Government needs to be better educated in the realities of the marketplace but even in civilian research and development, its actions cannot be guided solely by them. Nor is the reconciliation of government and industry interests simply a matter of consulting one another. If the previous hypotheses are correct, what is required is the institutionalization of private sector participation in public policy decisions and management. This proposition is radically at odds with the more extreme versions of the "hands off" philosophy of some executives in industry and the "arm s length" philosophy of some officials, in government. 

While this is no simple task, the development of criteria for Federal civilian R D investment, and by implication, non-intervention, is a longer term effort indeed, the latter is an evolutionary goal. Yet the institutionalization of private sector participation in R D programs would facilitate the flow of information and counsel from industry that is needed to inform decisions about where, under what circumstances, and to what extent the government ought to commit its resources. 

By the early 1980s, the national goiter prevalence survey data demonstrated, however, that goiter was not localized, but rather affected all regions of India. In 1984, the Central Council of Health took the decision to iodize all edible salt throughout the country, and invited private sector participation in the production and distribution of iodized salt. USI was to be achieved completely in a phased manner by 1990. 

The shift from the highly structured gas world of government-backed bilateral, fixed-price contracts to a new world of private, market-related contracts raises questions about national security of supply. Private sector participants have different interests from countries they cannot be expected to consider automatically the energy security concerns of client nations as they are driven mainly by commercial considerations. 

The economic reforms initiated since 1991 in India have resulted in GDP growth rate of 6.8%. It is being increasingly realised that this growth rate cannot be sustained unless the infrastructure is expanded correspondingly. There is a feeling now that the Government s over reliance on the private sector participation in the power sector has misfired due to various...

There are no easy prescriptions for successful risk communication. However, tliose who liave studied and participated in recent debates about risk generally agree on seven cardinal rules. These rules apply equally well to tlie public and private sectors. Altliough many of tliese rules may seem obvious, they are continually and consistently violated in practice.

The forum discussion was framed in the context of whether private-sector companies or the government should make investments in hydrogen research, development, and deployment. While forum participants did not address the costs of hydrogen, they identified the following potential benefits of hydrogen, which warrant further examination and assessment ... 

Participants emphasized that both sectors, public and private, need each other as long-term stable partners, and it is vitally important for the government to be able to make long-term commitments to hydrogen if the private sector is going to make large capital investments in it. The only way to overcome the hurdles to hydrogen production and deployment (discussed in the next chapter) is for the public and private sectors to cooperate in a way they never have before.
