This portal is managed by government economists of India (known as [http://www.ies.gov.in/ Indian Economic Service (IES) Officers]) and is intended to cater to the requirements of their counterparts in other countries as well as to academicians, economists, policy practitioners, financial journalists, students and to any interested citizen, both within the country and abroad. The '''objective''' of this portal is to increase transparency in government by simplifying indigenous concepts or by introducing domestic institutions to support the professional development of public policy economists. It is meant to enrich and enhance citizen friendly policy formulation through dialogue and collaborative action. The '''motivation''' behind this site is the then Chief Economic Advisor at Ministry of Finance, Government of India- [[Dr. Kaushik Basu]] (Dec 2009 - July 2012)- who on the occasion of fiftieth year of establishment of Indian Economic Service inspired IES officers to create a website for explaining economics related concepts which are of relevance to India. The '''forerunner''' for this website is the internally circulated daily newsletter ''iES Today'' which was widely received and appreciated by policy makers of the country. '''Members:''' All serving IES officers are automatically members of this website and are vested with the rights for writing the content. The Government of India does not monitor the entries and the views expressed therein are not necessarily those of the government. The entries, therefore, must not be treated as official statements of policy or definitions. |} </td> <td width="2%">&nbsp;</td> <td valign="top"> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="49%" valign="top"> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td style="background:#c32148; height: 31px; color:white; font-size: 140%; text-align:center; border-bottom:1.5px solid #c32148">Recent Concepts</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border: 1px solid #c32148;"> <recent limit="10" namespace="all" /> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="2%">&nbsp;</td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> {| cellspacing=0 align=center cellpadding=5px width=100% style="background: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #c32148;" |- | style="background:#c32148;color:white; font-size: 140%; text-align:center; border-bottom:1.5px solid #c32148"| Today's concept |- | style="border-bottom:0px solid #c32148"| <dailyfeaturedpage> </dailyfeatured> |} </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> <table> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> </table> <analytics uacct="UA-25077487-1" ></analytics> <meta name="title" content="Title of your page that appears in the browser, different to the title appearing on the page and URL"></meta> <meta name="keywords" content="arthapedia, indian economy portal, indian economy concepts, indian economic service, ies, Dr. C.
