i) Right to Public Services provided by the State Government – Comparative Study of State Laws and
need for a Parliamentary Enactment
ii) NPA in Banks Affecting the Development of India
iii) Urban Planning in India: Developing an Integrated Approach
The essay writers are expected to cover the following aspects in their respective entries:
Topic: Right to Public Services provided by the State Government – Comparative Study of State
Laws and need for a Parliamentary Enactment
The essay should mainly cover the following broad points:
Public service delivery is recognised as an important right of citizens in many parts of the world. In
India too, there has been a growing realisation that the credibility and legitimacy of the state depends on
its capacity to take care of its citizens. Efficient and effective public service delivery has been a significant
challenge for public sector organisations. Many initiatives have been taken by the government to increase
citizen satisfaction with service delivery. The adoption of citizen charter and public grievance redressal
system has been important steps in this direction. However, years of experience with these revealed that
because of lack of legal backing, these could not provide much relief to the citizens. Despite providing the
timelines and nodal officers responsible for implementation, citizen charter framework could not provide
assured service delivery in most cases.
Given the federal framework of India, the responsibility for service delivery is divided between the Central,
State and local governments. Many states have attempted to address the issue by enacting a right to public
service delivery legislation. Madhya Pradesh was the first State of India to have enacted the law giving public
service the status of right in 2010. The legislation specified the services and departments to be covered.
Timely delivery of specified services was mandatory, failing which punitive provisions were introduced. Many
other State, such as, Bihar, Delhi, Punjab, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, Kerala, Uttarakhand, Haryana,
Uttar Pradesh, Odisha, Jharkhand, Maharashtra, West Bengal, Goa, etc., have since moved in that direction.
There are differences in the nomenclature as well as provisions of these various laws. Their effectiveness
in terms of implementation and outcomes has varied too. It is time to look at the state experiences and draw
lessons from the comparative picture to further improve the citizen experience of public service. Whether
these laws have made any meaningful difference to the state of the citizens, and whether there is a need
for similar or different initiatives at the Central level for improving the delivery of public services are some
of the questions that need to be examined.
Topic: NPA in Banks Affecting the Development of India
The essay should mainly cover the following broad points:
1. What are NPA’s? What has led to increasing NPAs in the Banking Sector?
This section should explain the concept of NPA’s and enumerate on how NPAs in India have increased
exponentially, particularly since 2014. Are the rising NPAs in the banking sector affecting credit off take? If
yes, how?
2. How to curb the problem of growing NPAs? The short and long-term measures that need to be
taken to tackle this problem.
This section should include what are the likely short and long-term steps that the government and
the banks need to undertake to curb this problem including review of NPAs, Insolvency and bankruptcy
code, role of the asset reconstruction company and focus on long term issues such as Improving credit
risk management, strengthen credit monitoring, address corporate governance issues in public sector
banks etc
IIPA NEWSLETTER/mAy 2018 9
Good governance requires working toward common ground. It isn't easy. -Pete Hoekstra
3. steps taken by RBI and Government in last few years to curb nPAs
The section should explain steps already taken by RBI and government such as provisioning for
stressed assets, re-capitalisation of banks, writing off bad debt etc. How effective have been these steps
so far and what are the likely implications of these steps?
4. How NPAs have affected the goal of faster and inclusive growth and development in the country.
And what does international experience with respect to NPAs tell us.
This section should focus on the need for a technologically advanced, transparent and efficient banking
system in a growing economy like India. The need of the hour it to evaluate the growth of NPAs in India
and carry out a comprehensive analysis of the existing policies and structures to ensure that India remains
on a high growth trajectory.
Conclusion
Policy recommendations to focus on strengthening banking sector regulation in the country and
undertake a comprehensive relook into the existing policies and structures to ensure that NPAs don’t
hamper growth and development of the economy.
Topic: Urban Planning in India: Developing an Integrated Approach
Participantsof essaywritingcompetitionare expectedtocoverthefollowingfivemajorheadings(approximate
wordcountmentionedin bracket).
I. Definition of an urban area (about 500 words)
The essay writer should be clear about the definition of urban area in India and in other countries. The
definition of urban area makes India appear less urbanised than China. Urban area definitions are to be
seen critically to suggest definition, which may be more acceptable in Indian context.
2. Evolution of urban planning and influence of western models for urban planning process in
India (about 1000 words)
Urban planning is as old as human settlement itself, and archaeologists have sufficient evidence to
establish urban planning prevailed in the Middle East and North Africa, Latin America, Asia and sub-Saharan
Africa. These human settlements started from the river valleys like Nileriver valley, Indus river valley,
Euphrates and Tigris river valley and Yellow river valley. These settlements have always been planned,
though may not always by governments or according to some set principles of planning.
Mohenjo-daro and Harappain Indus Valley civilization, 3500 BC, were well-planned and compact towns
with booming art and culture, spreading over other countries like Mesopotamia. Ancient India followed
strict rules and regulations of Hindu Shastras and Puranas till the Moghuls came and established towns
as per the Islamic culture. Important towns of ancient India were Pataliputra, Ayodhya, Hasthinapuram,
Rajagriha, Kanchipuram, etc. Towns of medieval period were Fatehpur Sikri, Shahjahanabad, Jaipur, etc.
Towns, which came up during British regime,were Madras, Bombay, Calcutta, Allahabad, Lahore,
Nagpur, etc.
With advent of Industrial Revolutionin Western Europe in 19th century, new ideas of urban planning
were shaping human settlements. The principles of renowned scholars, which influenced the modern urban
planning throughout the world, should be critically assessed to bring out the positive points. Work of a few
prominent philosophers like Sir Ebenezer Howard’s Garden City concept which continued to be popular
among Indian planners till late 20th century; Raymond Unwin’s for concept of Central City with Satellite
towns and communities in its periphery; C.A. Perry’s advocacy for neighbourhood unit model; Patrick
Geddes’ trinity of place, work and folk; LeCorbusier’s ideas in his work of architecture and planning and
Dr. C.A. Doxiads’ idea of interrelating man with his environment.

are still relevant and are over shadowing the western concepts being followed since colonial period.
History of Urban Planning in India should be studied and summarised as few of these concepts

3. Effectiveness of western urban planning approaches for Urban India assessed (about 750 words)
Colonialism diffused or rather imposed these western urban planning systems in India and other
countries under colonial rule during 20th century.These systems were unavoidably based on certain
assumptions of the time and space, which often were not so effective and appropriate for colonial urban
India, where these western models were diligently followed. British colonial authorities introduced new urban
concept of racial spatial segregation while establishing new towns and also influenced the development
of existing ones in India. Trade dictated their focus to develop port cities like Madras, Bombay, Calcutta,
Karachi, Colombo, Singapore and Hong Kong. Effectives or ineffectiveness of these western models in
Indian urban areas during those time and at present need to be critically assessed in this section.
4. Characteristics and status of Master Plan of urban areas in India (about1000 words)
Modern Urban Planning being followed since 20th century is top-down process producing rigid end-state
plans like master/ development plans, which are usually mono-functional producing unproductive urban
environments. Master Plan is a statutory document having map-suggesting areas for various sland-uses.
Indian urban population are residing in 7935 towns and cities (Census 2011) of which only limited urban
areas have Master Plan or Development Plans. A Master Plan is essential for the planned development
of an urban area, as in its absence growth occurs in haphazard manner. It is observed that even in urban
areas with Master Plan, unauthorised and unplanned growth is rampant.
Since the beginning of 21 st century Master Plan approach has been criticised, especially for being
ineffective in cities experiencing rapid growth and the pressures of globalisation. Major drawback of Master
Plan approach being absence of resource component– finance, human and natural resources, which
resulted in its poor implementation. Further, the Master Plan approach was no longer compatible after
the 74th CAA, which widened the role of local government and also gave a platform to stakeholders in
decision-making. Need for new paradigm in context of holistic approach to be established in this section.
5. Recent changes in urban planning in India (about 1750 words)
The 21 stcentury saw the advent of IT revolution, wh ich has made possible to discard age-old
techniques of planning and adopt IT-enabled techniques for better and faster preparation of Master Plan.
For preparation of Master Plan, the Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD) rechristened as Ministry
of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoUHA), got Urban and Regional Development Plan Formulation and
Implementation (URDPFI) Guidelines prepared in 2014, which replaced the earlier Urban Development Plan
Formulation and Implementation (UDPFI) guidelines,1996.UDPFI guidelines were the reference document
for executives– professionals, administrators, etc., of the urban local bodies and other para statals of
small and medium towns and cities across the states. Keeping the latest guidelines into consideration,
assess whether the suggested approach is sufficient to address the urban issues comprehensively. Finally,
suggest a holistic approach to urban planning for India.
