Following the standard percepts for dealing with supply shocks, monetary policy continued to be easy for an extended period, while simultaneously huge fiscal stimuli were applied. Even when a more restrictive monetary stance was taken, the measures were not strong enough to restrain inflationary expectations. A soft monetary policy with a sizeable fiscal deficit can harden inflationary expectations and a perpetuation of a new higher normal for inflation.

The AUKUS programme has become a fulcrum of the US’s Indo-Pacific strategy, and the choice of nuclear attack submarines in preference to aircraft carriers or any other naval platform is a clear indication of the versatility of such platforms. The viability of this programme for Australia and its relevance to India’s defence planning and procurement process are analysed.
“Hunger” is indeed a sensational term. It causes a stir among politicians, policymakers, journalists and all concerned. Unsurprisingly, India’s poor rank in terms of the Global Hunger Index (GHI) becomes a major talking point with the release of the country report cards every year.

While there are some promising changes for higher education in the University Grants Commission (Setting up and Operation of Campuses of Foreign Higher Educational Institutions in India) Regulations, 2023, it also suffers from certain flawed assumptions. The inherent contradictions of this draft and its premises of internationalising higher education are under scrutiny by educationist, policy analysts and other stakeholders.

The policymakers in India have constantly endeavoured to promote agricultural exports; however, certain agricultural products have been subject to extensive use of export restrictions as well. In this context, the article attempts to appraise the various trade policy instruments with special reference to “minimum export price” and examine how it has become a redundant trade policy tool. The case of onions is used to elucidate the exorbitant misuse of MEP by unscrupulous business fi rms and suggests a road map for policy reforms. Agriculture has been an integral part of the Indian economy for centuries. Despite the rapid growth of other sectors, it continues to be the primary source of livelihood for a majority of the country’s population (Mathur et al 2006). India is the world’s second largest producer and 10th largest exporter of agricultural products. With available production surplus in key agricultural products, the Government of

Following a historical appreciation of the concept of citizen science, the article opens up the traditionally closed silos of science and public policy, further includes recent commentaries on how this approach may benefi t decision-making and what challenges lie ahead in achieving its full transformative potential for making it a complete public enterprise.
Fair compensation remains the sole ground for challenging the authority of the state on the contentious issue of land acquisition, by those affected by it. The issue of fair compensation is looked at, through a theoretical lens of Rawls’s conception of “justice as fairness” by critically analysing the amendments to the land acquisition acts and understanding the different methods adopted by the legislature and the judiciary for calculating a “fair” market value of the land. Although different methods are adopted to determine this value, the fact remains that they cannot reform land markets in India.
In India, equitable growth can be achieved by following agriculture-led economic growth and preventing leakages in the economy that constrain the benefi ts of growth from reaching the low-income people.
