Public Policy and Social Justice in India: An Overview of NDA Performance since 2014 General Elections
India's public policy environment has experienced substantial changes in the realm of social justice since the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) came into power in 2014. This article provides a thorough analysis of the NDA's strategy towards social justice, including examining its important policies and their effects on underprivileged populations. The NDA administration has initiated many prominent programs, including the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana, Ujjwala Yojana, and Ayushman Bharat, with the objectives of promoting financial inclusivity, empowering women, and enhancing healthcare availability. The study examines whether these measures have successfully tackled long-standing inequities in Indian society, notwithstanding their efforts to broaden welfare coverage and enhance access to vital services. Thus based on secondary sources of data, the article offers an analysis of the NDA's efforts in advancing social justice by examining policy outcomes, implementation issues, and the wider socio-political environment. The study provides a summary of the NDA's performance, in promoting social justice, highlighting both achievements and areas where gaps remain. This study adds to the continuing discussion on the future direction of public policy in India and its role in promoting a more inclusive society.
