Book Review@IIPA Part 17 l Reimagining Institutions l Dr Karthik Muralidharan

The video based on the chapter highlights the importance of robust institutions in creating the rules and structures within which ideas and interests operate. For India to accelerate its development, there must be a deliberate focus on generating better ideas, aligning interests toward the common good, and systematically strengthening institutions to facilitate governance and reform.
Dr. Muralidharan explores both formal institutions (like parliaments and courts) and informal ones (such as cultural norms), stressing the need to prioritize formal institutions to improve governance. He addresses the decline in the effectiveness of Indian institutions over time, citing factors like understaffing, political interference, and weakened autonomy.
To reverse this trend, the author advocates for state-level reforms as a key leverage point. Given the autonomy states possess and their close interaction with citizens, state-level institutions offer significant opportunities to innovate, design, and strengthen governance structures.
Join us as we dive into this insightful analysis and understand why strengthening institutions is pivotal for India’s development.
