Most of the policies of the government (National Literacy Mission Programme, Saakshar Bharat, Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA), Midday Meal Scheme and, Free Bicycles Program Swachh Bharat Abhiyan) have been around since 1988. India has achieved the 74.04% literacy rate, now is it due to these schemes or due to low bar for passing someone for a literate? What have been the significant challenges in the implementation of these policies? And how to tackle them?

WORKPLACE BEHAVIOUR

UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME

Though we face numerous problems, there is a policy solution which would help to alleviate many of these issues.

LGBTQ

Still much needs to be done before achieving acceptance and equality.

The LGBT community welcomed the move, but still, there is little access to job opportunities and services like healthcare, education and housing to this section of society. There was a need to make them more inclusive so that they also enjoy the same social status as other Indians. Propose innovative ideas/plans/policies for the inclusion of LGBTQ community a new normal in our society to contribute to India’s inherent strength.

Propose policy remodellings, implementation tactics, technical and principle safeguards, GAAP principle alterations, Indian Accounting Standard Changes (e.g., shortcomings of AS 14), or changes in handling any of the financial instruments.

SPORTS

The active participation in sports improves community health and productivity, reduces medical expenses, imbibes discipline in character, generates great leaders, and enhances social cohesion. A country is glorified by the medals/titles won by its athletes in the international event.
