ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What happens between a well-designed policy and what actually reaches the last person in the line? In this episode of Interlinked, hosts Gurnaaz and Sahasra speak with J.S. Deepak, the former IAS officer who ran India’s first 3G spectrum auction and author of the memoir I Dared to Dial Differently. Drawing on 40 years in government, he reflects on Aadhaar, UP’s midday meal scheme, the Commonwealth Games, and the cost of short postings. He also explains why he thinks the IAS could turn from a service into a circus, and what he calls MAFA: mistaking articulation for action.
