सुधार, अधिकार और विकास

India · 2005आरटीआई और नरेगा ने भारत के अधिकार-आधारित कल्याण युग की शुरुआत की

संप्रग-1 (UPA-I) के अंतर्गत अधिकार-आधारित विधानों ने शासन को पुनर्परिभाषित किया — सूचना का अधिकार अधिनियम और राष्ट्रीय ग्रामीण रोजगार गारंटी अधिनियम। 18 जुलाई के भारत-अमेरिका परमाणु संयुक्त बयान ने विदेश नीति को नया रूप दिया, सेज (SEZ) अधिनियम और राज्य वैट (VAT) ने सुधारों को आगे बढ़ाया, तथा मुंबई की बाढ़ और कश्मीर के भूकंप ने आपदा प्रतिक्रिया की परीक्षा ली।
