Jasmine Shah, an AAP leader and policy expert, will release her book The Delhi Model: A Bold New Road Map to Building a Developed India on December 15. The book is being published by Penguin Random House India and was announced on November 26, during the AAP’s 13th foundation day.
In the book, Shah talks about the “Delhi Model” of governance, which focuses on improving public services like education, healthcare, and utilities. It highlights how the AAP government has put more attention on human development and made sure everyone has access to these services, especially the most vulnerable.
Shah, who has worked as the vice-chairperson of Delhi’s Dialogue and Development Commission, gives a detailed account of the reforms in the city. The book also compares the Delhi Model to other governance models in India, like the Gujarat Model.
The book has already received praise from notable figures. Former RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan said it provides a clear view of how the AAP has improved key services in Delhi and focuses on human development. Justice Madan Lokur, a former Supreme Court judge, also praised the book, mentioning that many ideas from the Delhi Model have been successfully put into action, especially in education and healthcare.
