A Bill that reimagines higher education regulation

To ensure that the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047 is achieved, India needs citizens who can lead from here. The Viksit Bharat Shiksha Adhishthan Bill, 2025, which was introduced in the Lok Sabha on December 15, 2025, aims to make this a reality and help reimagine India's higher education institutions.

Why Article 6 is a powerful tool for India

India's first step under Article 6 marks more than a technical milestone; it is an opportunity to access advanced technologies, attract climate-aligned finance, and deepen international partnerships.


7.

Bhoomi, a governance success

For decades, access to land records was one of rural India's most persistent governance failures. Karnataka's Bhoomi project, now completing 25 years, offers an instructive counter-point showing how administrative reform can reshape the relationship between governance and the people.

Solar panels yield far more energy per acre than biofuels

Electric vehicles might be promoted as the key technological solution for lowcarbon transport today, but they were not always the obvious option. Back in the early 2000s, it was biofuels. Rather than extracting and burning oil, we could grow crops like cereals and sugarcane, and turn them into viable fuels.

How Trump is violating international law

The U.S's action in Venezuela is one of the most flagrant violations of international law. It hardly needs emphasis that the action has violated the core of the UN charter [Article 2(4)] which prohibits the "threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any State" except with the approval of the UN Security Council or in self-defence (Article 51).
