India is a developing country and it is through better public service delivery that inclusive and sustainable socio-economic development can be achieved. There is a great deal of public dissatisfaction with the present state of service delivery at all levels of government. This article highlights the criticality of improving public service delivery for growth oriented governance and the challenges before bureaucracy to achieve it. Underlining the role of service delivery bureaucracy in India, the article stresses upon the imperative need to improve the service delivery mechanism especially in areas like education, health care, urban and rural inji•astructure and employment generation. Various challenges and constraints being faced by the bureaucracy need to be addressed through multi-pronged strategies. The article finally highlights the need to have effective public management of our resources and to create open, transparent and accountable systems of public service delivery.DELIVERY OF PUBLIC SERVICES PUBLIC SERVICE delivery system is the most crucial and critical significance in the entire gamut of governance in a nation, and improvement of public service delivery is perhaps the most important aspect of good governance.

Financial inclusion is considered to be a very critical factor in achieving inclusive growth in a developing country like India. Despite fast-paced economic development, a sizable majority of our population, particularly the low income groups, continue to remain excluded from the opportunities and services provided by the financial sector. MGNREGA and Financial inclusion are both supplementary and complementary to each other. Achieving financial inclusion of all the beneficiaries of MGNREGA is a daunting task especially seen in the context of the lower penetration of financial services and products in the rural areas of a tribal hill district. It is here that the success story of a hilly–tribal district Chamba (HP) shows the way for others to emulate and replicate. The study finds that Chamba district, despite having a very difficult, hilly and inaccessible terrain, has achieved tremendous success in financial inclusion under MGNREGA by having 100 per cent financial inclusion even though the financial infrastructure in the form of banks and post offices to support such financial inclusion is less than optimal. The study shows that if a proper approach, strategy and coordination among all stakeholders is ensured, full financial inclusion can be achieved which will go a long way not only in linking all the MGNREGA beneficiaries with formal financial institutions, but will also take care of their financial and credit requirements in a hassle-free, timely and cost-effective manner.

The aim of this perspective is to provide a review upon the fundamental computational methods deployed in data mining as applied to healthcare data, with particular regards to patient records of psychiatric patients. Albeit clinical data mining has advanced over the years, further research is needed to improve the specificity of pharmacovigilance and prevent adverse drug reactions in psychiatric patients. From describing the main principles and present challenges of data mining to its most-novel applications in clinical psychiatry, this literature review highlights current research gaps that have to be filled to increase the efficacy of psychiatric drugs nowadays, thus improving patient outcomes and decreasing hospitalization costs.
