Policies decide the tax we pay, the food we eat, the cleanliness of our cities, and the strength of our country. The quality of the air, the rules of traffic, the textbooks in schools, everything is a matter of policy and governance. Despite its sweeping significance, it is left to be understood by the few who influence the field of policy. These include bureaucrats, researchers, politicians, lawyers etc., mostly the people who are working on public policy. The concepts of policy are not made available to those whom public policy influences. At least not in a way that they can easily understand. Not in a way that can guide them to make more informed choices. Not providing them a tool to make out which policies will be beneficial to them and the country. This is a book that fills this gap. It is for the aware citizen. Topics covered: Constitution of India, parliamentary democracy, three organs of the government (legislative, executive, judiciary), three levels of the government (center, state, local), elections in India, public administration, local government, budget, grievance redressal, and international relations. The book also talks about the role of civil society, how to form opinions on public policy, and how to enter the public policy space as a career. The appendices explain the legislative process in India and list some important organizations\/portals which active citizens can use.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"TruncatedContent__gradientOverlay\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Button__container\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Best of used books","offers":[{"title":"Used","offer_id":44273486037249,"sku":"2SMTFJ4LD-Used","price":299.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0421\/4299\/0495\/products\/PublicPolicy.jpg?v=1666438075","url":"https:\/\/bestofusedbooks.com\/products\/public-policy","provider":"Best Of Used Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
