How will the training be relevant to government servants and help them discharge their duties more effectively;

While the country has made progress in lot of areas, there is increasing realization that the public policies in India could be more effective. There is need for the policy apparatus, to understand the importance of and pave ways for, the adequate and appropriate policy inputs, articulation of interests of multiple stakeholders, arriving at equilibriums in the negotiations and bargains, effective implementation, etc.

Therefore, it is very important that the policymakers and implementers are aware of the latest developments in the field of public policy process. The Course would be useful for the officials of All India Services and Central Secretariat Services. The officials at Dy. Secretary and Director levels of the Government of India would be appropriate at which such developments need to be discussed, so that our policies deliver the desired results.

Draft programme design, content and pedagogy, draft time table—starting on Monday and closing on Friday;

Introduction

Public policy in India is in a state of flux. The nature of the policy process has changed dramatically with an increasing role of different actors, both locally and globally. A case is made to listen to the multiple voices that are emerging in governance processes; it is argued that it is necessary to create a space for dialogue with civil society and citizens. The demand for stronger links between research and policy has grown, as much as efforts to mainstreaming public policy education to professionalize the bureaucracy.

Objective of the Course

1. To analyze the context of public policy process in a democratic set up.
2. To acquire analytical skills to understand public problems and develop policy responses.
3. To comprehend the linkages between public polices and policy making institutions.
4. To examine some sectoral policies in terms of objectives, processes and outcomes.

Contents:

Each session would have cross-cutting coverage of the following-

1. Public policy process in a democratic set-up
2. Public policy analysis: theories and models
3. Policy making institutions
4. Actors in policy process- local as well as global
5. Select public policies

Pedagogy

The sessions would be interactive. As almost all the participants would be at sufficient levels of seniority and have experience of dealing with public policies, they would contribute significantly.

Visual Methods would also be deployed (selected documentaries on successful public policy and governance initiatives would be discussed during the class room teaching and discussions).
