Topic: Role and Responsibilities of Civil Committees in the Current EnvironmentThe essay should mainly cover the following broad points:The idea of committees arose from the need of a focused attention, deliberations or study on a specific

topic. Such committees consist of subject matter experts or the people who have the authority to call such experts as and when required. Governments world over have depended on committee systems. The system is increasingly becoming a favoured approach in view of the rising complexities and even expanding sphere of state intervention. However, change in governance paradigm, where citizen participation in the processes is considered necessary to have effective governance and public service delivery, has brought increased attention to committees where citizens are also members of a body to look into specific issues.

“To lead, one must follow.” ― Lao Tzu

6 IIPA NEWSLETTER/AUGUST 2017

In the context of decentralization, an important role has been envisaged for grass root level institutions. There are bodies whose members are citizens only, but they have proved to be effective in realm of public affairs. Though in case of developing countries, it may be said that the state has often played a facilitating role to make such bodies effective. In developed societies, citizens have been able to demand such facilitation from the state. However, such instances are not exclusive and there are instances of both the types in both types of societies.

The essay writers may look into the factors that have given impetus to more demand for citizens’ engagement in the governance process and in this context what roles and responsibilities are assumed or indicated by the citizens. The measures to make such committees effective may be discussed to find the necessary and sufficient conditions for them to be able to discharge their roles. The writers may also analyze the domain contestation between the citizens or their groups and the state agencies and to what extent the state is willing to cede ground to such demands. The legitimacy of such arrangements may also be explored.

The competitors need not take up discussions relating to defence subjects as the essay topic is restricted to civil committees.

likely to arise during the implementation of GST focus on the readiness of tax authorities, businesses and classification of commodities to be included under the GST?

Impact of GST on Centre-State RelationsWhat was the need for a constitutional amendment for GST implementation? Will it change the dynamics

Annual Decision Making/Teaching Case Study Competition – 2017The objective of IIPA’s Case Study Programme is to build a body of knowledge in governance through

case studies with a view to promote a deeper and wider understanding of the functioning of Indian Administration in its specific environmental and institutional framework and also to broaden our knowledge and understanding of global and national best practices. In order to develop relevant case studies for use in the learning process, IIPA has renamed its annual case study competition as the Annual Decision Making/Teaching Case Study Competition. A case study submitted for this competition should aim to facilitate the development of conceptual, behavioural and analytical skills, highlight areas for reform and promote sensitivity towards important issues, problems and challenges of public administration and governance.

The Case study may cover one or more of the following facets of public administration and governance:Public policy issues and processes: conceptualisation; planning; implementation; monitoring; evaluation

and review of plans; programmes; schemes and projects with special reference to a specific state;Rural Development, Urban Development, Area based development policies, programmes, projects and

schemes such as MNREGA, Consumer Awareness, Gender Sensitisation, Social Empowerment and Social Inclusion, e-Governance, Human Rights, Elections and Electoral reforms; Law and Order; Government to Citizen and Citizen to Government interaction; Swachh Bharat; and

Service sectors including physical, social and economic infrastructure development, social services, voluntary organisations, cooperatives, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and Public Private Partnership (PPP).

The case study must be in two parts.Part I is to comprise 5-10 A4 size pages typed in double space using size 12 of Times New Roman font

and keeping one and half inches margin on each side of the page. It should consist of a description of an official organisational context concluding with an important decision to be made. The following information could be provided: the decision to be made – what, why and who has to make it; a brief history of the organisation, its vision/mission/values, goals/objectives; the present scenario; key strengths and weaknesses of the organisation; challenges, threats and opportunities; influential personalities/groups relevant to the focal decision – their feelings/views (given in quotations) as obtained through interviews or accurately paraphrased; socio-political, economic, technological and cultural pressures; group and personality factors - values, attitudes, needs and expectations; skills; organisational reward systems; behaviour modeling and example setting by the organisation’s leadership and other factors relevant to the focal decision; visualised options/alternatives that seem to be available and their immediate, short, medium and long-term consequences- the pros and cons thereof. Finally, instead of merely calling this part of the case study as Part I, it should be given a title based upon either one of the following:-

“Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs.” ― Henry Ford

focal organisation/department/division/unit/section, programme/project/, scheme; andfocal decision to be made. Part II is to comprise 1 – 3 A4 size page(s) typed in double space using size 12 of Times New Roman

It should consist of the case writer(s) perceptions of what actually happened – the decision that was actually made, why, with what expectations, the actual consequences that occurred and any views that the case writer wished to share vis-à-vis the case and the important learning – problems/concepts/insights and or skills – that the case may be utilised for imparting in the teaching/training process. Finally, instead of calling this part of the case study as part II, it should be entitled: Perceptions of the Case Writer (s).

An executive summary of the case study is to comprise 1 – 2 A 4 size page(s) and typed in the same way as Parts I and II mentioned earlier. Three copies each of the case study (i.e., Parts I and II) and the executive summary are to be submitted.

The case writer(s) should also state whether the case study has been approved for publication by the concerned organisation or whether approval is yet to be taken; and, finally, the signature(s) of the case writer(s). The competition has a first prize of Rs.10,000, a second prize of Rs. 6,000 and a third prize of Rs. 4,000. Excluding the award winning case studies, any other case studies that are considered suitable for publication shall be given an honorarium of Rs. 2,000 each. Any individual or group of individuals may submit a case study to the Institute for the competition. In case of joint authorship, the award will be equally distributed. However, each individual may submit only one entry for the competition, either individually or as part of a group. A case study submitted for the competition must fall within the broad areas specified and be in the format prescribed above. The case study should not have been published elsewhere as the copyright will vest with the Institute and the writer, if the case study is selected for award/publication.
