Some of the policies are translated to programmes in the ground level and help improve the measurable rates and ratios of the health system successfully. There is an improvement in life expectancy at birth, reduction of child mortality and maternal mortality, control, and reduction of epidemics over a period spanning more than seven decades post-independence. However, the comparison of the health achievement of India with the global south and north brings much disparity in the achievement rates, of which India clearly belongs to the global south. This article highlights many salient features of relevant healthcare policies and the progress thereof in the crucible of time. The article discusses the key historical developments in the Bhore Committee report 1946, Planning Commission of India, Alma Atta Declaration 1978, Health for All by 2000, National health policy 2002, High-Level Expert Group Report 2011, National Health Policy 2017, Astana Declaration 2017, and Prime Ministers Jan Arogya Yojna 2018, along with other policy documents having a strong bearing on the healthcare system of India.","PeriodicalId":243965,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Development Policy and Practice","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116512368","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The densely populated villages have high pressure on resources such as land and the rural labour market. NITI AYOG has reported Murshidabad district as one of the most backward districts in India. International labour migration started in the 1970s following the pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, for better jobs and income. Devastating floods in 2000 accelerated the emigration of labour to the Gulf countries to mitigate the damage. In recent years, especially post-flood time, Hindu neighbours with Muslim counterparts also moved to Gulf countries for better income. Remittances improved villagers’ material conditions (land and housing) and developed the growing local rural market. The knitted social cohesion between Hindus and Muslims initiated and accelerated the emigration process of Hindus, too, later on, further tightening the family and social ties in the post-migration period. This trust and ties of diverse groups have strengthened the potential for creating sustainable societies and attaining several SDGs, specifically SDG 1 (no poverty) and SDG 16 (peace, justice and strong institutions).","PeriodicalId":243965,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Development Policy and Practice","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125654466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We use individual-level data from the World Bank’s Global Findex 2017 database to investigate the differences in the use of accounts by men and women who are account holders and who save and borrow money formally to provide a comprehensive picture of individuals’ financial behaviour in India. Employing treatment effects estimations through the use of propensity scores, we find that although there is improvement in saving behaviour, borrowing behaviour as well as financial resilience among men and women who save and borrow formally as compared to those who do not, women lag significantly behind men in terms of the same. Thus, expanding women’s access to economic opportunity is critical to achieving gender equality in financial inclusion and unlocking the potential for economic empowerment and development. Our findings can aid in the formulation of policies that consider the unique requirements of women in order to increase financial inclusion and close the gender gap in India.","PeriodicalId":243965,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Development Policy and Practice","volume":"31 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132878792","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It also gets enriched when people of diverse social background live and interact with each other. Culture includes both the tangible (material) and non-tangible (non-material) elements. The diversity in their habitats as a result of location in a particular ecological niche results in diversity of their house types, building materials, size and shape of the houses, archaeological characteristics adjusting to weather conditions and the networks available for movement and circulation. The diversity in faith has resulted in the creation of temples, masjids, churches, gurudwaras, synagogues, ashrams, khanqahs stupas adding to the different types of tangible elements in the society. Human beings operate through the instruments of labor creating tangible elements. The social necessities provide techniques of modification to obtain freedom from natural compulsions. The methods and techniques of adjustments and modifications introduce diversity at the local, regional and nations levels. It is also true that human beings do not live by bread alone. They do require the food, shelter and clothing providing diversity in food habit shelters and dress. Besides, they also want to attend to their higher needs of understanding the philosophy and secrets of life. They also want to express themselves but the medium available to them is language which is incomplete medium of expression. All the feelings and emotions cannot be expressed through language. Hence, they have developed other forms of expression such as music, dance, painting, poetry, faiths, festivals, celebrations on different occasions adding color. All these represent the non- tangible, (non-material) elements of culture. Cultural diversity adds vigor to social life and needs to be celebrated.","PeriodicalId":243965,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Development Policy and Practice","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133537325","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To Gunnar Myrdal, the developed ‘modern man’ is the obverse—one who transcends tradition. Then, the locals need ‘development’ and ‘modernisation’ as they merely have ‘culture’. Thus, are the locals merely cultural beings? This article argues through the help of empirical data that the locals are not only ‘cultural beings’ but also ‘development beings’. This is shown through studying Jhunda (a tall shurb), which is simultaneously a part of both culture and economic development as well. Thus, it is argued that culture/development may not be separate entities as widely believed. Although, the dominant development machinery working through the instrumentalities of the state and private industry in the region have excluded the local culture and people, the researcher argues that the epistemic treatment of the locals and thus their inclusion has possibilities of offering value to the development process at large. But how do we situate and theorise the locals and local culture and their potential contributions in the larger development theory? To address the same, the locals and local culture are treated as a ‘diversity’ as in multiculturalism.","PeriodicalId":243965,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Development Policy and Practice","volume":"154 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121729374","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
