Clear problem
Defined place, affected people, baseline and present condition.
Best of India
Find working Indian practices, understand why they work and test whether they can travel.
Best of India is not a popularity list. It is a structured evidence library for government, community, academic, nonprofit, enterprise and individual practices with public value worth studying.

What a practice must show before being called worth replicating.
Visible mechanism
A credible explanation of how activities create the result.
Measured outcome
Evidence of change beyond spending, attendance or launch.
Honest limitations
What failed, remains uncertain or depends on context.
Implementation detail
Owner, capability, cost, process, time and safeguards.
Equity check
Who benefits, who may be excluded and how harm is handled.
Independent trace
Sources or reviewers beyond promotional claims where possible.
Replication conditions
What another place must have, change or avoid.
Practice library

Replication decision
A successful case is evidence to investigate—not permission to copy.
| Question | Original place | New place | Decision |
|---|---|---|---|
| Is the problem comparable? | Baseline and affected group. | Local baseline and variation. | Comparable, partial or different. |
| Is the mechanism transferable? | How the result was produced. | Required institutions and behaviour. | Adopt, adapt or reject. |
| Can capacity support it? | Skills, finance and ownership. | Available capability and gaps. | Ready, prepare or not feasible. |
| Are risks controlled? | Known failure and safeguard. | New risks and excluded groups. | Pilot, redesign or stop. |
| How will success be measured? | Original baseline and outcome. | Local baseline and decision gates. | Scale only after evidence. |
India-fit principle: study the mechanism, compare context, run a measurable pilot and keep the option to stop.
