Diagnostic

TL;DR: Diagnostic caselet presented to academics and practitioners for problem diagnosis, analysis, and policy-level recommendations.

Abstract: In this feature a caselet with rich policy implications is presented to a panel of academics and practitioners. The panelists diagnose the problem or problems, analyse their causes arid make policy-level recommendations that go beyond the immediate situation presented in the case. Readers are requested to send their interpretations and recommendations with respect to the situation presented and analysed, and also for the caselet to be discussed in the next issue of Vikalpa. To facilitate the editorial process, please send three type written double-spaced copies of your responses. The length may be kept to not more than three typed pages.
