KEY POINTS
· BRAP is a more decentralised than the World Bank’s now-discontinued Ease of Doing Business report the latter would do its country rankings on the basis of surveys in a clutch of major cities in countries, using 10 broad parameters, to arrive at its conclusions.
· Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Jharkhand, Punjab and Chhattisgarh find a mention for the steps taken under some of these heads.
· In this time’s report, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Telangana, Haryana, Karnataka, Punjab and Tamil Nadu emerged as the ‘top achievers’.
· The report says it is based on ‘100 per cent feedback in multilingual format’. This time, the assessment areas include access to information, besides single window clearance, labour, environment, sectoral reforms and others.
· Such a criticism has been voiced with respect to other indices, such as the NITI Aayog’s State Energy and Climate index. In order to ensure that cooperative federalism works in practice, it is important that these indices are drawn up with care and clarity.
· Surely, a broader institutional environment too plays a role here in terms of day to day governance capacity, infrastructure, logistics, law and order, education and health systems, and above all, a climate of civic responsibility.

Business Reform Action Plan is a more decentralised approach as rather than ease of doing business being limited to a few areas, few cities and few businesses we are seeing it across the country.
Why is BRAP better?
Assessments include more broader perspectives such as:
*Access to information, besides single window clearance.
*Labour,environment, sectoral reforms, and others.
* For promoting cooperative federalism indices are drawn up with care and clarity.
* Scope for improvement, a process of wide ranging consultations may enhance.
* It may evolve as a worthy substitute addressing concerns of all businesses, rural and urban, small and large.
A broader institutional environment too plays a role in terms of day to day governance capacity, infrastructure, logistics, law and order, education and health systems and climate of civic responsibility.
