I'm Harish Adithya — a development practitioner working across policy, institutions, and delivery.

On a mission to help public programs work for the people they serve.

About me

High-level plans—whether national policies, state initiatives, or district-level drives—often struggle to deliver results on the ground. I share what I learn from the front lines—the practical fixes and smart designs that help a big promise actually arrive, intact, where it's needed most.

The mission: To help public programs work for the people they serve.

What I write about:

1. Real‑world breakdowns

Why good ideas stall. I unpack where and why execution falters—whether in blueprinting, budgeting, training, or data flows—across sectors like education and health.

2. Front‑line stories

What it looks like on the ground. Case studies from classrooms, clinics, and block offices that show how interpretation, bureaucracy, or resource gaps warp a policy—and how practitioners navigate (or repair) those shifts.

3. Actionable strategies

Tools to close the gap. Adaptive frameworks, leaner processes, and alignment tricks that reconnect high‑level intent to on‑the‑ground needs.

4. System resilience

Designing for change. Practical advice on embedding feedback loops, fostering honest collaboration, and building programmes that learn and improve rather than lock in yesterday's plan.
