Dhananjaya and Krishna Raj. Public Policy is truly significant in any economy and more so in the Indian economy. The progress of any country depends to a great extent on the policies formulated and implemented by the government and its specialised agencies. Public policy issues are many and varied. Broadly speaking, they are both regulatory and promotional, the aim being bringing about behavioural changes among various players both in the private and public sectors. They provide for innovative interventions in the form of mandates and incentives in respect of innumerable economic activities with the objective of bringing about desirable socio-economic changes. The domain of public policy being very wide, the current edited volume focuses on a few aspects of public policy in areas like agriculture, industrial labour, international trade, development paths, regional development, poverty alleviation and basic minimum income, environment, gender justice, etc. Public Policy in India is a collection of essays written by experts from the universities and research institutes in honour of Professor B.S. Sreekantaradhya, Former Professor, Department of Studies in Economics and Co-operation, University of Mysore, Mysuru. All the authors who have contributed articles for this edited volume are established writers with many publications to their credit. The book will interest not only academics, policymakers and general public but will be particularly useful for students of policy sciences, economics, public administration, commerce and management.
