In this issue of India in Transition, Rashmi Sharma, recently retired member of the Indian Administrative Service, and CASI Spring 2018 Visiting Fellow, argues that recurrent failure in implementing policies on the ground in India is a consequence of severe shortcomings in the structure, human resource management, and the processes of the working field administration.
