Government Policies are Lacking Because of Proper Implementation

( By Shubhangi Paliwal )

Public policy-making in India has frequently been characterized by a failure to anticipate needs, impacts, or reactions that could have reasonably been predicted. We bothered why India's policymaking structures have so many problems in forming the “right” policy. The question is what can be done to improve the structures and systems required in public policymaking in India. 

Policy implementation is of critical importance to the success of the Government, puts the purposes of policy adopters into action to fulfill the desired results. No policy can succeed if the implementation does not have a relationship with the intentions of policy adopters. Policy implementation is the method of putting policy into effect. Implementation is the state between a decision and operation. It tries to determine whether an organization can carry out and achieve its stated objectives.  


The Policy Process Implementation of social policy in India is a complex process since any policy message travels through a minimum of three different tiers of government: central, state level, and local government at the District level. 

 

The process of policy formulation consists of:- 

1. Understanding and examining the present environment, both 

2. External and internal 

3. Identification of policy choices to achieve the goals in the expected environment 

4. Examination of the choices 

5. Elaboration of the consequences of various alternatives

6. Effect of choices and outcomes on preferred values and norms 

7. Selection of policies. 

 

The government use laws, customs, and institutions to exercise political, executive, the power to manage a state of well-being that benefits all aspects of the community or unit. Government policies contain the reasons things are to be done in a certain way. Government policy describes a course of procedure, creating a starting point for development. They can constrain how much tax the community pays, pensions, parking fines, immigration status, and laws. Policies are urged to be non-discriminatory, they can affect groups of individuals. Policies are not laws, but they can commence to laws. 


The government is constantly looking to develop and implement ways that change the lives of residents and communities for the more desirable. It’s a daunting task, trying to harness ideas and resources that will effectively address society’s problems of which there can be no end. That is why governments are always looking at a series of situations.


Examples of poor law implementation in India: 


  1. Environmental Laws: The Government has passed various laws to reduce the damage being caused to the environment such as the Forest Conservation Act, 1980, Environmental Protection Act, 1986, National Green Tribunal Act, 2010, etc. They are not implemented properly and despite having a specialized court to deal with environmental damage persists. 

 

  1. Gender Laws: Women in India though are progressing and breaking barriers in the form of pro-gender laws. They still lack an effective implementation. According to the UN report on gender equality, India is still behind the rest of the world significantly. 

 

  1. Labour Laws: Child labor persists despite having strict labor laws like the Payment of Wages, The Minimum Wages Act, etc. 

 

  1. Right to information: According to multiple reports on RTI, we have seen political killings of activists, delay in getting information, lackluster approach in information related to VVIPs, the pendency of applications, etc. 



Reasons why the poor implementation of laws in India:

  1. Poor conviction rates: The cases under various laws are increasing but the conviction rate is still very low. 

 

  1. Lack of state cooperation and will: On ground implementation of laws depend on state action when it comes to implementing laws perform poorly due to reasons like lack of resources, due to political rupture and corruption. 

 

  1. Lack of political will: Every few years before the elections Politicians make promises to bring outlaws but after the elections, they are least interested in its implementation. 

 

  1. Lack of rules: A law made by the Parliament can only be applied if the government makes rules along with it as well. Example Benami Transactions Act/Benami properties. 

 

  1. High Population: India has 2nd largest population in the world. Because such high population laws even though enacted are tough to implement. 

 

  1. Lack of review: Public Consultation and feedback can help to identify the flaws in the law. Only some laws in India have been asked for feedback. There is also a lack of a mechanism to get this feedbacks while making rules. 

 

  1. High diversity: Due to high diversity it is difficult to implement laws. Language barriers, local customs are some roadblocks in the proper implementation of laws. 

 

  1. Corruption: Corruption is the biggest problem in India. Criminals who are trapped get their way out by bribing cash. 

 

  1. The habit of breaking laws: People have developed a tendency to break laws. When the law loses its respect, the protection of rights and maintenance of peace is impossible to ensure. 

 

Policies have to be prepared carefully. Government policy will have a dynamic impact, it may seem frustrating, everyone involved wants to be sure these changes will improve and not hinder the community. 


Policies like demonetization and make in India are successful? Make in India launched in 2014 and now it's 2020. The last five years witnessed the slow growth of investment in the economy. We need an acknowledgment that this strategy has failed, and we need to develop a new one unless we are fine with a further decline in manufacturing.

Why recycling should be necessary?

Why recycling should be necessary? ( by Neha Soni ) Why should we recycle? A question that is always around us but we fantastically ignore it. So why do we do that? Why don’t we recycle things or at least make some habits in our schools, colleges, or workplace that will segregate the recyclable products? The answer is simple- we are either not bothered or not have enough knowledge of the importance of recycling. Recycling is a process in which waste materials are converted into new materials and products. The new products which are formed are used, again get recycled and the cycle repeats. This is done to prevent excessive usage of raw materials and will help us in preserving the environment. Recycling is one of the main components of a waste management system and is the third component of the “Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle" waste motto. Thus, recycling aims at environmental sustainability by substituting staple inputs into recyclable waste outputs.   Products which can be recycled a

            How to Stop Wasting Water? (By Sravani Binkam) Image By:- Shrut Kapadia Water covers about 71% of our earth that’s the reason why it’s so crucial to understanding and to change the climate. One of the most common ways in which people waste water by leaving the water running when brushing their teeth, shaving, showering, washing the dishes. Turn the tap off as soon as you start brushing, shaving, washing the dishes. For washing the dishes, we have one sink with clean water and one with soapy water. By using this tip, we can reduce water wastage. The average person wastes 30 glasses of water every day. Our toilet could be flushing away up to 5 gallons of water every time we flush. People tend to flush every time the toilet is used, which can waste hundreds of glasses a week. Using a pipe to wash the car can use up gallons of water. If we leave the hose running, then it can end up wasting almost 150 gallons of water. However, if we use a small bucket and sponge to wash the car

What is the role of organic farming in making future of Agriculture? ( by Neha Soni ) Agriculture is one of the leading sources of food within the World. Human has sacrificed its natural resources for economic development from the period of human civilization to the trendy world. Within the evolutionary period of agriculture, people used the practice of slash and burn agriculture, commonly called Jhum cultivation, where farmers cut down the trees of the forest and burn the plant remains. The ash is employed as a fertilizer and therefore the land is then used for farming or cattle grazing. After cultivation, the area is left for several years to permit its recovery. The farmers then advance to other areas and repeat the method. In earlier days, when Slash and Burn cultivation was in prevalence, enough time-gap was given specified that the land recovered from the effect of cultivation. With increasing population, and repeated cultivation, this recovery phase is completed away with, lea

Elder people are abused verbally, physically, mentally, and economically. Some of the issues they face in society are as under:-  • Family Problems:-  Elder people despite being living with their family feel isolated because they are not given importance by other family members.
