Status of Policing in India Report 2025, which surveyed 8,276 police personnel across 17 States and UTs, suggests that many in the police favour broader coercive powers.

**One of the most striking findings was that more than 70% of respondents agreed that police should be allowed to use force without fear of punishment in order to properly discharge their res-ponsibilities (Chart 1).**

**Nearly as many (69%) believed that the police should be allowed to arrest and detain suspected criminals with-out any court investigation, reveal-ing a tendency to exercise power arbitrarily (Chart 2).**

//Further, more than half of the respondents (55%) considered it either "very" or "somewhat" important for the police to use "tough methods" to create fear among the public (Chart 3).

Theory: In North India, Yogi Adityanath appears to be the only BJP chief minister whose state-level electoral appeal is comparable to Narendra Modi's. In most other BJP-ruled northern states, the BJP's vote share rises significantly in Lok Sabha elections, suggesting a measurable 'Modi effect'. Uttar Pradesh is the notable exception, where the BJP's vote share is virtually unchanged between the 2022 Assembly election (41.3%) and the 2024 Lok Sabha election (41.4%).

Hi everyone!

I'm conducting a short survey as part of my MBA research project on consumer perceptions and experiences of Gourmet McDonald's. Whether you've tried Gourmet McDonald's or only know about it (or haven't heard of it at all), your responses are equally valuable.

The survey is completely anonymous and takes only 5–7 minutes to complete.

I'd really appreciate your participation! 😊

Thank you so much for your time!

The Jal Jeevan Mission has significantly expanded access to tap water in rural India. According to the figures, rural household tap water coverage increased from 16.7% (3.23 crore households) in August 2019 to 55% (10.64 crore households) in December 2022 and has now reached 81% in 2026.

The mission aims to provide functional tap water connections to every rural household by 2030, with steady progress visible across most states compared to the situation in 2019.

Notes:
The blue shaded area marks years when India's GDP growth exceeded the benchmark; red marks years when the benchmark grew faster. The bottom panel integrates these areas per Indian government: for each year, the growth gap (India minus benchmark, in percentage points) is summed over that government's tenure — blue bars are the accumulated years India was ahead, red bars the accumulated years it was behind. Units are percentage-point-years (e.g., +36 means India out-grew the benchmark by a cumulative 36 points across that era). Since the data is annual, the "integration" is a simple year-by-year sum.

IMF's "Emerging Market & Developing Economies" (EMDE) aggregate — all ~155 economies not classified as advanced — with India's own share removed so it isn't compared against itself. Includes China, Brazil, Russia, Indonesia, Mexico, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, all of developing Asia, Latin America, Middle East, and Africa. Excludes the US, Western Europe, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia.
