Publisher's Synopsis
In this volume, a range of case studies that identify good and sustainable practices in administrative reform in India are offered. The book examines three distinct areas: urban governance; energy and environmental governance; and service delivery systems. The contributors investigate the role of public and private partners as agents of change and showcase successful experiments that have transformed the lives of communities in rural areas. The book provides contextual and epistemological rationale for reforms through micro-level experiments and examines the element of sustainability which in turn could translate into a wider package of reforms.
