Two Exciting Announcements in the Field of Public Policy

One, I’d written a blogpost on a World Bank report on the progress of rural sanitation in rural India. These were, according to me, the key takeaways from that report:

Four key results emerge from this report:

Enormous expansion in toilet access, with near-universal coverage of rural sanitation infrastructure

Substantial increase in regular toilet use, especially for the poor and socially disadvantaged groups

Wide variation in progress of regular toilet use across and within states

The impressive gains in regular toilet use are slowing or reversing, sustainability is a key challenge

But that report has now been withdrawn.


Two, next year there will be a festival in Pune. A festival of public policy. The theme is trade-offs.

Details of the festival are here.

Hi there! Thanks for choosing to visit this page, and my blog. My name is Ashish, and I'm a bit of a wanderer when it comes to vocations. I'm not quite sure what I want to do with my life, and I'm not even sure that it is any one single thing. But I know I like knowing about a lot of things, as many as possible. I know I like bike rides, I know I like the city I was born (Pune) and I know I like reading and writing. Feel free to drop me a line if you feel like a chat - I'll look forward to it. Cheers!
