NITI Aayog on Monday released the “Best Practices in Social Sector: A Compendium, 2023” in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme UNDP. To commemorate 75 years of India’s independence and highlight and laud the efforts of Union Ministries and State Governments, this compendium includes 75 case studies cutting across 14 key social sectors.
The case studies have been sourced from all States and Union Territories and 30 Ministries and Departments of the Government of India. The aim of this exercise has been to synthesise lessons for the future to expand, enhance and improve life at the grassroots level.
In his address, Vice Chairman of NITI Aayog Suman Bery said that this publication is an opportunity for peer-to-peer learning among states, to applaud the efforts of innovations taking place in the States and to adopt practices that are best suited to the context. He added that this document should be made a living document and should be an active tool for innovation and scale-up.
Chief Executive Officer of NITI Aayog BVR Subrahmanyam said that the utility of the compendium lies in the potential of its case studies being replicated across States and Union Territories. In his remark on the compendium, Resident Representative of UNDP India, Shoko Noda said that this document is not only significant for peer learning among states, but also an important source for other countries to learn from India’s successes. NITI Aayog said that the seventy-five best practices highlight models which are innovative, sustainable, replicable and impactful.
