2 EDUCATIONAL QUALIFICATIONS:
a) Ph.D thesis on “ Economic Reforms and its impact on Urban Land
Markets”, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Melbourne,
Australia.2004.
Thesis Focus:
In India, economic reforms have not helped in
overcoming urban land market problems. Rent -seeking groups
and their complex nature have pressurized land markets. Using
a public choice approach, the thesis analyses the rent -seeking
behaviour of agents in the pre - and post-reform period through
1
metropolitan case studies of Delhi and Ahmedabad. The central
recommendation of the thesis is for the state to shift from
regulatory to facilitative policies in order to achieve more
efficient and equitable outcomes in India's urban land markets.
b) Post Graduate Diploma in Financial Management, Indira Gandhi National
Open University, New Delhi. 1991.
c) Post Graduate Diploma in Town & Country Planning, Technical University of
Szczecin, Poland. 1986. Dissertation on: Solutions to Urban Poverty
Syndrome in India.
d) Master’s Degree in Urban and Regional Planning, School of Planning &
Architecture, New Delhi. 1983. Master’s thesis was on “Multilateral Finance for
Urban Development”.
The thesis focused on the effectiveness of various sources of
finances and t he conditionality associated with those sources
of funding at the local level urban development issues. It
argued that the external financing was effective in an
environment where only peer pressure and productivity and
efficiency counts. The case study was in Chennai (formerly
known as Madras in South India) where the World Bank has
funded heavily for urban development including economic
development.
e) Master’s Degree in Economics, University of Madras, 1980.
