Rao was not only a pioneering economist but also a visionary educator who laid the foundation for some of India's most prestigious institutions. His contributions to the fields of economics, education, and public policy have left an indelible mark on the nation. Rao's work in economic planning was crucial during the formative years of independent India. He played a key role in shaping India's economic policies, emphasizing the importance of balanced development and the need for inclusive growth. As a founder of the Institute of Economic Growth and the Delhi School of Economics, Rao fostered a culture of rigorous academic research and training that continues to produce influential scholars and policymakers. Beyond his professional achievements, Rao was a mentor to many and a passionate advocate for education as a means to empower the underprivileged. His vision for an educated India still resonates today, inspiring educators, economists, and policymakers alike. On this day, we honor V.K.R.V. Rao's legacy and his enduring contributions to India’s economic and educational landscape. His work continues to guide and inspire generations in their quest for knowledge and progress. #VKRVRao #Punyatithi #Tribute #IndianEconomist #EconomicPlanning #DelhiSchoolOfEconomics #InstituteOfEconomicGrowth #IndianAcademia #EducationPioneer #VisionaryLeader #PublicPolicy #InclusiveGrowth #Mentor #IndianHistory #ScholarlyLegacy #NationBuilder #SocialReformer #Inspiration #Legacy #IndianEducation

"I am what I am today because of education." An academic - economist first and then a politician, someone who had the instincts of a round-the-clock technocrat with less belligerent attitude of a pompous politician. Dr. Singh always had the knack for uplifting the lives of the downtrodden. From reading under a kerosene lamp, he had made his journey to some of the most prestigious universities of the world, all on his own academic merit. It was under his economic leadership as the country's finance minister that India opened up to the world for a better future. Having himself risen from his humble beginnings from Gah, a small village in present day Pakistan, to occupying the highest office in the Indian Democray, Dr. Singh was a classic example to understand the importance of education. His years as the Prime Minister were a testament to his untiring efforts for the marginalized communities and his commitment to strengthening democracy, in various legislations such as the RTI, MNREGA, Right to education to name a few. He did not believe in plaintalking, which was at once his weakness and strength rolled into one. He was man of few words but whatever he spoke, it always struck the right chord. A genial politician whose humility is a rare occurrence in mainstream political class. Today I write this missive as a homeage to a real hero, who has epitomized the idea of dreaming big and manifesting it to reality through the shear power of education, someone whom history would admire more and judge less. #india #drmanmohansingh #education #rip #linkedinforcreators #linkedin

Is Consumption a Hidden Factor in Public Policy? 🌱 Join us for the launch of our new public policy series at the School of Liberal Studies, BMU, where we explore the critical role of consumption in shaping public policy. Our first talk, “Is Consumption a Black Box in Public Policy?” will discuss why consumption must be given more weight in policy considerations, especially in light of its deep connections to sustainability, inequality, and individual well-being. The talk will showcase why a serious examination of consumption patterns is essential to addressing today’s pressing environmental and societal challenges. Panelists will explore the complexities of how consumerism and neoliberal values shape India’s perception of the “good life” and discuss the significant, often overlooked, impact of these values on public policy. Importantly, the session will shed light on the most crucial question: How can consumption be meaningfully embedded into public policy frameworks? The session will also shed light on the crucial question of how consumption can be meaningfully included in policy frameworks.

Reservation? One of the most controversial topics, right? In fact, because of this, students in Bangladesh overthrew their government. But in India, it holds a different position. The basic definition of reservation, according to me, is: "Reservation is not a policy for poverty upliftment; rather, it is a constitutional provision to ensure equal representation among all sections of society." For me, my thoughts on reservation have changed dramatically. Being a former science student, it hurts when your seat is lost due to just a couple of marks. And you arrive at the question: Why merit is not prioritised in India? I will start discussing these important social questions on LinkedIn (because it's a professional platform rather than a cringe one). Do share your opinions. Thank you!

Any system that studies science, social science, psychology, space science, arts and philosophy can only be a few centuries old. Even the oldest and most renowned Western universities are a few hundred years old and have historically been dependent on wealthy individuals and governments for their growth and advancement. In contrast, India’s Guru Parampara stands out. Knowledge in India has been preserved and passed down for thousands of years through Shruti texts and traditional education systems. This system is funded by the community and has been independent of kings, wealthy patrons or powerful authorities, ensuring its purity and integrity. If we truly want to save the world, we must adopt the #Sanatan system – a time-tested approach rooted in universal welfare. Institutions like Oxford, Columbia, MIT, the United Nations or even the World Economic Forum need to follow this ancient wisdom. This is not just a choice but a necessity. Ignoring Sanatani wisdom can lead humanity to destruction. It is a call to recognize the difference between systems that serve the few and those that work for the happiness and well-being of all.
