Abstract
75 years after independence, India has much to be proud of and is both the world’s biggest democracy and the fastest-growing large economy. Yet, it also faces profound challenges that hinder both individual well-being and aggregate growth, including education and skills, health and nutrition, public safety, justice, social protection, and jobs. In this month's Max Weber Lecture, Professor Karthik Muralidharan (University of California, San Diego) will deliver a thought-provoking overview of his highly acclaimed recent book, Accelerating India’s Development (Penguin, 2024), systematically analysing India’s governance challenges, especially in delivering essential public services, and highlights how these are limiting India’s development. Drawing on a wealth of research and practical insights, Accelerating India’s Development provides actionable, evidence-based strategies, emphasising state-level reforms as critical for India’s advancement. Written to be widely accessible, the book aims to bridge the gap between scholarly research, public understanding, and actionable governance. Further, while the book is about India, many of the ideas are relevant globally.
