Dr. Kalam envisions an empowered and developed India by 2020 through competitive and innovative technology driven societal transformation. He also charted various state government development mission mode models based on their core competencies. Dr. Kalam has a simplicity and humility which instantly endears him to all who come into contact with him. His social dialogues break conventional barriers and build bridges of new human relations in a pluralistic society.

"Debt bondage has become a borderless problematic phenomenon through the ages. Over the past 25 years (1980-2005), the magnitude of debt crisis has worsened in most of the Asian countries. The various palliative prescriptions of economic trinity--IMF, WB and WTO--to overcome "debt overhang" has actually fallen short of expectations with side-effects demoralizing the basic politico-economic structures and social value systems in developing countries. The Jubilee 2000 coalition debt cancellation across the countries have intensively impacted the wisdom of "the Washington Consensus" messiahs including G-8 big brothers of world economic salvation. Against the emerging unipolar world, enveloping globalisation and enlarging debt tentacles, there is greater urgency to interface with the Asian level and global links of the debt dynamics today. This compilation contains the concept paper, keynote address, seminar papers and documents of an Asian level seminar on debt trap in the globalised Asia today held at Ecumenical Christian Centre, Bangalore on January 27-29, 2006. The deliberations of the seminar singled out that only by building up the capabilities of people that debt crisis in Asia could be sustainably solved through the people-centric development programmatics and signalled an appeal to the donor agencies to "forgive" debts in the larger interest ushering in a new socio-economic order in Asia. The book is divided into four parts. While Part I focuses on the new global economic order, Part II presents country reports on India, China, the Philippines and Sri Lanka, Part III touches on the human dimensions of debt bondage and relief. Part IV deals with the debt relief perspectives pertaining to debt crisis resolution in Asia and Debt-Free Asia vision 2020. A statement issued by the participants of the Seminar and additional reading materials are also included for a wider discussion. How do we make sure that will debt relief raise growth substantially? Will debt relief benefits poor people? And how can we ensure that poor countries in Asia do not get into debt trap again? These are some of the key policy issues and programmes covered in this extremely useful book." (jacket).

Nation building is a complex dynamics of ideological philosophical political socio economical and cultural impactional forces. Since independence the simultaneous role of public and private sectors in nation building activities was widely acclaimed as an effective socio economic management policy in India. The economic reforms strategy of growth adopted in the 1990s has not benefited large segments of the population. It is acknowledged that the government spending on the social sector (comprising education health and family welfare water supply sanitation housing social welfare nutrition rural employment and minimum basic services) in percentage terms has been stagnant since 1996 97 in India. Market failures and the market socialism successes have mandated neo participatory role for the public and private sectors in well being of the people. In the beginning of 21 century PPP has become not merely a nation building programme but a redefined strategy of societal governance. It is based on a fundamental philosophy of government and of government's role in relation to the other essential institutions of a free and healthy society. This compilation contains the concept paper keynote address seminar papers documents and response papers of the National Seminar on Public Private Partnership (PPP) in Nation Building held at Ecumenical Christian Centre Bangalore on January 28 30 2005. The book is an important contribution to the Indian new public management philosophy debate and dialogue dynamics. The contents are guiding referral to students scholars in social theories and policy pundits partnership seekers development programmers and social activists in nation building activities. 216 pp.

Since 26 December 2004 the occurrence of natural calamites in terms of Tsunami and heavy floods has become a regular phenomenon in India. Not only did they affect the people in coastal areas but also inhabitants in and around inland regions. During the past one year it is evident that the extent to which a population is affected by a calamity does not purely lie in the physical component of vulnerability but is contextual also to the prevailing social and economic conditions and its is consequential effect on human activities within a given society. Amid the countless corpse statistics countable survivors stories and gigantic relief and rehabilitation operations many eyebrows have raised about the philosophical question is there God. It is reflected in a spate of articles and letters in newspapers published by rationalists religious leaders and theologians faith believers scientists and common people all over the world. Post Tsunami rescue relief and rehabilitation experiences by different governments NGOs and donor agencies have opened up new vistas in disaster mitigation and management strategies. This special book Disaster Mitigation and Management Post Tsunami Perspectives is to commemorate the decadal service (1996 2006) of Vellore Institute of Development Studies (VIDS). Additional informative as well as illustrative media reports especially after two year historic natural disaster have been added to build up the necessary practical parameters of disaster mitigation and management among the people. Do's and don'ts related to Tsunami earthquake floods and heavy rains are catalogued as cautious preventive measures. The book's coverage and contents on disaster management will become a good referral for post Tsunami disaster plans and programmes. 250 pp.
