He said that the confidence and morale of the army is high, which can be estimated from this that in the last seven years, they have not allowed a single major terrorist activity in the hinterland. He said that Pakistan-backed terrorism is slowly collapsing in India. In recent years, Pakistan had increased ‘Cease Fire Violation’ on the border, but they have always got a befitting reply from the Indian Army. Referring to China, Rajnath Singh said that we have had a ‘perceptual difference’ with China for a long time. He said that the ‘Agreed Protocol’ between the two nations was ignored by China, after which the Indian Army once again showed its valor to the whole world by taking a step back to China’s PLA Army.

For Detailed News-

Professor B.S. Ghuman, Former Vice-Chancellor, Punjabi University, Patiala and Professor (Retd.), Department of Public Administration, PU delivered lecture on the theme of the webinar.

He further talked about two approaches that could be deciphered from the interaction of Social Science Research and Public Policy. The conventional approach is characterized by a dichotomy between social science research and public policy, while the emerging approach presents a complimentary role of Social Science Research and public policy. However, according to Prof. Ghuman, there are several challenges which must be overcomed to avail the emerging opportunities. There is a need to develop relevant methodological tools that could prepare Public Institutions for participating in the output oriented evidence based policy making scenario. Professor Ghuman concluded with a discussion on strategies to make Social Science Research play an important role in public policy.
