Abstract
A process that ensures opportunities and resources to those who are at risk of poverty and social exclusion, allowing them to participate in economic, social and cultural life in the society is social inclusion, anything lesser would fail to qualify as an inclusionary process. Thus social inclusion requires a new approach to developing and implementing policy and programmes. In the last more than a decade, various policy imperatives have emerged, settled and vanished but initiatives have firmly found that public policies not only bring in good governance but also overall development of society. Inclusive growth comprising facets of social, economic, and political inclusion, has indicated a paradigm shift in governance strategy and policy implementation. It seems that governance initiative for inclusive growth is emerging as a policy model for India, which needs to be replicated in all types of policy implementation processes in India. In order to develop the inclusive growth strategy strong partnerships between all levels of government, business, and community organizations is need of the hour. The XIth Five Year Plan emphasis to restructure policies to achieve a new vision based on faster, more broad-based and inclusive growth suggests governmental inclination for a new policy model imbibing inclusive growth in India. It is typical for India that owing to an unequal distribution of opportunities and wealth, long-term security and stability for people has remained a far cry. However implementation of inclusive growth strategy as a public policy brings in a new paradigm in governance in India. It is a positive aspect for India that our deep democratic decentralization and effective service delivery could bring a turnaround story in implementing the various social inclusion strategies.
