Pro-poor public welfare, community connect and technology are means to transparency: PM’s advisor

HYDERABAD: The Prime Minister’s advisor Amarjeet Sinha on Friday highlighted the importance of technology while providing insights on rural development and social sector policies.
“An effective collaboration of pro-poor public welfare, community connect and technology would result in synergies and gains in public policy programmes across various domains,” Sinha said while addressing participants virtually at the India Public Policy Network (IPPN) Conference, organised by Bharti Institute of Public Policy, at the Indian School of Business (ISB).
He emphasised the need for developing frameworks with strong community-connect and enabling technology to steer action in public policy.
The IPPN conference is a two-day virtual conference bringing together academics, researchers and practitioners from national and international universities, research institutions, civil society organisations, public agencies and the private sector from across the world. This is the third edition of the conference and will see over 100 individual paper presentations and 70 proposal presentations over a period of two days.
