Furthermore due to the fact that policies are broader in principle than the legal enactments that operationalizes it, or that seeks to operationalize it, the real world success of it also depends on the extent of a policy vision that gets translated into law and subsequently into legal entitlements. In other words, the real world success of a certain policy that is aimed at a recognised policy problem is often limited by the act of legislating a policy solution and the ingenuity and imagination of the one that codifies a policy vision into law. This is because even if the normative and conceptual understanding of the policy problem resembles reality closely, it is only through a competent and effective codification that best factors in, the concerns of implementation, that a policy solution through legal protection and entitlements can come closest to meeting its policy objectives. Moreover, it is important to acknowledge the fact that the space for policymaking isn‟t value neutral or free from political considerations. In fact, the policy making space is heavily contested, due to the presence of divergent interest groups, which even when they may share common interests have varying understanding of a policy problem and therefore varying beliefs on an ideal policy solution, based on relative interests and institutional biases. The primary aim of this research therefore is to explore through a theoretical study the nature of policy development for two related social protection legislations in the country, „The Building And Other Construction Workers (Regulation Of Employment And Conditions Of Service) Act, 1996‟ and (BOCWA)„The Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Cess Act, 1996‟ (BOCWWCA), both of which is aimed at Social Protection of one the largest sectorial employers in this country, almost all of which is in the informal space. This theoretical study therefore seeks to explore the development of the policy through sustained research of primary and secondary sources, which includes, interviews as well as archived communication records between different stakeholders, most of which is not readily available in the public domain. Through this effort, it is expected that knowledge relevant for this particular policy and for social policies in general in India, pertaining the policy concerns expressed already can be generated.Item Role of Anganwadi Centres In Preventing, Detecting And Addressing Malnutrition In Children Below Three: A Study of Anganwadi Centres In Urban And Rural Bengaluru.(National Law School of India University, 2016) Sripada, JyotsnaItem Universal Public Healthcare As An Alternate Model Of Management And Delivery Of Public Healthcare Services In Karnataka (The Ontario Experience)(National Law School of India University, 2016) Singh, Dharmendra KItem Competitiveness Of Manufacturing Sectors In The Make In India Campaign To Explore the Competitiveness via the Manufacturing Competitiveness Index(National Law School of India University, 2016) Salome Dunna, AnnaItem Addressing The Challenges Faced By Women Entrepreneurs In Kerala: The Role of Micro Enterprise Consultants(National Law School of India University, 2016) Joseph, Meenu MariaItem Demand for Affordable Housing in India: A disaggregated analysis at state level.(National Law School of India University, 2016) Sharma, Harsh VardhanItem Performance Evaluation Of Karnataka‘s State Road Transport Corporations(National Law School of India University, 2016) Ram, Navyasree S.Transport is an important infrastructure in the economy of a country. The commerce in the economy rests on the well-laid foundation of transportation. In India, bus transport services were prevalent from the 1920s. The Road Transport Corporation Act was passed by Parliament in 1950, in a move to nationalize passenger road transport undertakings operating in various Indian states. Thus the state road transport corporations (SRTCs) were formed. Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) pioneered the move of splitting into smaller corporations that would improve physical productivity and financial performance. Thus the genesis of Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC), North Western Karnataka Road Transport Corporation (NWKRTC) and North Eastern Karnataka Road Transport Corporation (NEKRTC) took place. All the four corporations have been analyzed with respect to their profitability and capital efficiency, from which it is learnt that not all the corporations are doing well continuously throughout the years. The research aims at conducting a comparative assessment of the four transport corporations to gauge their efficiencies. The data envelopment analysis is adopted to calculate efficiency levels within the corporations on a scale of 0 to 100 percent, with the help of a set of input and output variables.Item Fertility Decline And Its Determinants: Is Rising Out-Of pocket Expenditure On Health And Education Shaping The Fertility Rate?(National Law School of India University, 2016) Mukerji, RohitItem More Than Just Water: Applying the Advocacy Coalition Framework to the Irrigation Sector in Maharashtra(National Law School of India University, 2016) Panickar, Varun R.Item The Transgender Rights Bill: A Critical Analysis of its Provisions vis-à-vis Ground Realities(National Law School of India University, 2016) RAY, PRIYADARSHINIItem One City Many Faces; A Study of Provisioning of public services in three urban villages of Delhi(National Law School of India University, 2016) Tyagi, ParasItem Financial Inclusion, Women Empowerment And Household Welfare: A Study in Arunachal Pradesh(National Law School of India University, 2016) Mallick, NehaItem Pharmaceutical Drug Price Regulations: An analysis of determinants of access to medicines(National Law School of India University, 2016) Kaushik, NaliniItem A Study Of Technology Spin-Offs From Space Research Policy Perspectives.(National Law School of India University, 2016) Nayar, RashmiItem Performance Evaluation of Electricity Distribution Companies in Karnataka(National Law School of India University, 2016) Harish, PratikItem Effectiveness Of Sakala: A study in Mysuru City Corporation under Urban Development Department, Govt. of Karnataka(National Law School of India University, 2016) B., SrisagarThe study tries to understand the effectiveness of „Karnataka Guarantee of Services to Citizens Act (KGSCA), 2011‟, also called „Sakala‟, in Urban Development Department (UDD) with special focus on Mysuru City Corporation(MCC). It tries to know the effectiveness of Sakala services in terms of improvement in time and cost of service delivery. Also it tries to find out whether organisational factors has more influence in effective service delivery or customer factors has more role to play in effective public service delivery. It makes use of mixed method approach to collect data through in depth interview and questions, both from service providers and service seekers. Theoretical concepts like human capital theory and systems theory were used to identify variables and indicators. The collected data was analysed using simple mathematical tools like percentage, frequency, tabulations, pie charts and bar graphs. The findings shows that the response of the service providers and service seekers towards effectiveness of Sakala as positive. The findings also show that the organisational factors (Human resources, Infrastructure and capacity building) are associated with effective delivery of Sakala services while customer factors (customers knowledge, customers demand and access to ICT tools) are not associated with the effective delivery of Sakala services. Overall Sakala is said to be effective.Item Understanding the Effects of Evaluation Policies in Elementary Education: A Case Study Analysis of Williamsburg, Virginia and Mahbubnagar, Telangana(National Law School of India University, 2016) Seetharaman, Bhavani
