1. Contexti. DalitsA primary challenge in approaches to economic growthis the need to ensure Dalits, Adivasis and other minorityand marginalized groups are partners in determiningthe priorities of the growth sectors which have made oureconomy one of the fastest growing economies in the world.Dalit, Adivasi and other minority perspectives, interestsand development do not seem to be evident in the currentplanning model. India has had to continuously mobilizeforeign resources to meet its domestic needs. This foreigninvestment has, however, been focused on priority sectorssuch as infrastructure development, energy and powersectors, irrigation, roads, and urban development. Thesesectors are planned such that they seem to be out of thepurview of Dalits and Adivasis. The benefits may trickledown, but the focus seems to be on other sections of society.Given the new image of a developed nation for India,and the high spending in defence and nuclear power, severalcountries have wanted to curtail aid to India. However,strategies have not emerged as yet to increase state socialsector spending.The Public Private Partnership (PPP) model has beenlooked at as an alternative to increased government spendingon public sector services. To encourage private sectorinvestment and cut government costs, this then encouragesthe deployment of user fees to access the said services. Thelargest values of contracts are in ports, followed by urbandevelopment, energy, roads and airports, 1 and a fairly smallvolume is devoted to education. Maharashtra, AndhraPradesh and Karnataka have the highest PPP projects. Ananalysis of where the Dalits are and what stakes they have inPPP projects, will depict their abysmal participation levels.The disaggregated data on these aspects is not maintained.Clearly, having the private sector finance public sectorservices has resulted in heavy investment in airports, ports,roads and health and education in urban areas. There is nomonitoring or assessment of whether health and educationalservices are being provided as per the needs of Dalits,Adivasis and minorities. Plan outlays on health, educationor social sector are currently less than the expected rates ofallocation of GDP. It was 4.3 per cent of total GDP forhealth, education, drinking water and sanitation. Expectedlevel for education alone was 6 per cent and 5 per cent asstipulated by the World Health Organization (WHO)for health expenditure. Social sector spending on Dalits,Adivasis and minorities has also been reduced considerablyafter the initial three years of planning last year.ii. YouthThere is a need to understand and define ‘growth’ beyondGross Domestic Product (GDP) and economic terms.Enhancing the capacity for the growth of the economy isthe ‘means’ to an end. This is the holistic development ofthe nation. Economic growth as a measure can be quite1 http://www.pppinindia.com/database.php15
