What is ONOE?+ A Youth Leadership Program with Indian School of Leadership!
Policy Post #123
Editor’s Note ✍️
Hi, hope you’re well :)
This has been a whirlwind of a week for Indian polity, especially with the special session of Parliament ongoing and the passage of the women’s reservation bill last evening. However, the devil here lies in the details with many experts stating that owing to constituency delimitation requirements - a 33% reservation for women in the Parliament as well as state assemblies is atleast a decade away, if not more. What’re your views on such a bill and caveats it comes with? Do comment here or reply to this email to share with us!
Also in this edition of The Policy Post:
🔹A detailed look at the Government’s proposal regarding One Nation One Election
🔹An exciting fellowship opportunity with Janaagraha for women in public finance
🔹Opportunity to participate in the ‘Democracy Express’ by the Indian School of Democracy
🔹How India’s ‘Heat Action’ plans are stacking up

This Week’s Policy Focus 🔎
The conversation around "One Nation, One Election" (ONOE) heralded by the ruling party, seems to be picking up steam with a committee set-up to investigate the idea and its feasibility led by former President Ram Nath Kovind. What does ONOE mean, how could it possible be operationalised in India and what’d be its pros and cons?
