‎Democratic Governance in India: Reflections and Refractions [Hardcover]‎

‎How should governance be made more accountable and transparent? The book, wide-ranging and panoramic in content, seeks to intellectually confront the provocative question and explore, in the process, the highly elusive and controversial theme of democratic governance. It conceptualizes and contextualises the theme in the Indian context in terms of certain specific parameters and clues. The book contains contribution from a wide section of leading commentators, having long years of experience in teaching and research, who also have governance as their major or emerging area of interest. Followed by a lucid introduction which problematises the theme in general terms, the contributions in the book concern as diverse sub-themes as social capital, democratic decentralization, urban governance, rural governance, policy outcomes, mass upsurge corporate governance. The contributions, as the title of the book indicates, are a mixed bag of reflections on and refractions of democratic governance in India. They also contain refractions in the sense of revealing the 'bends' at particular points of the trajectory of the process. The book will complement the ongoing debate on democratic governance and will be a standard reference for the researchers, analysts and students of social science. It should also be valuable to the policymakers who wish to receive analytical and critical feedback on governance.

‎Urban Governance in India [Hardcover]‎

‎ABOUT THE BOOK:- The importance of efficient urban governance needs no elaboration in an increasingly urbanising world. Cities with high population densities throw significant challenges of transportation, safety, urban revitalisation, social inclusion and cohesion, environmental protection, water, air, energy, sanitation and climate changes which will magnify in the near future if not properly addressed now.

The urban local governance structures, mechanism and arrangements should aim at facilitating the adoption and implementation of successful policies to meet the challenges of sustainable, safe and equitable urbanisation.

‎Governance of Food Security Policies in India [Hardcover]‎

‎Public Policies, in India, are broadly of two types; policies which can alter the existing unequal socio economic structure and policies which are of incremental nature. Policies like land reforms, if enforced effectively, belong to the first category, while Food Security Policies like Targeted Public Distribution System belong to the second category and do not affect the unequal social-economic structure. Though food security policies are in operation for several decades, they have not taken into account the food sovereignty—the right of people to have healthy and culturally appropriate food- and variations in seasons, family size, age group, gender, and supply of adequate quantity and quality of food grains to the needy. The target group members are not involved in core components of democratic governance such as legitimacy, accountability, competency, participation, consensus, equitability and inclusiveness. People-centered governance is a prerequisite for the success of Food Security Policies. Dr. Ch.Bala Ramulu is currently a UGC Emeritus Fellow working on “Inclusion and Exclusion of Marginalized Communities at the Grassroots Level Democratic Institutions”. He was a National Fellow, Indian Council of Social Science Research, New Delhi (2012-2014) and worked on “Governance of Food Security Policies in India”. Dr. Ch.Bala Ramulu was Professor of Public Administration at Kaktiya University, Warangal, Telangana, India for more than three decades. He served the University in different academic & administrative capacities. He received the University's Best Teacher-Researcher award and the State Best Teacher award. He was a Visiting Fellow at Centre for Human Rights, University of Hyderabad. Dr. Ch.Bala Ramulu has published five books and 60 research papers in national and international journals. His teaching and research interests are in the areas of development studies, decentralized governance, role of civil society in governance, rural livelihood and public policy with emphasis on policy analysis, coordinating studies and evaluations.

‎Highlander’s Plainspeak: An Administrative Rede [Hardcover]‎

‎ABOUT THE BOOK:- The “Highlander's Plainspeak: an Administrative Rede” is a unique narrative. Structured over important posts held by author over a period of thirty three years of active service in Indian Administration, it recounts personal novel experiences while critically analysing reformative and developmental interventions. It spans wide-ranging fields of administration. From policy-making to implementation of schemes, taxation and planned spending, it forays into the unexpected heavy fire-fighting during natural disasters and emergencies, besides challenging brushes with polity and judiciary. It can be useful not only for the budding aspirants and administrators but also to those having academic interest in nuances and caveats, potential and paradoxes of the Indian administrative system in all its facets. The book shows how the system rewards and motivates but also punishes and bruises, sometimes without rhyme or reason. Misunderstandings with seniors, contemporaries and friends can be common, and at times vicious. The narratives reveal how an administrator can exercise functional leverage through specific and broad-based interventions at every rung of hierarchy, even while holding posts type-cast as administratively insignificant. The book reflects the die-hard spirit of an emotionally-detached administrator, who turned his assignments into the most productive ones for the public at large. ABOUT THE AUTHOR:- The author, Dr. Taradatt, earned his Ph.D. from Banaras Hindu University after completing dual Masters degrees in Sanskrit, with specialization in Literature, and Indian Philosophy. Showing competitive mettle, he got placed in Indian Administrative Service in 1983. In a career spanning 33 years, he innovated and visibly transformed land administration, agriculture, rural and tribal development, disaster management, and varied other fields. His forte was delivering timely and effective public service across all positions held in State Government of Odisha and Central Government. He rose to the top rung by dint of hard work, sincerity, intelligence, sheer grit, and unimpeachable integrity. He has numerous articles in Sanskrit, English and Odia published in reputed journals and dailies, besides four books to his credit on tribal development, block development administration, Advaita Philosophy of Aadi Sankara, and reality and imaginations in relation to Kailash-Manasarovar.
