Book Review@IIPA Part 15 l Social Protection and Welfare l Dr Karthik Muralidharan

India dedicates a significant portion of its central and state budgets to welfare programs aimed at supporting the poor and marginalized. These initiatives, such as subsidies and income support, play a crucial role in India's democratic framework. However, public discourse around these programs is often polarized-are they essential for equity and social justice, or mere political tools for vote-buying?
The author argues that the focus should not be on blanket support or criticism of welfare spending, but on the design and implementation of these programs.
Thoughtful welfare reforms can align India's economic and political objectives, achieving both growth and equity.
Join us as we explore how India can build a more efficient and impactful welfare system that balances equity, justice, and economic growth.
