India has fallen far and fast from the runaway growth rates it
enjoyed in the first decade of the twenty-first century. In?order
to reverse this trend, New Delhi must seriously reflect on its
policy choices across a wide range of issue areas.
"Getting India Back on Track"?broadly coincides with the 2014
Indian elections to spur a public debate about the program that the
next government should pursue in order to return the country to a
path of high growth. It convenes some of India's most accomplished
analysts to recommend policies in every major sector of the Indian
economy. Taken together, these seventeen focused and concise
memoranda offer policymakers and the general public alike a clear
blueprint for India's future.
Praise for "Getting India Back on Track"
"Bibek Debroy and Ashley J. Tellis have brought together an
impressive group of experts who provide a clear road map to move
India forward in 2014. Anyone invested in the country's success
should read this book." --Arun Shourie, former Indian minister of
disinvestment, communication, and information technology
"It is rare to find a group of experts as accomplished and
diverse as those represented in "Getting India Back on Track."
Their work builds a strong foundation for a real dialogue about
India's future at a time when a generational change in India's
leadership will set the course for decades to come. The Carnegie
Endowment for International Peace should be complimented for
undertaking such a worthwhile project." --Frank Wisner, former U.S.
ambassador to India and former under secretary of defense for
policy
"Focusing on a range of key issues, "Getting India Back on
Track" has captured the scale and complexity as well as the need
for resetting India's policies at the national and state levels.
This excellent volume will be a very valuable resource to key
policy framers and decisionmakers in India's new government."
--Naresh Chandra, former cabinet secretary, and former Indian
Ambassador to the United States
