Structural reforms in power sector: implication for renewable. 3. Policies supporting renewable: aid to market formation. 4. Distributed energy resources: business models and market dynamics. 5. Renewable energy pricing in India: what is missing? 6. Renewable purchase obligation: does it need a revisit as instrument for market creation? 7.

Market design for renewable energy: right design, a missing link in India. 10. Renewable policy introspection: rethink and move in the right direction. Index. The scope of renewable energy generation technologies has far exceeded that of a laboratory, as they now require large-scale commercial generation. With them relying heavily on policy support, contemporary debates in energy are grappling with how exactly renewable energy should be priced and integrated into market. This book, written from an economics perspective, critically examines the aspects of pricing, regulatory oversight and rules governing the market for electricity generation from intermittent renewable energy sources and associated green product. This book discusses various policy and regulatory initiatives for renewable power generation technologies in India by comparing them with similar measures in some leading countries of the world. It contextualizes the pricing of renewable energy and looks at market-determined renewable energy certificate (REC) mechanism. Finally, it seeks to advance scholarship on green energy and introspects on policy dilemma facing the renewable segment in India and explores the possibility of achieving a level playing field for renewable energy vis-a-vis traditional methods of power generation, through appropriate market mechanism. …

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Contents: Introduction. 1. From the 'Rainbow' to 'Saffron': BJP's Changing Electoral Strategies. 2. Unmaking the Consensus: The NRC Debacle. 3. Hindutva at the Core: CAB-turned-CAA and Assam's Political Destiny. 4. Dream Seller's Economy: Promises and Populism. 5. Conservation, People's Entitlements and National Security. 6. Pandemic and Politics: BJP's Electoral Prospects. Epilogue. Select Bibliography. Index. Hindutva Regime in Assam: Saffron in the Rainbow analyses the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) strategy of appropriating cultural resources in Assam while pursuing the Hindutva agenda. In Assam, where numerous ethnic and regional political outfits have registered their electoral presence, the 'Rainbow Alliance' emerged as the dominant strategic tool for BJP in its electoral battles. The book studies how BJP has capitalized on people's attachment to their ethno-regional cultures and has successfully co-opted and 'saffronized' the 'Rainbow' by bringing together diverse ethnic groups into its fold. Scrutinizing electoral strategies, BJP's victories in 2014, 2016 and 2019, and the efforts towards dismantling consensus around the National Register of Citizens (NRC) by enacting the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), the book provides a holistic view of this steady 'saffronization'. It also critically investigates BJP's populist development agenda. From the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh's (RSS) grassroots work to the government's policy initiatives, the book analyses the regime's performance and ideological pursuits in depth. It highlights how BJP's strategies in Assam are unique in some ways and how similar strategies can be seen elsewhere in India. …

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Contents: 1. Introduction: Framing Youth in Contemporary Times. 2. The Skilling Economy and Youth at Risk. 3. Cultures of Schooling in India. 4.

Educating Youth: Regulation through Psychosocial Skilling in India studies the rise in skill-based developmental interventions for young people that aim to harness youth potential. Tracing these changes to the neoliberalization of education and training globally, this book discusses how a range of training programs, from social and personality development skills to employability and vocational skills, seek to cultivate an ethic of self-responsibility through skilling, to overcome structural disadvantage among the marginalized youth. Examining one such form of training in depth, Life Skills Education or LSE, that is advocated by international organizations, such as WHO and UNICEF, and popularized in India by various actors---from the state departments of education to local non-governmental organisations and middle-class citizensthis book shows how these programmes get adapted and modified within the Indian context. It demonstrates how authoritarian adultchild relations, caste inequalities and rote culture inflect the messages for self-development that the programmes transmit. Discussing the impact of these psychosocial skilling programmes observed in the Indian context, the book reflects on the cultural disconnects and internal limitations of liberal, progressive and experiential pedagogies in achieving intended outcomes. …

Managing Vulnerabilities of Institution Building and Organizational Change: The Role of Trust/Nidhi Prakash. Index. Understanding Vulnerabilities in Contemporary Society: Psychological Insights and Reflections explores the constructs of 'vulnerability', with an aim to move beyond the linguistic and normative appropriation of the word. It does this by uncovering diverse life experiences of varied individuals and communities who have largely remained unseen and unheard. With dynamically transitioning sociocultural circumstances, the boundaries demarcating the included versus the excluded, the accepted versus the unacceptable other, the endeared versus the disparaged continue to multiply. As we struggle with these numerous identities and categories, we are forced to encounter compounded vulnerabilities. The book explores the various ways in which an individual encounters and even embraces vulnerability in order to ensure survival. To help readers arrive at a broad understanding of the many underlying concerns, the book explores diverse issues such as gender, sexuality, adolescence, child abuse, exploitation, forced migration and homelessness. Based on rigorous empirical work, using traditional and alternative approaches to inquiry, the book provides critical insights for psychosocial and clinical interventions and will especially be of interest to psychologists, therapists and counsellors.…

Development Schemes and How People Engage with the State in Manipur/Tanmoy Das. 12. Informal Political Networks, Dalals and Local Governance in Assam/Amiya Kumar Das. Index. State vs. Society in Northeast India: History, Politics and the Everyday looks at a state as an entity that does not operate strictly as a rational, legal and administrative organization. State in the Northeast region is very much shaped by the social, economic and political practices on the ground. Using archival and ethnographic evidences, the book questions notions of region and border as fixed spaces. A state, in the process of governing society, produces itself through formal and informal practices on the ground, and the book argues that Northeast India is a significant site for studying this. It engages with conceptual, theoretical and methodological challenges thrown up by the political experiences of ordinary people in the Northeast. The book discusses everyday legal discourse, official public memory, development discourse, cases of becoming marginalized, resistance and ways of networking with the authorities. The objective is to understand the various ways in which state and society engage with each other; and to look at layers of historical interconnections that inform much of contemporary Northeast politics. The book will especially be of interest to scholars in politics, history, sociology and anthropology.…

Traditional' Sadhus in Hindutva Politics: Problem and Paradox. 3. (Re)Making of Hindutva: The Sadhus in the Vishva Hindu Parishad. 4. New-Age Gurus: The Votaries of Universal Hindutva. Epilogue. Bibliography. Index. Sadhus in Indian Politics: Dynamics of Hindutva maps the changing face of contemporary Hindu politics, evaluating the influence of sadhus (ascetics) on the course of politics in India. This book explores the anxieties around ascetic engagement with public affairs, understanding politics as janaseva and polities as rajniti and the authority exercised by these sadhus. It investigates the spirit of 'individualism' reflected by the sadhus in the organized and unorganized domains of politics and traces the dialectics of 'Hindutva' reflected through selected case studies, exposing the patterns of how the sadhus got involved in the muddled world of politics. This book also demonstrates the uneasy conflict between the modern Hindu right wing and Hindu traditionalists with their advocacy of Sanatan Dharma. It turns towards sadhus and gurus to explore the 'Hindu-ness' of the Hindus and confronts the metanarrative of Hindutva offered by various institutions. …
