The Public and Social Innovations That Changed India: Characteristics and Trajectories

India has hundreds of pressing social and economic challenges. Resource constraints prevent these challenges from being addressed through a process of imitation of the West. There is thus an urgent need for local public and social innovations that can address India’s problems. At the same time, since independence, India has seen several successful and impact-making innovations including the green revolution, the white revolution, and legislation to create the Right to Information for citizens. The objective of this project is to identify the common characteristics of such successful public and social innovations in India.

India has hundreds of pressing social and economic challenges. Resource constraints prevent these challenges from being addressed through a process of imitation of the West. There is thus an urgent need for local public and social innovations that can address India’s problems. At the same time, since independence, India has seen several successful and impact-making innovations including the green revolution, the white revolution, and legislation to create the Right to Information for citizens. The objective of this project is to identify the common characteristics of such successful public and social innovations in India.
