Post Article 370 scenario: A worsened security situation in Jammu and Kashmir abetted by Pakistan, exacerbated by the absence of legitimate political channels, a weak economic infrastructure, and an inadequate administrative capacity. Further, this situation is unlikely to change for the better over the next two years. To manage this worsened security situation while rebooting economic and political mechanisms, India’s policy approach should be: 1. Security: reduce visibility while increasing security over the near term 2. Economy: build public infrastructure to support private investment 3. Administration and governance: decentralise and devolve 4. Politics: return to political normalcy as the security situation improves 5. Employment and entrepreneurship: remove obstacles to livelihood and entrepreneurship, invest in relationships, build social networks For each policy approach, the document lists initiatives that the Union government can take up.]]>

Mobilised violence is detrimental to the democratic fabric of India. It prevents individuals from enjoying their right to speak, move and conduct business freely. It can also cause injuries and loss of life to bystanders, in addition to significant economic costs from a cessation of economic activity and damage to property. This Discussion �ݺ�ߣdoc is based on the Takshashila Discussion Document – A Framework for Countering Mobilised Violence. Existing legal measures being insufficient in addressing the problem. This �ݺ�ߣdoc recommends that mobilised violence can be better targeted by making a few specific changes to the legal instruments currently in place to counter such incidents. The �ݺ�ߣdoc presents two primary recommendations to counter mobilised violence. Creation of a law that targets groups engaging in mobilised violence and not just individual perpetrators of violence. Refining the scope of hate speech under the IPC to focus on the incitement of violence.]]>

Financing public health in India is a vital challenge. As a response, the Union government transfers funds to the lower tiers of government, specifically meant to improve the public health services. The stated goal of specific transfers is to ensure that at least certain minimum standards of healthcare are achieved all across the country. However, our analysis of this category of funds in the period 2005 to 2015 highlights several problems that make this goal difficult to achieve. First, the transfers are poorly targeted, as these are not linked to health indicators. Instead, such transfers by and large tend to be incremental. Second, the specific purpose transfer system has not been very helpful in offsetting the fiscal disabilities of the poorer states. Third, there is evidence to suggest that States substitute grants received from the Union government for their own spending with the result that there has not been a commensurate increase in overall spending on healthcare. ]]>

Gene drives are being explored for alleviating vector-borne infectious diseases however, the risks of employing them need to be understood. This �ݺ�ߣdoc assesses the potential use of gene drives in India by performing a stage-wise risk assessment of deploying gene drive. Gene drive mosquitoes are an application of Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) technology. The application is to develop mosquitoes that decrease the incidence of mosquito-borne diseases. Research into gene drives should be promoted however, there are risks associated with their potential use in India. Given the nature of the technology, it is recommended that robust monitoring mechanisms for disease incidence, mosquito burden and ecological impact be implemented before deploying these mosquitoes. Data driven decisions on identifying the type of gene drive and deployment locations will ensure effective use of the technology.]]>

Over the next quarter century, the international order is likely to change considerably. A new geopolitical and macroeconomic context will necessitate a flexible strategy to maximise India's national interest. In this Discussion Document, an analytical framework is developed to visualise possible New World Orders at the intersection of two axes. The first axis represents five possible geopolitical trends, organised by the degree of global polarity. The second axis represents four geoeconomic trends, based on the degree of growth, automation, trade, and labour movements. In each scenario, the proposed strategies to maximise India's national interest are determined. The most frequently-occurring strategies are used to develop an agenda that will hold India in good stead, regardless of how the world shapes up. Domestic Economic Reforms Liberalise major sectors, implement labour and factor market reforms. Be an attractive destination for FDI. Focus on the employment elasticity of growth in addition to growth itself. Collaborate with foreign universities for skilling the workforce. Build a social security net to deal with inequality, unemployment, skill obsolescence, and an aging population. Reforms for India’s engagement with the world at large. Three critical military shifts needed: from land to sea, from the physical to the virtual (cyberwarfare); and from manpower to firepower. Champion the cause of globalisation as movement of labour, goods, and services is critical for India’s growth. Retain flexibility in terms of alignment: be open to larger partnerships and global projects, as well as unilateral action.

An Account of Unaccounted Income is a discussion document that takes an in-depth look at India's unaccounted economy. It is important to distinguish between different categories of unaccounted economy, each of which has different method of functioning and different implications for the economy. The unaccounted economy is a combination of the illegal economy, unreported economy, unrecorded economy and finally, the informal economy. This discussion document focuses on the size of the unaccounted economy and the processes involved in generating and utilising unaccounted income. It dwells on select sectors of the economy, which are more vulnerable to unaccounted income, such as real estate, education, mining, trade misinvoicing and illicit financial flows, and gold. Finally, the document looks at corruption and malpractices in government contracts and schemes.]]>

0 The Takshashila Future Deck /slideshow/future-deck-v1dot3-watermarked/51264646 futuredeckv1dot3watermarked-150804142345-lva1-app6891
Why Future Deck? The Takshashila Future Deck is a set of cards designed to spark conversations about emerging challenges and opportunities that are facing India and the world. Creating the Deck This project was inspired by a similar deck created by the Centre for Strategic Futures, Singapore. Each card in the deck is a potential driver of India's future. The cards are grouped in the following sub-sets: Macroeconomic Shifts, Technology and Society, Citizenship and Governance, Future of Conflict and the Drivers of Growth. Using the cards The deck can be used in workshops to prioritise issues for further research, to examine the impact of the issues on public policy, and to craft scenario narratives about the future. Participants can assume public roles and examine how individual cards could impact them, and also draw up new scenarios based on how two or more cards would affect each other.]]>
