Over two days, we will cover four courses that begin with an introduction to Indian public policy-making and cover various aspects ranging from governance to policy-making and building effective partnerships with the government.
Public Policy in India
The Public Policy in India course will introduce participants to the structure and frameworks of public policy. It will study the stages that an issue goes through before it emerges as an official government policy. For each stage, it will explore the process and actors involved in shaping the outcomes. With this introduction to public policy-making in India, leaders will be better equipped to engage with governments in delivering positive change.
Governance in India
The course has been designed to unravel the intricate details of the Indian governance system. Over two sessions, leaders will explore the three-tier governance system in India, the distribution of law-making authority between different levels of government, administrative structures, revenue-raising capabilities, and decision-making processes, and revenue-spending procedures of the government. The course will empower leaders to better understand the functioning of the government. By the end of the course, the participants will be better equipped to engage the political and administrative spheres of governance in India.
Economic Policy-making in India
The course on Economic Governance in India aims to demystify how economic policies and decision-making by government happen. The course is divided into two sessions where the first session will examine the functioning of Public Sector Undertakings and discuss examples of collaboration between industry and civil society. The second session has been designed to offer valuable insights into the government’s investment decision-making strategies. Through this course, the participants will be endowed with core knowledge of the government’s economic decision-making processes and how they can participate in such processes.
Government-Industry Partnerships
As the Indian economy grows, it becomes increasingly important for the industry to build and engage in effective partnerships with the government. A pre-requisite for this is knowledge of who are the relevant officials for various policy issues. This course will fill that gap by introducing participants to important tools that they can rely on to identify important stakeholders in the government. By the end of the course, leaders will be trained in identifying important communication channels that they can rely on to build effective partnerships that drive innovation and progress.
