This book emphasizes the need for experimenting with more
deliberate and rigorous policy processes to attain balanced
regional development, which can promote both equity and efficiency
in India's development discourse. The institutional mechanisms for
dealing with regional imbalance in India have not been very
successful so far. With rising discrepancies in development, demand
for autonomy continues along with a new dimension of regionalism
arising from submerged identity along with political and economic
aspirations, which demanded new channels for solution. So far,
attempts to create space for autonomy have possibly not optimally
accommodated the conceptual mechanisms like equity and democratic
process. Thus democratizing policy process using six pillars of
voice: knowledge, objective, fundamental values, implementation
framework and public awareness can ensure a better policy outcome
for dealing with the persistent challenges of regional disparity in
India. This book further focuses on the need for democratizing the
policy process for regional development through discussion and
inclusion. Such a transition needs innovation in policy regime,
which can be attained through following six pillars (i) Democratic
voice of stakeholders in policy development and implementation;
(ii) Clear policy objectives that advance the common good, based on
voice; (iii) Unbiased, sound and comprehensive knowledge and data
bases. (iv) Consistency with constitutional values; (v) A sound
implementation framework ensuring user-friendliness, transparency
and rationality of decision-making processes, effective grievance
redress, clear accountability and independent evaluation; (vi)
Public awareness and support of policies with relevant and public
participation in implementation.
