Brief remarks by authors and editors

This book is the result of a fruitful collaboration of the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances, Government of India and the International Institute of Administrative Sciences, Brussels. Being published on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Republic and celebrating the achievements of the nation in fulfilling the aspirations of the people expressed through the Constitution of India, the book is a collection of essays written by academics and experienced former bureaucrats. Each essay tells the story of the development of the identified sectors over the last three-quarters of a century since Independence from colonial rule. It relates the early struggles of implementation leading to our solid achievements contributing to the unprecedented growth of the economy. These essays cover a wide range of subjects, including the Constitution of India, the nature of our democracy, the civil service and our administrative systems, as well as crucial sectors of our political economy such as industry, information technology, health, education, energy, water, rural and urban issues, while also not ignoring sensitive areas such as gender inclusion and social justice. It is our hope that this volume of essays will prove useful for students, researchers, academics, India watchers, as well as the general reader, who wish to know more about India.
