skewed designing of initiatives remaining in poor implementation. 3) Lack of impact analysis mechanism. 4) Design of schemes is based on 'one size fits all' approach. Implementational challenges with development Initiatives: - Lack of any special purpose vehicle SPV for implementation of scheme - Poor capacity building of Resources for scheme implementation - More experiment approach rather than accomodative approach.

Measures to improve these Bottlenecks: Multi-stakeholder consultative approach → addressing the impact analysis → proper channel for grievance redressal → capacity building of personnels → Initiatives – CSIRABS, Digital payment, Direct benefit Transfer (DBT'21) Way forward: Systemic implementation and formulation of development Initiatives forms the cornerstone of welfare scheme at must more from Silo based approach to accomodative approach.
