The Delhi Model, for the first time in independent India, brought the issue of transforming public education and healthcare from the margins to the centre of Indian politics. It prioritizes investments in human capital development and better service delivery for all citizens, while ensuring a social safety net for the most vulnerable. This book is the first such account of what the Delhi Model truly is, detailing its economic foundation and how it compares with other governance models in India, especially the Gujarat Model. Jasmine Shah, in this authoritative and research-backed account, unpacks the reforms undertaken by the AAP government in Delhi in six key sectors?education, health, air pollution, transport, electricity and water?and the outcomes they resulted in. Analysing the policies and reforms laid down in the past decade, Jasmine draws out an ambitious road map for building a developed India by leveraging principles of the Delhi Model.
