This report is a pilot in the
Bank's new approach to country economic reports,
embodying the Comprehensive Development Framework. It begins
with a chapter on reducing poverty, followed by a chapter on
human development. Chapter 3 focuses on the Indian states,
which are key actors in human development and infrastructure
provision, as well as regulation and governance. Chapter 4
deals with governance issues, a major concern of the Bank
because of its links to poverty reduction and development.
The next three chapters deal with ways to increase growth
and its poverty reducing content through improvements in a)
infrastructure, b) the incentive and regulatory framework to
encourage efficiency and labor demand, and c) the financial
system and corporate governance. Chapter 8 deals with recent
developments, the sustainability of growth and ways to
reduce vulnerability to macroeconomic crises that hurt the
poor. Finally, Chapter 9 provides a brief forecast of
India's prospects and summarizes policies that would
accelerate poverty reduction and sustained development. Gaps
in the knowledge base and in country experience have been
identified as issues deserving further analysis and
research. The most important ones include: improving the
delivery of social services to the poor; the links between
growth, poverty reduction, and governance; and the nature,
causes, and cures of urban poverty. |
