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 Child Identities in Elementary Education Discourse and Policy: A Case Study of Rajasthan(National Law School of India University, 2016) Agrawal, TanyaItem 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 Examining And Analysing Quality Of Health Cate Service Delivery System – An Inter State Variation(National Law School of India University, 2016) Shreyashi, SweetyToday, India is at the crossroads of an exciting and challenging period in the Indian History. The economic development in India has gained momentum over the last few decades, but the health system is found to be at the cross-roads. Even though the Government initiatives in Public Health have recorded some noteworthy successes over time, the Indian Health System is Ranked 118 among 191 WHO member countries on the overall health Performance. In India, healthcare is found to be one of the largest service sectors and the Infant and Maternal Mortality Rates are considered as the major health outcome indicators. But, as the health care is determined by the quality of Health Care service delivery system being provided, the health care service delivery plays a critical role and has a vast impact in determining health of a state‟s population and affects the major health outcome indicators. Providing proper health care to each and every individual is of utmost importance as everyone has the right to live life healthy and without illness. On recognizing the importance of the Good Health in the changing pattern of the social and economic development and also improving the quality of life of the Citizens, this paper entails with the study of analysing the quality of health care service delivery across different High Priority and Non- High Priority States. The paper also examines the trends of Public Health Expenditure in the terms of Revenue and Capital Expenditure across selected Indian States with a period from 2005-06 to 2013-14 and the impact of Infrastructure, Human Resources and Public Health spending on the major health outcomes indicators.Item A Critical analysis of policy instruments required to promote solar PV module manufacturing in India.(National Law School of India University, 2016) Singh, ManmeetItem The Shifting Ground Exploring How Structural Factors In Political Regimes Influence Property Regimes In India(National Law School of India University, 2016) KS, DeepaItem 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, BhavaniItem Exploring the role of payments banks in furthering financial inclusion(National Law School of India University, 2016) Pandey, SrishtiItem Decentralisation of Primary Education (A study on the Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council, Diphu Assam)(National Law School of India University, 2016) Kathar, Songja EngtiItem Pharmaceutical Drug Price Regulations (An analysis of determinants of access to medicines)(National Law School of India University, 2016) Kaushik, NaliniItem The Contested Policy Space: Case Study of Development of Social Protection Policies for Unorganised Construction Sector(National Law School of India University, 2016) Lahiri, Mounik ShankarAbstract One of the primary challenges of policy making is that policies are often made as a response to a conceptualised social problem, where the problem identification often becomes central to the nature of policy that is formulated. 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 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 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 Regulation of Zero Rated Platforms in India: An Analysis of Discourses & Politics(National Law School of India University, 2016) S., SharadaItem A Study Of Technology Spin-Offs From Space Research; Policy Perspectives.(National Law School of India University, 2016) Nayar, RashmiItem A Comparative Analysis Of Alternate Urban Transport Modes For Phase – Ii Of Metro Rail In Bangalore: (A Study on the West Extension of the E-W Line of Phase II).(National Law School of India University, 2016) Ismath, Syeda MubeenaItem Demand for Affordable Housing in India: A disaggregated analysis at state level.(National Law School of India University, 2016) Sharma, Harsh Vardhan
