"Behavioural Economics and Public Policy in India

In the policy sphere, behavioural economics is a fairly modern branch of economics, one which is still

being explored, with its scope widening alongside each passing day. Since a majority of people have

identical responses to a particular nudge, the slightest tweak in a pre-existing mechanism can orchestrate

massive consequences which sometimes defy basic ideas of rationality. This explains the various nudges

in policymaking. It is in this context, that this theme was chosen for BLISSPOINT 2021.

The keynote speaker for the event was Mr. Parameswaran Iyer, who has served as an IAS officer and as

Secretary, Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation, Government of India. Noted for his pivotal role in

Drinking Water Program, he has bene a source of inspiration for civil servants and youth worldwide.

Sharing his experience both of being in the governemnt and outside, Mr. Iyer drew the attention of the

audience to the new book of his where he reflects about this at length. . Mr. Iyer shared his expertise and

excerpts of his own experiences as a policy maker with all the participants of the seminar. He talked about

how pricniples of behavioural economics were significant in formulating and implementing intricate

public policy projects like the Swachh Bharat Mission and other projects. His discussion revolved around

the effective tools used in the execution of public policy decisions and how these tools have evolved over

the years. This was followed by an interaction with the audience.
