The Third Eye of Governance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789389958836)

Description

This important and closely argued book contends that research is a unique

'third eye of governance'-it brings otherwise invisible facts and ground

realities to light, thus enabling effective and humane public policies. However,

there has been a steady decline in social research with the rise of populism in

Indian politics, and disregard for transparency and accountability. The author

shows how data, statistics, analysis and research have become politically

sensitive and contentious. He argues that if the impressive recent mantras

about development and progress are also backed by applied social research,

India can reach new heights in democracy, development and governance.
