Former Karnataka CS Advocates Non-State Role in Public Policy

S.V. Ranganath, who used to be the top official in Karnataka's government, gave a talk at a university in Andhra Pradesh.

He said that people and groups outside the government, like universities, non-profits, and businesses, should have a bigger say in making public policies.

He explained that good policies need to consider real-world problems, not just theories.

He also talked about how important it is to make decisions based on evidence, learn from experiences, and work together to make policies that are fair and effective.

He believes that making good policies takes time and careful thought, not just quick fixes.
