Are Indian think tanks a farce?
Interestingly, Centre for Civil Society works with the philosophies of American authoress Ayn Rand, as it endeavours to develop the thinkers of tomorrow; and encourages more libertarianism for the nation’s progress. Out of 5,500 think tanks across the world, 1776 are in USA alone and 1872 are in North America (i.e. 34.25%). In US, think tanks play a pivotal role in policy decision making, which is exemplified by the fact that John Podesta (who heads Centre for American Progress) has been referred to by President Obama as his ‘transition chief’.
Our weakness can also be attributed to the fact that here is genuine dearth of synergy between our academicians and policy barons. Our cabinet ministers often complain of poor quality and archaic information coming to them, whereas our Universities gripe about poor infrastructure, poor quality of researchers, and poor supply of information from ministry. It is difficult to cut either way, as both of them are intractable in their own positions, but this conflict is badly affecting the credibility and effectiveness of our policy makers, which is of paramount importance to India.
